Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

All references have been the application framework and QT which we all know about which you can say is part of Meego, but isn't the core OS or services of Meego. Listen again to what he says at 18:14-18:52 where the specific question about the N900 is raised not just alluded to and he says that "going forward" new apps (QT) will be forward compatible.

@maxximuscool
you are totally right man ! i mean what a disappiontment it will be for those waiting for meego if they dont get it ! but at the same time it will be great for those who are not expecting it to get it ! its really best to enjoy the moment as it is now and leave the future for the future !

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

well the future is meego os for n900

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

I don't think you should expect Meego on N900, and I don't think it matters much. What matters is that it will be pretty easy to write apps that work on both Maemo 5 and Meego.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

I think we have a better chance of MeeGo than Harmattan.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Let's say Maemo 5 would have been the last OS ever build for phones. Everyone would have been happy with their N900 untill the keyboard would not show any letters anymore.

But as soon as someone talks about MeeGo everybody thinks they have a right to a new OS!

To me it like when I got married. It's for bether and worse and let me tell you the longer you are married the better it gets.

The N900 has many time been referred as "my baby" maybe you should start thinking about it as "my wife".

And just because there are younger models around does not make your wife less attraktive ;-)

So enjoy your N900. Stop the could have, would have, should have. You made a decition to buy the phone based on what it delivers.

If you have bought the phone on what it might deliver you were speculating and like on wall street you took a risk.

I am very happy with my N900 - AND THATS A FACT!

No, I think you are wrong about this. As long as Nokia keeps supporting the old OS and make it solid after a couple years then I am a loyal happy customer. Nokia has been too quickly to drop supporting; i.e. N810 after 2 years?

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Aren't they the same?? I thought Maemo 6 is Meego..

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

No... Maemo 6 will be compatible with MeeGo.. but it is not MeeGo.

IIRC.. Maemo 6 will still use Deb.. MeeGo uses RPM.

They've already done too much work on Harmattan to stop and start over.. so if my understanding is accurate - they are merely working to make sure Harmattan is compatible with MeeGo at an API level.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

there will be one or both will be availiable on the nokia n900 the videos is in fact saying that it will be getting meego os
maemo 6 dont know???????
