Is this a good publicity for maemo? Is this a future for maemo programmers?
Do I care less if people leaves maemo in favor of Android? better this happens than reading a forum where 75 percent is bashing about how bad maemo is how bad Nokia is and so on. But to the point, I really dont think dalvik would help maemo in any way.

And about the developers it is far more important that Nokia fokusing on QT now both on symbian/maemo/meego. thinking dalvik would help the developers is not what I think, maybe if they prefer going Android but not if they prefer working with QT in that case it would only hurt...


Google offers much applications that are interesting:
Where is streetview on maemo?
Where is flash 10.1 on maemo?
...

About streetview so you think Google would alow people to install theyr app on a branded dalvikvm? I dont think soo.

Its not only a problem getting dalvik to n900 it also is some legal rights etc...

But when was flash related to dalvik? do yout really think porting dalvik would ge flash 10. to n900 :O

I am sure you can give better app examples than this
But for the moment the speed of application development is much higher on google side.

We NEED maemo users to have more applications and feedback.
Users want to have access to all modern applications.

Dalvik is a MUST.
so you like maemo but want dalvik well arent you afraid dalvik would kill maemo at the end? I dont think it is possible to port and make it fully work... But lets say it is possibe why would any developer then wanna write core maemo apps then? Why not go Android all the way then?

Dalvik would just KILL maemo/meego and thats bad imho.

But yes Maemo/meego needs more professional apps! But thats a totally different story imho. atm. Nokia need to get some stuff done to make it happen. They have to get the damn QT4.7(version already in n900) upgrade done on theyr new phones like n8, c7, e7 that way we probadly also will se some of those apps on n900 too.

because I am sure many developers is pending to release some apps until damn ovistore supports QT 4.7 and the phones are synced with latest release!


HELL I am to much in this forum I should start write some cool QT apps for Maemo/Meego instead
