Where is the deluxe version with Hw-keyboard? Without Hw-keyboard, It looks like a toy.

looks pretty cool. I'd love having a desktop dock or the ability to snap into a laptop.

"can run at up to 2Ghz thanks to the two 1GHz cores packed in"

Android? These are not the devices i'm looking for.

Re: n900 looks like a toy compared to this
Sure does.

Re: n900 looks like a toy compared to this
Oh hey, look at that. A phone. In a dock. With a screen, mouse, keyboard, and more. Can't say I didn't see this coming ages ago.
Too bad Motorola insists on retaining enough control over the device to say "your device is permanently obsolete, starting now." Shame that TiVOized devices seem to be the way of the future. |

Re: n900 looks like a toy compared to this
Hmm, Motarola also use those efuse thingies to prevent you loading your own firmware, so not much chance of Meego-ifying it, but the hw spec is pretty impressive (but no hw kb)

... to hack and put MeeGo or somesuch on it. ;) I'd probably even get the dock kit too. |
Re: n900 looks like a toy compared to this
I would have rather seen the phone as the touch pad, and the phone OS blown up to the big screen.
|
Re: n900 looks like a toy compared to this
With bluetooth keyboard and mouse plus the TV-out cable you can "dock" your N900 on just about anywhere with a TV screen.

I like the concept shown here, but what I know of Motorola's attitude (never mind hardware and carrier nitpicking) kills it for me. I'm hoping someone else runs with the concept and loosens the reins a bit. |

HDMI + Dock might improve that duration, for sure, if not on my TV. |

People like Tivo like devices because they just work and generally don't require a lot of technical knowledge, compared to computer which has steep learning curve, can get viruses, slow downs, instabilities, will take a long time to boot, and can suffer various other bugs. |
Re: n900 looks like a toy compared to this
I think it's pretty interesting how developers in FOSS communities are rather out of touch with the market, compared to commercial developers who has to constantly try to stay in touch with their target customers.
This is just fine and dandy when you deal with software, but when we're dealing with hardware platforms and ecosystem, the paradigm has to shift. We require the masses' (financial) support to continue to exist; |
Re: n900 looks like a toy compared to this
In many situations i find the opposite to be true, comercial software and hardware developers don't really fullfill the customer desires, but for lack of alternatives and/or undue hype people buy the products anyway, while where there are free opensource alternatives often there are variations that much better satisfy user demands.

Engadget has another look at the Atrix showing a "Bluemaemo"-like interface when in multimedia mode and a little more in depth at the capabilities. This really is the Meego dream, plug into tablet select Tablet UI, plug into Nettop select Netbook UI.
I hope the N9 can deliver. http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/09/m...er-look-video/ Off-Topic: I've been using a Nook color rooted as an Android Tablet for a few weeks now and really want a good Meego Tablet. |
Re: n900 looks like a toy compared to this
Pretty much everybody (Android, Blackberry, iOS, etc) actually has a TANGIBLE and good to beautiful looking tablet out there. Where are those Nokia tablets? heh.. heheh... Nokia. :) Man, I wish there was a real, consumer purchasable MeeGo product out so we can do more than just talk about how awesome it'll be when it comes out. :P

Re: n900 looks like a toy compared to this
There's WeTab. It runs a version of MeeGo.
Wow. That's pretty damn sad reading that after I typed it. MeeGo was announced in February of 2010. Even the QNX based Blackberry Playbook that was announced in September of 2010 has professional videos from the company of origin and has no delays as of yet. WTF indeed. |

I managed to get my Logitech blutooth keyboard+trackpad and use Easy Debian (mainly for web development stuff) and using it on a decent 32-inch flatscreen tv just about works. The image is about as stable as a middle eastern country but then again it looks really authentic when I play commodore 64 and zx spectrum games! What I find really "interesting" is that nokia kickstarted the *tablet computing market back in 2005 with the N770 and they were making steady progress. With all the stuff they should have learned you would have thought they would have been dominant in that sector today! Then Apple bring out the iPad with shiney multi-touch goodness, the retina display (teeny-weeny pixels) and "multi-tasking is for losers". Ta-da! and for my next trick I Nokia will screw-up the smartphone market and reverse time by 1 year by abandoning maemo and re-starting everything again with MeeGo. We don't need no steenking TARDIS. * I know Apple were developing their tablet device but Nokia was the first to really offer a viable commercial tablet device! |

Check it! April of 2010 this was posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBq66fEVYzo September of 2010 this was posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EdNBTwHxWk Are we STILL waiting? It seems like it has useful potential but a little pokey (slow) to me despite the guy saying 'it responds very fast.' Maybe I've been spoiled by Android running on my Galaxy Tab but it seemed like some of the scrolling and launching was rife with latency and delay. Regardless, it's not out yet--so I can't even believe that that's a final product yet anyway. Both the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the WeTab showed up at the IFA in September of 2010, but only the Galaxy Tab came out and was purchasable in the store two months later. Anyone got a link to a store where it can be bought? Is it even going to be sold or supported in North America? heh |
