Re: FLOSS Weekly 54 podcast covers Maemo
 

Supposing this to be an accurate statement, rather than an uncorrected live-interview slip-up, it still doesn't mean a final release; a beta would seem to fit quite well, and be more inline with expected schedules. And that beta might or might not be demoed on final hardware.

I think an RX-51 announcement, and demo of a live unit running pre-release Maemo, is likely, but that statement doesn't really seem to confirm it to me.

I just listened the podcast and I also noted that the final "s" didn't sound, but I said 'months'.

... and now I also noticed that they never mentioned what the hell was I doing in a sauna. The call happened at midnight and that was the only place where I could talk loudly without waking up the kids. :)

It was turned off and I was not wearing the sauna dress code.

In Nokia offices all our teleconference meeting rooms double as saunas.

Here's the video, featuring an old version of LCARS Modern, running on chinook. Also demoed at length: Maemo bugs 3659 and 3678 (which are still present in Diablo). Quim added himself to the CC lists for both bugs following this interview, so hopefully they'll get fixed. :D

Re: FLOSS Weekly 54 podcast covers Maemo
 

i suspect they may well end up as "fixed in freemantle", given the kind of bugs that they are...

Texrat once mentioned giving a few people fully functional N800s that had been through testing--which including being baked in an oven. Someone else in these fora related a story of an N800 falling into the water during a fishing trip--and continuing to play audio during and after. These things are made by a cellphone manufacturer, remember, not some wimpy PC clone company.

funny enough, nokia phones was not known to be that reliable some years ago. at least here in norway...

Re: FLOSS Weekly 54 podcast covers Maemo
 

I don't know anything about their reliability, really. I was thinking more generally of all the "I dropped my cellphone in the toilet. It still works. I wish it didn't." stories I've heard.

i watched the show about an hour ago (in my bed, coffee in my other hand... my parents had newspapers in the old days), just came here to say i really liked it. it covered what maemo is all about. very well done. ;)
