Yes, I agree, and when will OS/2 ever run Win32 applications!!!

On a more serious note, I wouldn't buy a phone for its ability to run Android apps, but _some_ things would be useful, luckily most of them are probably just simple apps. Some examples: airlines that can't be bothered to create an application for anything that isn't iOS/Android, certain retail stores with applications with cool features, certian gadgets that have an optional application and you want that cool feature. Hopefully, all pretty simple stuff, then you leave the native applications for the grown ups.

there is demand for non-camera Jolla(or other manufacturers) phone, especially in Singapore. will Jolla makes one for this market?

Presumably you expect a _cheaper_ phone as a result of it not having a camera - question is, how much cheaper?

If that's not the case, why wouldn't you want a camera? If you really don't want one, get a second half without a lens hole and off you go.

Also, you may want to ask Jolla themselves on Twitter or similar - my guess is that they won't do that right now.

Only reason for not wanting camera I can think of is your job demanding not to have one. Or is there something else?
Price wise I can't see it making any difference as it mostly just brings added costs on manufacturing as long as the demand is limited.

You also got a think does Jolla even wanna release phone without camera. It's a important sensor and Jolla might wanna see its phones having some kind of hardware parity, so they all start from the same page, and see that all of their work around software related to camera ends to all of their phones.

Realy? Realy is information "Java Yes, via Java MIDP emulator" right ? gsmarena have too many wrong param ..

Tizen ? LOL.
We may debate about this after one year. And be good in this time to know sum of Jolla and Tizen smartphones. :)

Wow. For what kind of sample rate (and spectral resolution) could a 6502 compute FFTs in real time? I needed a DSP back "in the day" to analyze ~15 kHz wide signal, and I could only get 256 bin resolution at that. Stone knives and bear skins, practically. (And really, I wasn't even doing "real" real-time, since in actuality I was just grabbing the middle of every fourth sweep of an FM-CW RADAR baseband output.)

The Maemo tuner is a general purpose chromatic tuner, rather than a guitar tuner. So it could (presumably) be used for winds and strings, etc.

Also, Afinatron seems to be gone from the Nokia Store, or at least not available in my area. And Guitar Tuner for Harmattan v. 1.3.1 has DNS bug, while v. 1.3 seems a little buggy -- and it looks like development for this platform has stopped. :(

It was real bad just as you guessed :)

I had an MPF-II, my first computer back then (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprofessor_II) which was pretty decent plaything but not any powerhouse. 1MHz 6502, 64KB DRAM.
It had ROM BASIC but to get anything of value out from it you had to code in 65xx-ML. The really nice thing in it (which was better than in Commodore-64 IMHO) was that it had also disassembler and hex editor in ROM.
Mind you, only disassembler, no ASM compiler. What it practiaclly meant, I coded in ASM on pencil & notepad, and then compiled it by hand to ML which then I wrote down in hexedit.

I recently found a stack of my old notepads from my parent's house, (the type used generally in schools, with the squary blue backgrounds) filled with ASM->ML code... Boy it took time to code simple routines that way :D

But back to the FFT thingy; I experimented with sonar, the computer generated an audio signal and got input via microphone (really simple setup on MPF-II, really just a 1-bit oversampling digitizer driven by SW).
All processing was done in the same loop as the sampling and sending as there was no real multitasking on the device.
I don't remember what the sample rate was, but it was well in the upper audible range, over 10khz anyway. Accuracy was crap but it did work as a proof of concept and boy was I proud of it :cool:
