Re: N900 Current State.

I'm trying very hard to pretend my N900 is nicer than my friends Desire and failing miserably

she showed me a fab app yesterday that shows whats on at the local cinema and the best I could come up with was my weather widget..........

I then said mine is different as its meant to be an internet tablet, and she said yeah hers is some sort of internet slab thing too
and hers is gorgeous and bronze!

Well...why need an app when you have such a powerful browser. Next time, type "movie Brighton" in the address bar and you'll get the same thing.

Although the scope is very general, and the last part of the above quote a little dramatic, this is a good thread topic and I'll unlikely do it justice. Unfortunately, the audience I perceive it was inviting to respond doesn't seem to be representing much, and I can't blame them. But I'll weigh in my 2 cents anyway. [Arrogant, I know, it's just my way with a topic like this.]

Do you see an interesting percentage of the good developers complaining? The only thing I see them really b*itching about is the cluster f*ck of having the build machines upgraded to 1.2. And rightly so. Other than that it's business as usual.

This is a long race, Nokia and others that similarly embrace open source are the tortoise, and developers that gravitate towards such things don't let the rabbits bother them.
