We should have at least a few hundred commercial grade apps at launch, & even more non-commercial.

At first I was really excited about developing for the N950, but I've come to realize that it only supports QML for interface designs. Having to learn a new scripting language so I can rewrite my Maemo 5 apps for the N950 is just frustrating.
But I'll keep on going with a steady pace.
Please don't give up, we're all going through a though time now I know!
Everything management's doing/done suggests they don't want the N9 to be a success.
So we need devs to be even more positive than before...

I have to say that although the hardware keyboard is nice. The slideout mechanism really sucks in comparison to the N900.
It's great that the screen is lifted a little, but to slide it out takes quite a bit of effort. It just never feels fluent and easy to do.
But would you say it's faulty, as was claimed at the beginning of the year?

I'll wait and see. I'm hoping for more "useful" apps. I don't need the quantity, just quality.

I'll keep on going, I'm quite far with my port of the EasyList app. It's even in the "Harmattan style". I'm quite happy about it now. QML is quite easy, but sometimes not as logical to me.

The combination of the slide mechanism with the slim design might not be the best design choice. You have little grip to easily slide the screen open. BUT once it's opened it's the best invention since sliced bread. The slightly lifted screen makes it so much easier for your thumbs to reach the screen and the keyboard without moving your grip. That's fantastic.

Even if we have only 10 top-grade/commercial apps at launch, I'll be happy with that.*
So long is the inbuilt functionality impresses, which I suspect it will.
And there will almost certainly be many more free or lesser quality apps.

Oh that's great to hear, sounds like a useful app, may be one of my 1st purchases.
Assuming you're dev'ing via the commercial program, & not the community one. :D

Oh cool, so not flimsy and likely to break anytime soon!
As was suggested in Feb. as-to-why it couldn't be embraced by carriers.
Always thought that assertion was overly simplistic....

*but from what I've read, I'm quite certain there'll be more than that.

It's going to be a non-commercial release. But you're always welcome to donate:)

Only time will tell if the construction is sound.

It's the same construction used in the Nokia E7 which is really sturdy.
No way this was blocked by the carriers.

Probably has it already been said but flash support is available in Fennec! http://konttoristhoughts.blogspot.co...73851680035486

Re: Nokia N950 vs Nokia N9
 
^ No that's actually incorrect....
I doubt mozilla.og would pay the license for the signed NPAPI binary.

We need Nokia to pay the license for a signed binary for their customized Fennec.
This is what jolo is trying to convince management to do now.
