REUTERS:
RPT-Nokia says seeing 'alot of interest' in N900
http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssT...37277520090916
"Since we started to show it to larger audience two weeks ago, there has been tremendous buzz and interest. A lot of interest," Ari Jaaksi, vice president for Maemo devices at Nokia.
"Now we are finalising the package, software, hardware, marketing campaign. The goal is to get it out in October," Jaaksi said.
Analysts see N900 and following Linux devices as key for Nokia to gain back ground in the coming years.
Nokia has kept its overall market share stable, close to 40 percent, but it has lost share among more expensive models to the likes of Apple (AAPL.O).

Well, it seems to be "Best" seller on Amazon. Last time I checked it was in 8th place and all that was ahead of it was blue tooth ear pieces and $15 screen protectors. Thats good news.

I think Maemo is going grow. Though it won't be a top contender just yet. But our community should be getting bigger, along with more applications, more company support. So things should look good. It won't explode like the iPhone though.

I went for multi-tasking. I am a big multi-tasker,

That is why I have been looking at the iPhone platform lately... however, the problem is that, what if I don't like the way something works?
Even if Symbian isn't as pretty, it's so much more functional with any post N95 device you have enough memory and demand-paging to allow you to run a good number of applications simultaneously.

in response to who's in the spotlight and I asked was it the Moto Cliq...
Its on everyone's lips, and it is mostly good. This is a turn for the better. Nokia hasn't had much good pub in a while, we may have forgotten what it felt like.

Palm is getting buzz, but not much more. Android it HOT, but diluted by various devices but little differentiation. Symbian is surviving, but Maemo?
that and a whole lot of iphone...

The term for iPhone tasking is serial-tasking (one item at a time).

"Is N900 the best smartphone Nokia ever released? "
That's the problem, it's a "smart phone". Nokia has officially abandoned the mobile internet tablet platform.

The Android 1.6 update to its marketplace, the WebOS 1.2 update and the HTC Hero seem to have more of a consumer eye. Maemo 5, has the "tinkerer" eyes. And OS 3.1 - is pissing off a lot of people.
