Once they release the meego-device, i'd like the community to bug the hell out of nokia to release GPU drivers and push rx-51 code upstream.

9. Will it support Adobe AIR?
Support of this feature for N900 is not planned.
That made me a bit worry. Since first device running Experimental Flash 10.1 7 months ago presented by Kevin Lynch was N900.

And it's clear Flash 10.1 goes mobile with Air 2.0.
Something stinks here....

The most important advantage of Maemo and MeeGo, in my opinion, and I think you will agree with me, is the openness of the OS.It is a very unusual approach to the telecom industry and we are very pleased to see that it's already gives profit - the number of applications for Maemo is constantly growing, evolving platform, and I hope the transition to MeeGo will also proceed well and MeeGo-community will be even more active. I would like to thank our readers for this activity.
Well... the community cannot modify the phone stack and other important parts, so I cannot see all that advantage.
I really hope that meego will be different, but as the guy used maemo and meego togheter I have the doubt that meego will be as "open" as meego :(

Anyway is very sad to read all that, but more that sad it's absourd, the correct answer should be:

"be patient! we are working to create the best user experience for customers and money for us!, the n900 and future devices will be meego x.y upgradable (until the os will be too weight to be resonable), to consolidate existing community, gain new customers and above all have a common market to attract developers"

At least he didn't tell us he was planning on remotely turning off our SW if he wanted to be a Jobs about it.

Hm, I am not a nay sayer, but I do not think that this interview is in any way helpful to Nokia. It does unfortunately support the current "not quite finished product" reality by being consistent with it and sounding like "...and never will be finished, since we lacked clear vision for this product. Tough luck."

Authorized dealers, my ***. $500 vs $800, doesn't it make "some" difference to avoid "authorized dealers"?

Service? Is there something worse than Nokia "official" service? *Anything* would be better.

We already have them, they're on every N900 that ships today. We will not get the source unless you can convince Imagination Technologies (http://www.imgtec.com/) that they should release the source code.

IIRC, this is part of the MeeGo goals.

That's Adobe's boat to sail, really.

MeeGo's phone stack is oFono, which Jebba already got working on the N900 while it was booted into RedHat.

Also, the music player, for fast switching of songs on the go. But the browser?
Web browsing on mobiles is actually now more ubiquitous than browsing on the desktop. This experience has been largely from a portrait orientation, and the users accustomed to it are numerous. Devices like the iPhone, N95, Blackberry Storm, Touch Diamond, Droid Eris, and N97 are all big sellers, and probably one of the top features of each is portrait web browsing.

i'm getting sick and tired of all these people who buy a phone without java-support, without portrait-mode in the main UI, without MMS or video calls, without voice dialing etc etc - and then expect it would grow these features magically overnight while in the drawer. and complain if it doesn't.

if you need a phone with java support, buy one. if you buy one without, it was you who made the decision.
