Re: My letter to Jolla and what was wrong with Harmattan

DON'T make download limits to bought apps like Nokia Ovi store did! (and no.. this is not normal way to it and no, psn store don't do this, even someone think so. thei limited it by hardware. Like it should be.)

Dont make it too slim! It's always bad for battery capacity and it's more comfortable to hold on hand, if it's not too slim.

Re: My letter to Jolla and what was wrong with Harmattan

Most people think slim is ok. But battery is major issue. More you rely on "smart" battery saving tricks, higher is the probability that it will be drained by heavy load faster than you even notice that something went wrong and oops, you have a dead phone.

the Razr MAXX is a slim device....

One part of tracker is certainly an indexer, yes. Probably the better known part.

Tracker also offers a triple store[1], using RDF[2], interfaced with using SPARQL[3], which means it is also a data store, and is used as the storage for a number of things on Harmattan.

It's also used in Nemo Mobile for some things (gallery, messages, contacts), and will probably stay for the forseeable future. It has issues, but it's stable, and reasonably battle-tested, and replacing it isn't trivial.

I think there have been discussions about doing indexing a bit differently though (to avoid the more visible problems evidenced in Harmattan and Fremantle), but no concrete plans yet.

Indexing (in general, but particularly on Linux) is a bit of a non-trivial problem for various technical reasons that I really should write about one day. Suffice to say it's not an easy area to do really well right now.

Re: My letter to Jolla and what was wrong with Harmattan

Do you agree that the way it was implemented in Harmattan (one contact merge bug and everything just goes clusterfsck) is plain inacceptible?

I have the same exact problem AND the opposite problem. The capacititve screens seem to completely overreact. So if I just touch to move around the screens it opens a bunch of apps and goes into calendar and all kind of things.

Impossible!

Love the N900 screen, and have no idea what the hype about capacitive is all about. Stupid to compromise being able to use gloves and pen for pinching to zoom. Outright ridiculous and idiotic.
The zoom function was only necessary in the first place because they were so stupid to design the telephone to be used vertically.
And then they had to adapt that silly design for browsing the web, so that you have awful mobile version of websites and apps for doing things you would normally just do in the web browser.

Iphone sure managed to break your legs, build you a wheel chair and make you look ******ed all at the same time.

Can't someone just bring out Maemo 6. Move it over to GNU and QT and put it all on the N950 design with N900 utilities and Galaxy 3 hardware?

Ppppplease?

The next windowz device will be a vibrator with extra ram for Elop so he can enjoy his final days before a flash mob of Finnish public beats his ___ for ruining their countries income tax.
P.S. I paid a female in Denmark $100 to buy me an N9 and ship it to me so I got it despite Elop dorkwad failure trojan horse

Ooh, and dont forget that Microsoft desperately need Mobile hardware, so along with patent trolling, buying Nokia for Mobile hardware knowledge is also a good deal.

Ooh and yes, to finally crush the open/free community hopes for mobile platforms.
