Sure they were. But that assumed a robust wifi infrastructure... which exists in some areas, almost in others and not at all in even more. : /

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 
I recall several post where people wanted to see the gecko code updated to the more recent code base to gain some performance benefits. Are there any rumors that this 4.1 release could do that? I love the browser, but any performance boosts would be great.

Also, I noticed some flash movies (youtube) are a little slow (even when not in a high bit rate) - to be expected from a 400mhz processor. Is there any educated opinion that updated/better optimized Flash or Gecko code could improve playback some?

Maybe the better question is this, are there any educated opinions that there are video performance enhancement yet to come?

Thanks,
Bruce

You can see the browser changelog from the last published version (1.0.3) in its svn.
There you have an idea of the work that they are doing in the browser.

microb-engine changelog: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scm...er&view=markup
libgtkmozembed changelog: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scm...er&view=markup


There are a few very interesting patchs in libgtkmozembed on March 18th.

Is it correct then that we should expect the Diablo release to come out at some point today?

It was going to arrive simultaneously with the WiMax edition correct?

Nothing to expect, as there has been no official word. ;)

Well, the N810W announcement is expected tomorrow by many people.
But there was a gap between N810 announcement and launch, and another gap before we got OS2008 for N800.

So don't get your hopes up...

It's far too late to tell me not to get my hopes up :)

Okay, go ahead and get your hopes up, but go to sleep and we'll wake you when there's news. :D
