Re: Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo
 

I'm sure it was simply because the N900 was the most viable example. Don't read too much into that picture.

Re: Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo
 

Maybe, and I understand those who say the community couldn't have done worse than MeeGo. But seeing from the corporate side, it's hard to imagine this happening. What if the community came up with a name & the corporations didn't like it? Lots of hard feelings. If they're going to be putting big dollars behind a brand, they need to own that important decision.

Plus, consider the practical issues:
1. Would the name discussion occur in the open? If so, the name could be stolen. And imagine the cybersquatting opportunity.
2. Any name chosen would have to be checked for how it sounds in various languages. Would the community do this? Domain name checks?

The end of Maemo (5)??? WTF!!!!
 

Can someone clarify this information ????

Re: The end of Maemo (5)??? WTF!!!!
 

The article mixes up scrapping the Maemo name with scrapping Maemo. Meego "Maemo 6" is going to be an instance of Meego 1.0

Re: The end of Maemo (5)??? WTF!!!!
 

I don't see this being any other different that what we already know. It does not say anything in one or the other way, except that Maemo5 won't run on other devices. Which is hardly a surprise. It also does not say Maemo5 is dead, please see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46187 for saner information.

if this is absolute, this is like the n97, within months, a "mini" successor came up, then another phone, including the n900,

now its the n900 then within months, Meego :D

Re: Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo
 

well the holder of N900 is probably the future Meego customer!!!

Re: Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo
 

You know...I was tooling around the intertubes today, looking at phone specs and what not, and I realized that the n97 mini is pretty much the same phone as the x6. They appear to have the same processor (Arm 11, 434Mhz), same amount of RAM (128MB), same screen size (3.2 inches) and resolution, though one is capacitive the other is resistive, same camera resolution (5MP). The only differences that I could pick out, are the built in memory (8GB vs 16 or 32GB), the keyboard or lack of keyboard on the x6, and the battery size. Even the dimensions are very close. I makes me hope....that there'll be a keyboarded and keyboard-less version of what's next.

Let's hope developers & Nokia get it right now and we can get a competitor for iPhone & Android
