xkcd #662, where's the N900?
 

Today's xkcd comic has one glaring omission, the Maemo platform. In the ensuing discussion though, it seems to be getting plenty of love. Fess up, who has posted in there already?

hard to talk about something that is not widely available...

specially since the north americans are getting bombarded by droid and iphonie ads...

if nokia doesnt step up the marketing game with n900 this phone will be remembered as "10 of the worst marketed best devices in history".

A fair point. I have yet to see the N900 mentioned anywhere offline.

This is getting ridiculous - xkcd is not a handset advertiser. Nobody knows what an N900 is and it's not even out yet!

xkcd does generally play up its geeky in-the-know sort of image, so not even mentioning the N900 is a bit odd.

While you are, of course, correct, I would have expected at least some mention, especially considering the demographic and the image of xkcd.

Mind you, I'm biased.

The only way it could be mentioned in the context of the comic would be "Is there an N900 app for that? Oh wait there are no N900 apps". Application support is the N900s greatest weakness (as a new platform) so the last thing Nokia or an advocate of the device would want would be for it to be mentioned in that context.

Well actually in my head, I was hoping for something a little more like this: Attachment 4637

On xkcd it could easily have been in the title text as Or something. There's a reason I don't write a massively popular comic :rolleyes:

It's almost as though Nokia is targeting their always-connected Internet device at users of the Internet. Wacky.
