What is this 5 stage plan? Never heard of it. Can anyone inform me?

I'm sure google will turn up something for you, but it's basically just Nokia's plan to get maemo to the mainstream.

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
 

yes... Google is my friend. :)
Oh, happy new year everybuggy!

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
 

As techie / marketing fella.. I think we would reasonably see the following:

1. Change to MicroSDHC slot (likely only one)
2. 8GB internal memory (or whatever is the current trendy number)
3. Sliding keyboard will stay (possibly tilt)
4. GPS will stay (Nokia owns Navteq after all)
5. Support for the latest Wifi option as practical (cost consideration)
6. Improved webcam (2MP)
* Sorry the tablet will never be marketed as a camera replacement.. how can it when 10MP cameras sell for under $200 these days.

7. FM added again
8. Peripheral connector for docking, TV Out
9. More tied in promotions with online media providers
10. Out of the box advertising and promotion of media features
11. Build to order / customizations for mobile providers, including possibly cellular features.

Its plausable if they have enough faith to release more than one maemo based product.. covering consumer (media/web) and prosumer hobbyist groups if there is any considerable costs for certain option features (GPS, keyboard, etc).


----------

Features I would personally like to see added / restored:

1. Two SDHC card slots (full size preferred).. doubt this will happen - thats why I grabbed the N800!

2. Rotating camera (at least 2MP - whatever is most cost effective), better lighting visibility.

3. A Cellular option model - would be nice to only carry and worry about one device. I would use a bluetooth headset to answer..

4. TV Out

5. IRD (IRD, TV Out, docking, etc, possibly through a peripheral connector)

6. FM (dongle as an option and not mandatory duh!)
* Built in FM transmission would also be cool - tablet to tablet radios, FM to car speakers :)

7. Slide out and tilt keyboard (hard keys good for on the go messaging and gaming!)

8. Buttons on the top left and right

9. Charging through USB option

10. Wider battery options

11. Bluetooth PAN, and Wifi Ad-hoc support (tablet to tablet)

12. Switch to x86 processors (never will happen due to energy/efficiency and cost considerations).. would be great to use vmware and run other OSes.. even if slowly.. * Key thing is though it will sort of reboot development efforts.. till will make it easier to port existing x86 based linux stuff (ala EeePC)..

Is it my n810? :D

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
 

Do you mean soon? Like end of CES soon? Or just until you have had enough of taunting us soon?:confused::D

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
 

Yes, Nokia's production schedule is based on Texrat being able to get his fill of taunting us ;)
