Development for Maemo on the n900 would cease?

n900

On May 25 2010, Nokia announced that future development for Maemo on the n900 would cease, although support for the n900 continues with release 1.2 of Maemo 5, and there are no official plans to port future developments of MeeGo or Harmattan for upstream Nokia devices to the n900, so the future of the n900 is unknown as of May 2010.[73] The developer community that has built up around the n900 has talked about working on community releases and support, in a similar way to what is found with Linux variants generally. Whilst this may be a workable solution for applications, which is open source, much of the software that interfaces with Nokia hardware is proprietary and closed source and relies on Nokia support in a way that would allow integration with unofficial developments.

This i found about 15 minutes ago.

You were able to quote a wiki page which anyone can edit. Well done.

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

Whats wrong with you bro... honestly i feel like there is sand in your butt crack :p

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

No editing at all please check.
For me at least this is very worrying indeed.
I just hope this forum does indeed reverse Nokia decisions regarding this.

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

There was a huge thread on this forum saying that Nokia weren't gonna be officially supporting Meego on the N900, leaving the community to do it. I think that decision is ********, but there we have it. :\

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

Yes but this article i never seen and with the info i recieved today which i will not repeat it is very worrying and i just feel that something can be done from this community to get Nokia to re-start support for us N900 owners.
Hey this is a legitimate concern so please don.t knock me for it but if more know the truths coming out then just maybe it will move developers to make good where Nokia fail us.

This was already posted and closed by a mod... give it up will ya

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

I think that quote has a pretty negative spin and should be rewritten by a Nokia syncophant. It's too true.

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

Yeah, the guy (?) that wrote that also wrote this about himself (?):

It looks like that item was added 2 days ago by: http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=40295 (see history).

I think it's mis-phrased.

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

Reggie i think by now you should know me better than to start nonsense threads as all i wanted to do is voice my concerns and see what comes out of the bad news that is positive for everyone to get involved in from this community.

LOL at the "Because abill_uk said so!" right underneath.

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

LOL not sand Chrome more like a dead N900 lol.

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

With all due respect why don't you just give up and maybe try to at least read to understand !.

Re: Development for Maemo on the n900 would cease?
 

Can this be fully denied or confirmed?

Re: Development for Maemo on the n900 would cease?
 

There is no source in that wikipedia article. If it's an announemnt of Nokia from May 25th there should be some source for that.

Re: Development for Maemo on the n900 would cease?
 

Whoever posted "On May 25 2010, Nokia announced that future development for Maemo on the n900 would cease" on that wiki page shouldn't do so without quoting a source.

Re: Development for Maemo on the n900 would cease?
 

I forgot the source but it was something like this:

1. Meego won't commercially be released for the N900. But the community is free to do so.
2. Nokia will still support the N900 with more updates.

I don't know if this is true or not. We just have to wait and see.

Re: Development for Maemo on the n900 would cease?
 

Yeah, see, that last bit IS a true quote, but it means something Completely Different than "Development for Maemo would cease". It means "You'll have to MeeGofy your N900 yourself", and then it was followed up with Nokia/Maemo people saying "however, we're putting in resources to help you with it".

I'd find the quotes from right here at t.m.o., but I have to run now, so someone else will have to do that.

"Development would cease", sounds rly bad, but "no official support for MeeGo on the N900" sounds like the obvious being put to words.

Re: Development for Maemo on the n900 would cease?
 

I just searched for that official nokia announcement and all I could find was the Wikopedia entry and various forum references to it. So unless it was released by Nokia in print form I would have to say it is false.

I mean come on! That's News!! You would know about it! People are so gullible.:rolleyes:

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
 

So, what is going to be your new phone? And when?

Re: Development for Maemo on the n900 would cease?
 

Can i post """ THE SKY IS FALLING """ I want to see how many idiots start worrying ?? Jeez you have to find out where the info is coming from?? If you don't ! This is not the phone for you ! :cool:
