Well, actually, what I really meant was integration with them: the ability to have the phone's calendar auto-magically sync with Google Calendar constantly (and widgets showing appointments on your screen, such stuff), similarly good gmail support for email client (and a better email program than what modest has been in diablo), etc. that sort of thing. The facebook and flickr logos on the maemo page sort or lead me to believe that this thing WILL have good integration with popular services, so hopefully google calendar sync will be as simple as checking a checkbox and filling in your account name.

I guess what I'm saying that I'm very impressed with the hardware and optimistic about the software, but we'll see =) Hopefully it'll be better than we hoped for and keep getting better with the community's support.

But some elements disturb me (yes, I am an eternal troublemaker):

Jabber: ...is Ovi's chat protocol

Free formats: Nokia is worried about submarine patents, but you can install them yourself.

Wifi: yes

Vertical use: application decides

Not having the entire tablet as open source is NOT the end of the world. Relax... a lot of details haven't come to light yet. Don't worry, probably as much of the software, maybe more will be open source this time around.

Re: Now it's official: Maemo 5 and the N900 launch!

Where is the Nokia N900 SIP client? I can't find it in the specs, only Skype. I hate it when Nokia cripples VoIP in new Nseries. N810 has it.

Free formats: Nokia is worried about submarine patents, but you can install them yourself.

Or can I install a VoIP client by myself?

Don\t worry.

Re: Now it's official: Maemo 5 and the N900 launch!

Peter, the Ovi Maps program, is that going to cost money to use like wayfinder did?

Re: Now it's official: Maemo 5 and the N900 launch!

@ livefreeordie, iskarion,zerojay : Thank you for your responses. ^_^

I feel better (especially for WiFi). Should report this error to Nokia? How? ^_^

Ok. But all software pre-installed support that? Especially to be used with one hand.

I don't think you'll have to, but you certainly can.
