Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

I dont know if you guys observed this...

"13:00 Lunch - Maemo 5 Experience Area opens"

I would assume that is the launch date. If they launch before that..... why would the call it 'experience'

Anyway that is me....

Some one say something..... i see ragnar and mara enjoying this :)

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

The date you're looking is more likely to be September 2th: http://events.nokia.com/nokiaworld/

Of course this date it's a simple personal bet.

I like this even better!

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

Sounds possible. But what about the "Maemo 5 experience"
As of now there is only one maemo 5 and that is fremantle. What would be there to 'experience' if we already have the device?

May be it will be announced at nokia world and released on October 9th!

Makes perfect sense!

That sounds like an area at the Summit location where Maemo 5 technologies, UIs etc (maybe even devices) will be showcased. If anything, I would take it to mean that devices will not have been launched to market by then.

I don't see anything remotely maemo-related on the Agenda there...

Maybe the just misspelt Launch as Lunch ... :p

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

After being fed rumours and innuendo's about the new device and all the stomach churning brouhaha about it being a phone or not, I am ready for some Lunch. And t fits right into my hungry 1 (13 hrs) clock time. :D

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

Sounds like simple marketing speak to me. It can ACTUALLY mean nothing and sound like a frikkin' "experience".

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

For me it would also make sense to discuss the Maemo 5 experience a while after the devices have been out for a while an people have had time to use them and - you know, gather the experience. Anyway, at that point the new tablet(s) must be out.

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

Indeed. If the Devices arent out some time before the summit, the summit itself wouldn't make much sense.

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

We didn't say that last year!

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

The Summit last year was focusing on the beginning of development of Maemo 5, just as the Summit this year should be focusing on Harmattan.

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

October! I am patient, and it does seem like a great device etc. but it's wearing thin as I am sure so is many other peoples'. I am hoping we hear something this month, otherwise I'll have to start looking elsewear.

Maybe it will come bundled with duke nukem forever ;-)

Funny coincidence... I was watching Paddington Bear with my son this morning. It was the episode wear Paddington mistakenly boards a rocket that is about to launch. Anyway, before that all happens, one of the characters mentions that they'd all get a tour of the facilities after "launch." Of course, Paddington hears it as "after lunch."

Oh, the life of a dad...

It had better :P

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

Oh, sorry, that's a typo. It should be "Maemo 5 Experience Arena opens".

The idea is similar to chess boxing, but with up to eight simultaneous competitors and alternating rounds of Maemo application or platform programming and steel cage battle using iPod Touches on short lengths of chain. The winning community member reaps the karma of the losers and moves on to the next match.

If there is any credence to this report - maybe we will have a Android Nokia phone rather than a Maemo Nokia phone earlier...

I cant believe this though.

a hoax....

Windows 7 final is due out Oct 22, which might get some media attention. But before that, a release from Nokia might have a few weeks to bask in the limelight. Or not.

Re: Is the maemo 5 device going to be released on Friday, October 9th?
 

I think that date is pretty much it. I also remember while talking about this years summit plans, Quim mentioning about some sort of NDA to a bunch of developers regarding the release date. Now why would he say that if the release date was before the summit? So the only option would be that the rover is going to be released on or after October 9th.

I tried searching for that post from quim.. but could not find it.
But i assume that nokia will announce maemo 5 at the September event and create some buzz..

So is the pandora going to be released before that?
