maemo.org - Talk - Nokia and Redfly

Redfly is now supporting Android (which I talk about over in this "competitors" thread: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=26061 ). Over there, I also mention that Maemo should try to make sure the Linux version of the "Redfly Software version" runs on Maemo as well, so you can remote control your WinMo or Android phone from your tablet.

I mention it here because there's another aspect of this:

Redfly now supports 2 phone OS's. WinMo and Android. The Nokia people should try to get Nokia and Redfly to talk and get Redfly to also support Symbian (S60 at least, if not S40 as well).

Imagine if Maemo and Symbian were both supported. You'd be able to fully remote control your phone from your tablet (messaging, initiating calls, etc.; though, I imagine the call itself would still go through the phone's audio infrastructure, and not be bridged through the tablet), and tether your tablet to the internet via your phone. You'd have the best of both tablet camps: only having to touch/interact with one device, but having your WWAN radio separate from your tablet.

So, anyway, just suggesting: Nokia people should spread this around the company, both in the Maemo and Symbian sides of the house. Having Nokia phones supported by Redfly, and having the Redfly software run on Maemo, would both be huge wins for Nokia, IMO.
