Not -because- of Nokia, -because- of maemo.

U talk about Andriod, we all know how new that software is and yet it was able to develop better and alot more pieces of software
Android was targeted at carriers and developers from the start. It's also a very self-contained system that is only open by virtue of Google buying them up. Maemo was not targeted like that, not even with the release of the N900.

in comparison to the so called hitech, extra ordinary, open source, and unlimited linux based OS.
So you're resorting to open source and Linux bashing, I see.

It -might- work for the customer. Personally I like the community repository and open source aspects of Maemo, it keeps the ones trolling for pocket change at a distance.

You're bashing Maemo for not being right up there with Android and iPhoneOS, when Nokia explicitly did not target them with this device. They went right back to the audience for their prior internet tablets.

Criticizing the community here for Nokia's actions is just annoying. The community here has gone above and beyond to make development easier, but there's only so much they can do.

Yes, I also did some assembler code but that doesn't mean that I want to use it for application development C# pays my bills but I have grown to like the language. There are many nice features and small things that makes C# quite elegant in my opinion.
But C++ is not the problem. Problem is that the development process and tools are not well documented and refined (as stated few time already in this thread) compared to for example C# and .Net framework. But I tried to install the development tools about a year ago. Probably everything is improved since then. At least there has been many good tips in this thread.

Now I only need to find time for development. That's the toughest problem to solve at the moment!

Fine fine, you're right I'm wrong. Everything about Nokia is horrible, and I'm mistaken for having bought an N900 and enjoying the experience and the community.

Is that more what you were looking for?

This thread goes to the same direction like the thread i started here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=48626

Why are there way more apps out there for android and the iphone and why do almost all of them offer a good end-user experience? I really don't want to bash the maemo developers here. I really like the N900 and the available applications. Rather i'm looking for similarities between maemo and symbian, a plattform which suffers from the same problems. And this similarity is... Nokia. Why is it so complicated for such a big company to work closer with the software developers and the community? Maemo is more or less a Nokia project, Qt belongs to Nokia and the N900 is obviously also a Nokia product. So why isn't there a one-click installation which sets up a development environment? I'm no programmer, maybe it's more complicated than i think?
Or is it linux? Actually, i'm a windows only user, but a few years ago i wanted to get linux a try. I installed suse linux and relatively fast i ran into problems with my ati graphics card. So i searched the internet, found some forum post and wikis. But all instructions were somehow incomplete and to difficult to understand for a newbie like me. So i opended up some threads on a linux board and got similar reactions like from bandora (post #4): "look here and there, if you don't understand this then first look there..." and so on. No one gave me a concrete answer to my questions. So i gave up und uninstalled suse a few days later. It seems many users only wanted to educate me as a linux expert by reading hundreds of pages. Not everbody has time for that if he just wants to fix a single specific problem.
Just my experiences with linux...

I don't know. Maybe Nokia has consider itself as a hardware manufacturer and software hasn't been consider important? Development tools don't need to be super easy to install. Developers usually aren't computer illiterate. Of course you have to remember that Nokia bought Qt only two years ago. I have no idea what was the development tools state at that time but if they were not good, I would expect it to take quite long time to develop better ones. But I'm just speculating since I haven't used the tools!

Linux is not the problem. I have Ubuntu in my netbook and it works better than Windows. For example bluetooth dongle and 3G usb modem both worked out of the box with Ubuntu. But IMO that's not really relevant to this discussion why development has been lacking in Maemo world.
