(dont know if anyone has posted this already, didnt find it)

So Dualboot is going to be implemented in 1.3 to support MeeGo. Good think, sounds as if our little magic device will somehow be supported by MeeGo. Still no built-in Deathray, though.

Who knows. Probably chips manufactures and subcontractors. Maybe maximuscool wishes that those parties have weak moment and they give Nokia permission to release their drivers as OS.

Or maybe not. :|

There is one third party closed driver (SGX), the rest of the closed code (which is most of maemo 5) is code by Nokia which is closed by Nokia decision.

Just to show you how stupid this claim that Nokia wants stuff open, but is forced to close by third parties:

770 - Nokia power chips - closed BME - can't be replaced.
N800 - Nokia power chips - closed BME - can't be replaced.
N810 - Nokia power chips - closed BME - can't be replaced.
N900 - TI power chips - closed BME - can be replaced, because we have all the needed information.

See the difference between Nokia and third parties?

In Nokias limp defense, they did say this device and OS were a stepping stone.

The irony is all they had to do was release Flash 10.1 and a lot of the other accumulating issues would be forgotten. How hard world that have been?

Nokia always behind competitors in term of OS and hardware. Usually Nokia selling an underpowered device at higher price or equally the same as the competitors.

Eg: N97-mini is the same price as NexusOne and almost the same as Iphone4.

Specs wise Nokia got a lot of small pieces in one package but high spec wise Nokia have ARM11 and low RAM.

Not sure if N9 is going to be over the competitors when we are talking about specs and OS here. Also supporting the device may be the biggest part. Apple has world wide warranty, Droid I don't know, but Nokia is country wise warranty.

N9 will be a undoubtedly expensive and the hardware will not surpassing any devices released in the same year. Question is should we still trust in Nokia to be the early adopter of MeeGO? From Maemo5 point of view (early adopter), it left a big Question mark on my forehead.

Hmm... A8 Processor... Hmm..."?"

Thank Matan for the infor. OpenSource Device.. Opensource OS but yet closed Apps and Drivers lol. How is that Opened according to GNU? Nokia is very silly. Not much we can do. Got to live with the controlled environment.

I'm very glad like everyone else here in this thread about the news of MeeGo at N900. The N900 is the best device they've ever made.

However, one thing confuses me a bit, what way is Nokia going to take when they now have both Symbian 3 and MeeGo. Are they going to divide their phones in two segments, where some get Symbian, and some get MeeGo. Isn't that somewhat confusing on their market focus, especially since they should keep themselves strong in the competition, iOS, Android and now Windows Mobile 7.
I'm curious about what strategy they have in mind.
