In an ideal world I would expect you to mention b.m.o, but that's pretty much a Modest developer-free zone these days...
Feature #1 (Full MfE support) has very little to do with Modest. Most of it is to do with the calendar, MfE, and the general OS security (as some of the provisioning requirements will need changes to the security setup). There are bugs open for all of these, and most of them have been covered in the main MfE thread (either being worked on or being pushed for). Things have been pretty quiet on that front recently though.

This is the problem with the whole N, E, C, XM etc labeling. Nokia should have never brought the internet tablet line into the N-series labeling and instead created a new line perhaps M-series.
A differentiation like this where they align user expectation with maemo, linux and the idea of a MID rather than Symbian and the notion of a 'smartphone'. The computing tasks available to users of the tablet line are so much more advanced than a smartphone but the 'smartphone' features are clearly somewhere from back in 2004.

Maybe once most of the features were aligned should they have been tagged N-series, which from all reports seem to be around Harmattan/Meego1 and Symbian 3.

OK, you win.

With such open and approachable developers I only wish I had MfE problems rather than bog standard/basic POP functionality issues...!

Rightly or wrongly I tend to consider MfE a part of Modest, or in a more general sense part of the email functionality that is provided on the device. Same goes for Nokia Messaging. They may all exist as three separate but linked components however the common or garden user doesn't care, they just get a shonky email experience because as a whole it's all so flakey and under-developed.

However it is great to see the MfE developers getting involved and actually communicating directly with their end users - a model for everyone else perhaps.

Hi, I have been away from Talk a whole busy and quite offline week.

I see there are plenty of new posts here that have actually little to do with the original topic. Do you mind moving these discussions elsewhere?Thank you!

Quim some of those posts are the result of people trying to dig down deeper into the subject... but maybe a moderator here (I'm not) can sift through and figure out what should stay and what should go.

Here something new to include in the wiki page, but I need help.

How accurate is this post :

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=38

An app developer will write an app using Qt and it will run on all Qt enabled devices (with a simple recompile if the arch changes). This means that the developers won't target specifically MeeGo 1 but Qt, giving them a much larger market.
The same app will run on the n900, the MeeGo based successors (and MeeGo based TV screens, toasters and coffee machines) as well as on newer Symbian phones.
Emphasis is mine

Just blows my mind to see threads like this:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=47412

And no matter how many times reality is explained, people whoosh right past it and post more garbage.

I'm all for locking such threads with a moderator's note that it may be reopened after heads have cooled... and people have read.

Cripes, I'm trying to put out FUD fires on twitter over that last bit and @MeeGoExperts just refuses to get it...
