Run Symbian on Maemo devices?
Why nokia don't port Symbian and Ngage (is Ngage an os?) on the tablets?
It could open the Ovi doors to tablet users or use the tablet like a great development platform |

N-Gage is an API in its own, running on top of Symbian. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Gage_...hnical_details Quote:

Nokia is not porting symbian to tablets, because Maemo is way better os.

From the user point of view (MY point of view obviously) would be just another option that allow access the Ovi services, music shop and Ngage (at least the old) library. And I just imagine how well could look the Symbian logo on the tablet box... Quote:
+ even like a plain consumer device a Symbian OS could still appeal me but yes last barcelona's phones really overlap all the actual tablets killer features (gps, radio, keyboard, processing power, memory, wifi, audio quality). The screen and the speakers are probably still better than any phone around and is just impossible beat the flexibility. So I can't see any reason why Nokia should not spend a couple of milions of euro to make his user happy. |

To move to Symbian would be a terrible step backwards in my opinion. I jumped on the NIT bandwagon _because_ it runs Linux. I've had enough of closed system software on my devices, including portable ones.

Well, Symbian became opensource, but still, IMHO its days are counted.

Anyway @TA-t3: I didn't mean to replace maemo: just and alternative OS. And I dont really belive Nokia would really port symbian on the tablet (Im sure someone in Tampere already bring up the idea) I am just curios to analyze advantage or disadvantages and qgil gave me some good tips :) |

Re: Symbian and N-Gage on Tablets
Just when will Maemo be on the same level of usage than the symbian devices? I did use tablets for about two years and I did get very frustrated about tablets and switch back totally to S60 which I have been using since the 7610 model. Smaller screen, no touchscreen (N96) but very functioning applications. Music, gps, maps, email, all work well comparing to tablets!
