Also, what the heck is intel up to? their only asset is x86 technology! why are they investing in creating an open, portable platform that would be architecture-independent? as soon as people have the free choice of architecture for running their software, intel will be crunched by ARM.
Intel chips really are a lot more powerfull than ARM currently.
Different markets: Intel and ARM.

I see to hardware manofacturers that need to sell devices.

Fortunately we have the great community behind Maemo, but I don't see any roadmap from Nokia to the N900.

Re: Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo
 
So the "Flagship" device I shelled out for not even a month ago and that was released only 2-3 months ago ALREADY has an OS that is unlikely to ever be updated again?

I knew I was taking a risk in buying an early adopters piece of hardware / OS but this is ridiculous.

and more power hungry.

I notice the device on the front page of MeeGo.com is an n900... This must say something no?

That's fantastic news! :-)

Still digesting, however an obvious question is what's going to happen packaging-wise (what with Maemo being based on Debian and Moblin on Fedora).

First Meego prototype doesn't have industrial design yet?

For <deity>'s sake, can you make a "Will N900 get MeeGo?" thread so this can be used to discuss the new platform and implications to Maemo, Moblin and mobile open source in general?

No, on a performance-per-watt scale, definitely not.
ARM has shown omap4 prototypes, multicore and clocked above 1ghz, that can happily run with less than a watt an still beat the living crap out of any atom processor.

Re: Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo
 
I wanted Nokia to build and concentrate on one project, Maemo. Following the conference on engadget, what this news seems to confirm for me is that Nokia will continue to get behind Symbian as the flagship phone OS, MeeGo smacks of a side project. I really can't see anything good coming out of this from a Nokia phone user's point of view, but I'll be happy to eat a large serving of crow in a few months time :rolleyes:
