Re: Maemo and Mobiln to align, possibly merge?
 

Unfortunately the extremes of the UIs makes this slightly less than workable in most cases.

i think all we can do is wait and see what happens
i really cant see intel making these claims publicly without some long term stratedgey to make it happen with nokia

Re: Maemo and Mobiln to align, possibly merge?
 

Bothj compaines have long since signed/announced a partnership where they wouls work to standarize on elements used with Maemo and Moblin; plus they already work on the ofono phone stack. Merging makes less sense then since its only wiring and plumbing to be standarized, IP can keep the platforms targeted and relevent as already posted about.

For some reason, MS and Intel get a bad rap around here. As if they made the first tablets and set Maemo back a good deal. Just somethingI've noticed.

Are you saying the limitations of porting apps from a finger only interface to a mouse dominated one would be difficult? Or is that not what you're saying? I thought porting to Windows wasn't that hard for Qt apps. Why would Moblin be hard?

Re: Maemo and Mobiln to align, possibly merge?
 

Running them isn't the issue, it's using a UI which is intended for an entirely different interface that's the issue. For the same reason Open Office doesn't work well on the tablets.

OH, ok, now I feel you. Each app would still need a custom UI to fit the new environment.
