Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 
I get the impression that the underlying OS version will not actually matter that much. Maemo 6 looked to mainly be a progression of Maemo 5, so I'd assume that if you are using the same libraries for your application, it's likely it will work on both Maemo 5 and 6/MeeGo.

They said the target platforms for MeeGo are ARM and x86/Atom. So it's entirely possible that any ARM binaries/applications will work on on both Maemo 5 and MeeGo if they are written for a common toolkit (QT).

Look at most Linux distributions, Ubuntu 8 applications don't just stop working because Ubuntu 9 is out, aslong as the userland toolkits (gtk/qt) are up to date it should 'just work'.

The problems will come with updated hardware features that should be taken care of by the app developer. If its a bonus feature, use it or enable reduced functionality if its not there.

I'd be very pleased if they push MeeGo to the N900 but if not, I don't think its much to panic about.

i'm not yet convinced that freemantle development won't wither on the vine once nokia marketing goes beserk on "step-five-of-five" the messiah has landed edition.

i appreciate that QT makes stuff easily portable, but if apps rolled for harmatton/meego won't install and run by default on my freemantle n900, at the tap of a button, then when you have written simply does not fly.

Why a great software house should develop something for N900 if it is the only terminal with Maemo 5 and without multitouch of Maemo 6?

Sorry for my English.

Office editor: Abiword? Debian+Open Office? They do fine for me!

Street navigator: Navit perhaps?

Office Editor... Abiword is not optized (so I read)
Debian+open office? Do you think is optimized for our device? Open file directly from email?

I was referring to software write specifically for N900.

Does not sound like an official meego port to the n900.

You can't really demand inprovement. Yes, I hope we do get updates still for the N900 (I love mine).
Ya ya....I know that when I took out of the box my N900 it started to get outdated...but it's just 2 months ago...I want just only an upgrade to the software not something special...It's a basic thing after 2 months....

lets make a deal. you can whine all you want if sw updates to n900 stop appearing before 12 months from release date, approx week 50/2010. but please don't whine beforehand.

I'm not complaining...I'm just hoping that mother Nokia will upgrade our loved device to this "Meego"...and I think that so...but it's a very important crossroads for my loyalty to Nokia...

You can be convinced. Nobody will wait until MeeGo enter the stage because main guidelines are clear for a long time.
On the other hand you write as if Nokia has completely dropped support for N900 already. It's not right, I think. Let's wait.
