That's neither here nor there on this issue.
I really don't understand Nokia's interest in pursuing a scripting layer like this when they already have a stable full of developers and budding developers willing to make apps (which
will
be more efficient) with the system languages. A javascript app layer doesn't appeal to iJoes, so this move is puzzling. It's
not
going to get them greater market penetration, and will also turn off some of the more staunch supporters that aren't the kind that want to play with Barbie's Espoo Adventure.
Those
developers are already off playing with the borg queen and the Apple.
Anyway, this is no longer anything to do with the N900 except that it may end up being my first and last Nokia device given present trends. If so, it's at least a nice detour. Back on topic for my next post. I've still got to find a suitable spreadsheet to replace Hancom Sheet on the Z, so that may be the subject.
