Should we migrate to MeeGo and when

Hello ALL!
Recently, I bought N900 and I really think it is the best phone I've ever had. However, I am a bit confused with this Maemo -> MeeGo migration. Should we go for MeeGo? And when?
Please, elaborate and help us, inexperienced...

Best,
PM

Re: Should we migrate to MeeGo and when

Short answer: No.
It's not nearly ready to be a replacement for Maemo yet (especially if you class yourself as 'inexperienced', that is not what the current version is targeted at at all - the N900 Meego has very limited functionality and is/was mainly for developers)

Re: Should we migrate to MeeGo and when

I'd wait for the N950 for Meego really (if it even ends up being closer to Meego than it is to a Maemo 6 candidate.)
I think the best shot for Meego on the N900 right now is Cordia, which is still being developed.

Re: Should we migrate to MeeGo and when

When:
1) when MeeGo has a handset version that is released on a phone sold and supported to the general public, and
2) you have checked that all the features you use on your N900 today also will work in this version of MeeGo on an N900, and
3) you're not too dependent of your phone to suffer a full reset and possibly a few days without a phone.

Optional 1.5) ...and you've read the first non-enthusiast reviews.

Is my suggestion.

Look Meego is not ready right now to boot i to your n900.They have just uploaded the meego file for the people.Taste it and get the chance to know that how will meego look like.

Code:

        stskeeps_says_meego_is_ready_for_daily_use == False:

This could be an infinite loop...

Don't be silly, it is not going to happen at all, unless Intel find a new cell phone partner to support this new system. Otherwise it is going to be a dead project soon, IMO.

Looking at the OS disk images that are being published weekly at meego.com, I see that there are several which are meant to run on a medfield phone. (In fact, the GUI won't even start without medfield hardware.)

So -- Intel does in fact have a hardware partner, since they at least have phone hardware with which they're testing meego.

However, whether or not these phones will ever reach consumers -- that we do not know.

1. Yes, we should. MeeGo is a better, saner and more user-friendly design than Maemo in all respects.

2. When all the basic MeeGo handset apps are ready and Intel's medfield phones reach consumers. (At this moment I don't see MeeGo on ARM hardware. MeeGo seems to be tested on Intel phones right now; the only ARM images are for the N900, and the N900 is already deprecated.)

Those are 'moorestown' phones.

Intel dropped 'moorestown' and has now moved on to the next-generation 'medfield'. (The disk images from meego.com are now also for 'medfield', not 'moorestown' like they used to be some time ago.)

Symantics. Aava makes OEM/Dev stage units, so they actually keep up with the chips, medfield, or what not; and the engadget link seemed to be more of an example of a non-Nokia phone.

This is about as much as I know about code:

20 GOTO 10

?SYNTAX ERROR

What little you coding you know isn't going to work... FAIL! :p

Not to be OOT, IMHO MeeGo should not be used on the N900 unless you are a programmer/developer.

..When MeeGo is a product capable of replacing Maemo5 by the standards of today, including PR1.3 and the progressive community SSU's.

With the version of BASIC I'm familiar with (the ZX Spectrum version) that colon shouldn't be there, so it would be a syntax error, but perhaps it is correct in some other version.

Brilliant. For a second I was transported back to being 12 years old. :) Is that a C64 emulator on your N900?

Re: Should we migrate to MeeGo and when

I personally would rather stick with Maemo or have it dual boot IF Meego becomes a fully working OS.
Maybe do the NITDroid style install to eMMC with meego.

I'm happy with Maemo. yes, it's limited for games and "commercial" applications. I don't care about them. I care about how it is now. It's wonderful. Meego may be better one day. But for me: Maemo is today.

Perhaps we should recode it into a more object oriented rudiment. Or perhaps, if you're lazy... add a DoEvents or something like that to the code. :D

Edit:
Ah, sorry. It's python. So this will do the trick:

Code:

processEvents()
