MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

What do you want N 900 user, that we have a Maemo 5 or MeeGo 1.0 on your N 900???

Which of this two os you want on your device in future and why?

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

I have a déjà-vu

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

I don't like the look of the Intel Meego and don't want that on my N900. Of course I will install it as soon as it is available but I hope that Nokia shows its UI that will be flashier than Maemo and Intel Meego so I can permantly install it on my N900

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Meego will not be released officially for the N900...

So i think Maemo would be better choice

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

You're asking like we have a choice... we're doomed with maemo 5 forever, Maemo community will soon vanish and turn to MeeGo community.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

I think that Nokia will not do that, this is not fair for N900 owner, I am really satisfied with this device but would not like that Nokia do that.

Probably we can install a MeeGo 1.0 but I hope also that application create for MeeGo will work on N900 because I like a Maemo 5 too much. Just want from Nokia too support N900 a little more:rolleyes:

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

As long we have community gods like Titan we should be safe. If it turns out that Meego don't have support for n900 i think it should be fairly easy to port it. Also the Meego are going to be supported on many devices armel and x86 so i am sure it will be alright... with that said...

I will probably stay with Maemo or equivalent like Moebian (which are being worked on right now). I am a Debian fanboy and plan to stay like that. One of the main reasons for that is that Debian got the best community support..

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

And where's the proof of what you're saying?

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

why not? meego is two in one part maemo 6 and moblin 2.2.
my answer is yes
you can switch back at anytime

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

MeeGo will be released officially for the N900, since the N900 is the reference ARM hardware of the MeeGo project. See http://wiki.maemo.org/What_can_we_re...or_my_N900_.3F and related questions in that wiki page.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

After PR1.2, I think there won't be any firmware releases from Nokia in Maemo5.
It is a question of dividing resources, so they probably will consentrate fully on Meego after PR1.2. That is why it is not good to hurry with PR1.2 until all known bugs and design flaws are really fixed.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Maemo 5 users will have choices. Some of them will prefer to stay with Maemo 5 updates, some of them will prefer to jump to MeeGo updates (probably with different flavors to choose depending on your preferences).

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

That sounds very good (although Maemo5 is good) but will Meego come with the "default UI" or with "Nokia (Harmattan) UI (and Nokia applications)" ???

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

I can't really see the advantges with meego for n900(more than its funny with new stuff). Dont think meego will kick out maemo 5, at least not on my n900...New devices is another story. Just my take on this.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

I'm impressed by the amount of expert analysts in this thread, giving advice about the future without any hesitation... ;)

PR1.2 was frozen weeks ago when the SDK was released and we are hurrying as much as QA test results allow. MeeGo development has nothing to do with all this. See http://wiki.maemo.org/What_can_we_re...or_Maemo_5_.3F and related questions in that wiki page.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Both. There will be MeeGo releases by the MeGo project to everybody and MeeGo releases by Nokia for Nokia devices.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Both for the N900?

(Just to be clear :))

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

That's a positive development in Meego that I always welcome - choices and support (from Nokia).

I have seen the Zaurus die due to lack of support (not lack of choices though) and I am glad Nokia is taking this path to wider acceptance of Maemo/Meego by going this dual route.

And I am glad to hear that Meego will be supported on the N900. All these contrary 'expect analysis' (read rumours and innuendos) flying left and right was getting the better of me in these forums.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Definitively Maemo 5 for N900.
The user-interface rocks. What are they ever going to improve about that? :confused:
Intel as as strategical partner is going to influence that for the better? Not so sure.
Bring new and plenty of icons on your MeeGo desktop: most likely.

We may be looking another Android with wider focus that has functionality wise nothing to add to the platform of mobile phones/ or pocket-able computers.

Of course I will check out Meego when its value has been proven and sung upon.

But right now, concerning the N900 I have a feeling that Meego is going to break what is just about to be nicely fixed.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

i just hope you can somehow transfer all contacts, wallpapers and oder custom user-stuff to meego when installing it.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

And that's why reading wikis and digging deeper into details *cough* by performing a search *cough* will always result a happy face.. just like this: :)

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

I asked some "people" in Nokia, they told me it will not be released OFFICIALLY, instead it will be available to download in external firmware packages (like with windows mobile scene)
Believe it or not...its up to you

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Nokia wont do that , there are always more bugs...they will support N900 for at least two years. MeeGo 1.0 wont be as good as Maemo , also we still need Ovi Maps to work properly

I read couple of days ago that Nokia is going to release another Maemo device in summer.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

URI?
Source?

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Err... Qgil works for Nokia (community relations I think). Though I think your right in some way, it won't be supported officially (e.g. Ovi Maps or whatever)

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

both

because the n900 is just that awesome

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Harmattan/MeeGo no doubt.
To me Harmattan/MeeGo is just next version and clearly better than Maemo 5, but that will of course really seen with first device releases. Talking about Harmattan/MeeGo.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

You do understand that Quim Gil (qgil) is a Nokia employee right? And not just any employee.. Read more about him and you will know that whatever he says, is true.. Believe it or not... it's up to you...

and @laughing man... Why wouldn't Ovi Maps not be supported?? The new Ovi maps afaik is going to be created under the QT framework.. and afaik MeeGo runs QT natively.. So what's the problem there?

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Depends if Nokia offers it on Ovi Store for free, or only bundles it with new Nokia devices running Meego.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

How can you expect people to choose between an available OS and one still in the making?
You should ask the same question in 6-12 months ;)

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

question is, will Meego on n900 run apps like picodrive,snes, facebrick, fmms etc? or will they have to be remade in Qt?

future is bright future is........

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

As you can see a few days ago we are able to seen some picture and specification of MeeGo os which will be on handheld probably in June, and when we can install on our device...

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

i say anything that works and supported. lets leave it to nokia to decide how to call it and which one it would be. the important thing as i said are support and stability

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Yes, too early to decide either way.

If Meego is better some day for my uses, I swich to it. If not, I probably boot time to time either one from the boot menu to test where Meego is going. If most of the programs now available in extras and testing are not somehow able to be ported to Meego, I probably won't like Meego very much.

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

I am sure they can be run on MeeGo, but those apps might need some tweaks here and there to make them work.. one of them would be the packaging (from deb to rpm)..

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

That appears to sum up the overall sentiment. But I would add "avoids or reduces confusion". :D

(poll needs an "either one" option)

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

what either option do you want? And how change a poll?

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

Harmattan/MeeGo still uses deb, right?

Re: MeeGo 1.0 or Maemo 5
 

definately not MeeGo 1.0 lol.. why? Version 1.0 is also the buggiest point of OS. I'll take my bet on it. Version 1.1 is the safest bet.

Its not 100% but its possible. I think we all agree that not too many people gonna spend 500+ on a phone:D so if they release budget Maemo it might help to make it more popular
