Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles
XNA on the WP is not the same as general XNA - a lot of functionality is missing, and there are some non-general API layers for the Metro tie-in. That's why I said - the ones willing to go down that route.
Tho the numbers don't really matter, a good programmer will master a new API or even a whole new programming language in relatively short time. Script kiddies won't, but I don't think that their apps is what the world is craving for. While there might well be more Qt devs than the ones suitable to develop for WP, after the Feb'11 announcement I doubt many of them would use their knowledge to develop mobile apps... So, not all is in numbers... P.S. Mono lineage is almost dead (interest-wise), tho the Silverlight was an abortion as well until they forced it onto WP... |

Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles
At least here in germany more and more shops are selling the Nokia N9. Only very few for a high price, but at least this fact is a success in a country where is absolutly no advertising made for the N9 but a bunch of expensive for the Lumia 800.
They are selling those devices not without a reason. They are selling it because there is a demand for the best mobile Nokia has ever made. Not everyone wants a iPhone clone. But many wants a option to Android! |

Even after more than a year WP7 is nowhere. You were still wrong with your "2 years". May be you should learn how to read a graph. Edit: You sound like a Microsoft evangelist (troll), plugging msft products. |

On the app-level, even in the most basic multithreading, if you are running on a multicore processor the threads are automatically going to get divided by the processor to run on seperate cores, you dont have to do anything to tell the processor how to share the load. And you even have those apis which you can use if you want to specify which core a particular thread should execute on, but I think from a phone's perspective that will be a rarely used scenerio. As I understand (never programmed for ios), ios actually has stuff programmed in it to stop stuff from running at the same time to give a smooth user experience. They have special APIs that the programmer can use to tell the OS "hey i'm doing some special stuff in this method and please keep it running (even if at low priority) when this app goes background". Android must have such stuff in it too (not sure), specially coded to give a smooth user experience, but way better then ios i'm sure. (Although, seperate discussion, my friends were showing me their multicore android devices, was some lg phone dual core 1ghz, they had custom roms loaded, and the 3d desktop lagged a lot. Again, seperate discussion.) Now when you talk about meego-harmattan however, as I understand (I have never used N9) there is nothing preventing one application to execute its code regardless of what any other app maybe doing. You dont have to code harmattan UI/UX to support multithreading for, say, notes/some-irc-app/gpodder/leafpad/some-console-app/multiple-web-pages/calendar/conversations-im-sending-recieving-messages etc etc to be able to work all at the same time. For all I know, even today in 2012, harmattan-meego is the best platform to utilize multicores. Period. |

I think microsoft(ballmer and Elop) and nokia planed the windows mess back in 2008 and Elop planted Ossipena as a mole back then. This plot goes deeper and deeper...

Let's get some perspective. Europe is WP7's best market. Despite huge promotion and incentives and banning N9 from competing with WP7 it only sold a dismal million units if Elop is to be believed. N8 with a sunset Symbian os sold 4 million in its first quarter. Lumia will have a harder time outside Europe as the rest of the world doesn't care about WP7. Overall WP7 has a global share of less than 1%. Slapping a Nokia label on a WP7 phone isn't going to make any difference. There is no hardware, software or price breakthrough in the Lumia. Why should users start loving WP7 just because of the Nokia name? As a brand name Nokia is not even cool or trendy. It is like what Volvo is to cars - dependable but boring. I expect Lumia sales to be depressed outside Europe including the U.S. Maybe Nokia can sell a few million a quarter overall. In 2 quarters Nokia will be on its knees looking for a white knight to save it. |

Looks like our "friend" is chucking serious amounts of petrol on the Symbian bonfire. An article just published on The Register reports that Nokia are accelerating the Symbian rundown.
Question I have is whether this is cos symbian aint selling, or that the Lumias arent selling and the few people buying Nokia hardware are buying Symbian, so by killing it off it reduces choice for those punters and the hope is that they will buy lumias instead. |

Technical details aside of what's underlying Harmattan, I'm saying until it does exist, we're just hoping. And yes - for the record - I know that WP7 doesn't support multi-cores in its current iteration fully. And it's definitely evident via |
Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles
...of course sales are falling ALSO because you idi*t announced that Symbian will vanish. Anyone in for creating a voodoo doll for the community?

i started calling m@ke$$h!t LostDOS... m@ke$$h!t LostDOS twenty years ago (started working with OS/2 back then; was a co-development between m$ & IBM for version 1.x before m$ went NoTech but still, it clearly showed how crappy windoooooz always was; and will be...) putting their crap on a mobile phone is even more ridiculous then trying to use it as a server OS :mad: or for anything else, for that matter :rolleyes: but hey, it's a free world, right? to hedge off the idiotic remarks about OS/2... the last OS/2 servers used @ IBM as LAN & print server had a track record of uninterrupted availability extending into hundreds of days whereas... a weekly reboot is required by m@ke$$h!t for their crap 'cuz of their lousy (patch) dev skills i started playing around with GNU/Linux a couple years later until i finally switched to openSUSE ½ a dozen years ago (v!$t0, anyone?) still kept a crappy copy of LD, 1st to update the N95 & now my navigation system :( for all i care ma@k$$h!t can go to hell let's hope NOKIA comes to its mind & kicks the m0r0n out before it's too late :mad: |

I think that Nokia is holding back phones with better hardware running meego because that would compete with WP phones. Flop and Ollila is giving away customers to iOS and Android. If they wanted they could do a 720p, 1.5 GHz dual core with meego and selling it for same price as iPhone |

is it on multi-core hardware right now? is it on a dual core 1.5ghz processor? right now? without the above, it's speculation. period. people judiciously overlook that one statement I'm making right now. And before anybody has a stereotypical reaction - it means that it's not something that exist, in a purchase-able condition right now. that is all. thank you for the link, btw. that does do more to educate me in the area(s) of Qt. just the facts ma'am |
