IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

MeeGo handset will be releaed on 2011H1.

It is too late !

At that time, iOS and Android will be even stronger.

Plus, WP7 will also rises.

WebOS and BlackBerry OS will be the supporting role on smartphone market in the future.


Back to MeeGo,
The corpration between NOKIA and INTEL is not that good.

NOKIA will not open their UI on N9 to INTEL, and INTEL only want to sell x86 CPUs. Supporting ARM is just to get NOKIA involved.

x86 MeeGo phone will release on 2011Q4.
There will be no chance at that time.

Intel do not need MeeGo necessarily.
It welcome Apple to use x86 CPU.

The only result I can see now is ofono and connman.

IMO,
NOKIA is now struggling, but will not be a main game player in the future on smartphone market.

Symbian is not good enough, MeeGo is too slow, I cannot see any hope.

I don't know a smartphone running Maemo... And I don't think MeeGo is for smartphones, either.

Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

How can it be toooo late when you don't know anything about it?how it looks...how it feels...what it can do and not do.

wait and see.

But you can be right, meego might not be for you. But its other people out there :)

Please dont be kidding with me, buddy
MeeGo has a handset edtion, don't you know ?
N9 is not a smartphone ?

Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

Its my predict based on the info I got till now.

There will be people like MeeGo, but just few.
Not popular and successful on consumer market,
like Maemo now.

Re: IMO, MeeGo will be a tragedy on smartphone market like Maemo!
 

I actually can't say that for sure... But MeeGo is also for N900... And as N9 ain't out, we can only talk about devices like N900 which are going to have MeeGo soon.
But said MeeGo will be a tragedy like Maemo... So you said Maemo is for smartphones... While it's not!:) (Wish I had quoted)

Anyway... Nokia might not be very good in smartphone market, but its tablets are the best... Neither Apple, nor Blackberry has managed to make something like that, or even something similar.

Instead of talking about Nokia, you'd better talk about devices... I don't like Nokia very much, but I love N900... You should look at it this way.

Correction, Optima OP5-E is running Maemo :

And Meego will be like Skynet, you will find Meego everywhere, then the end of the world is coming soon :D

Before Moblin ( now Meego) move to RPM-based system, I have subscribed their mailing list and tested their development tool like Moblin Image Creator. It is an excellent development tool , you could tailor made a Linux distribution for specific device easily.

However, they missed an powerful IDE development environment. Ofcoz Linux developers are comfortable , but Windows developers will be very difficult to get started.

So I am not surprise that Intel cooperates with Nokia , as they have Qt and Qt Creator. However, I have no idea why Nokia agree the cooperation and deprecate Maemo.

erm, won't comment on IOS, because its flaws are well known and have already been debated to death. If you're a member of this forum, you've already read it somewhere. As for android, i'm not too impressed by it either. yes its linux kernel based, but with just a lotta java stuff thrown on top, also it too has its stability issues, as i have found. Now WP7 is just getting started and if the way the os is setup to run is indication, it'll just be a competitor for iFools. There isn't anything quite like meego/maemo, and i'm perfectly fine not having a commercially successful OS on my phone, since i care more about its functionality for me versus, whether i see everyone running around with one. I don't necessarily see meego as being a failure unless the competitors you mentioned fix the glaring issue within their own OS's ( lack of multitasking, openess to system customization, crappy widget support, etc ) If they haven't got their act together by the time meego is launched, it could well give it to them hard where the sun doesn't shine.

While my n900 has flaws, none are truly major for me personally. of course i have a small wish that it had more nifty 3d games, but since i have a psp, i'm not really bothered.

totally a non-issue with me. most consumers, wouldn't know how to fully utilize a device like the n900, and thats fine with me.
