C00l IR laz3r!!

I highly doubt that will ever come true in the consumer electronics market, because people do not like IR because you have to but the devices together, unlike bluetooth (aka line of sight). But seriously, 1GB per second? It would need some really good hard drive or memory to write data that fast. And it would probably kill battery life not to mention a lot of other things...

In other news, I heard that Nokia has decided to discontinue all future tablets, and instead concentrating their "open source efforts" on their new Unified Symbian. It looks like there is not going to be a N900 or any future tablet. Over a 100 pages for nothing. So sad...










OK, no. But seriously, 100 pages and over 1000 posts about a device that is still not out, and every other time I check there is a great debate about something or another... Cant we just leave the poor N900 alone?? Whats wrong with you!!!

(or, we can let the madness continue. I vote madness)

that 1gigabit, not 1gigabyte...

so something like 125megabyte pr second...

but thats still better then the old one that comes in at around 500kilobyte pr second...

But we all like to dream. Besides, if Nokia isn't listening.. it seems that there are others who are. I've become a lot more serious about deciding to abandon my N800 for a Pandora now that it's been shown to me and has precisely EVERY feature and the form factor I've wanted.

The Pandora?? Is that the codename for the new N900? Sorry, I'm a little late to the thread, so I'm not up to speed on the 109 pages of information contained here.

Yes.

It might as well be, to me, if it turns out the way it's been described so far. Their website, in case you want to read up on it, is at http://openpandora.org/.

This just ups the ante as far as competition, near as I can tell.

Pandora = Kick A55 Open Source Gaming Platform / Linux Computer

Which is not exactly completed or available.

Don't taunt. We can bite. Grrr.

Ture! But at least it is better than the N900, which is still vaporware.

But seriously, when is the N900 going to come out? Lets see, N810W is still not out, so say it come out in September. How long a gap was there between N800 and N810, or N810 and N810W? Like 6 months give or take. So the N900 will be released next summer.

Next Summer will not be now, not even close. The playing field will be radically different. All the Android stuff, and Pandora, and MIDs and blah blah blah will be out. And they will all be better or at least the same as the realistic N900 presented in this forum. What advantage does the N900 have?

N800 and 770 were awesome devices, because there was nothing like them on the market. Now things have changed, and nothing is being done.

Like it or not, the iPhone has changed everything. Just look, everything is now (falsely) an "iClone", even a 770 that came out before! Seriously, I was watching Harold and Kumar: GB, and my friend said "Lol, he is too cheap to buy an Iphone..." and I had to explain the the "phone" he was using was not a phone and it came out years before the iPhone. Needless to say, he only believed me because he trusts me as a friend and gadget lover. I don't understand what Nokia is doing to change that, and they have to....
