Actually, that screen/human body part scale disrepancy inspired me to do a littlescreen scalability analysys, which Nokia probably did X years ago :)

How did WMA make it on the list and OGG didn't?

In the real world, WMA is much more common than OGG. And N900 will target the real world. And I am sure the community can add OGG support to MAFW anyway.

I believe it's far more of a legal/corporate thing than an actual technical choice.

28^2 is power of 28 and not power of 2.

2^9 = 512
2^10 = 1024

Anyway, I've been really excited about N900 since I saw the launch videos yesterday. Time to try little programming with the beta SDK. :)

Ah my fault!
You're right... it's friday...

So everything I said about checksums and error detection is just crap :)

I still think the chip is there. They wouldn't have written about it.
But we'll see soon.

I saw it on the youtube video (interaction documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP5R-5NX1BE ), and pretty apparent just a few seconds into the video when showing the multiple home screens.

Yes, I saw that too yesterday. Maybe a newer Epson chip? :D

Yeah, but it's linux. You almost have to try and not support ogg out of the box. So far, I'm willing to bet a vast majority of current maemo users use OGG much more than AAC or WMA. It also took the community a while to get ogg support into OS2008 and it still has some issues. Not making a big deal out of it, I just don't see managements mindset on something so trivial. I hope Nokia higher ups force all the managers and engineers related to this product use a N900 every day. No other phone allowed.

yes, *current* Maemo users, but probably Nokia targets a broader audience with the N900.
And ogg support in Diablo worked fine for me, so I'm looking forward to get community-provided ogg support for Fremantle too.

I look forward to that as well, but I don't get it. Where's the legal issue with Ogg?
