The Following User Says Thank You to atmasphere For This Useful Post: | ||
Obviously, I have an interest in the Internet tablet succeeding. I want more applications, more capabilities and Nokia to continue the Internet Tablet product line.
What can we do to help promote the Internet Tablet?
Community - We're fortunate to have Internet Tablet Talk as a place to ask questions, share ideas and discuss the tablet. I've been telling people about this website and I've taken a stab a few times at answering questions.
Applications - Maemo.org is a good central location to find applications and there's an initiative to help port new ones. I still see a lag in getting applications tested on the n800. There is an application wish-list to show what people are wanting.
Developers - It seems like we have a good share of very bright developers and we can always use many more at every level. More developers/application porters/packages maintainers/how-to writers/testers will mean more applications for us all. The vmware Maemo Development Appliance is a fantastic way to draw in new developers. I've kept my torrent up and its gained quite a bit of momentum in just a few days. Recently, there was a great writeup on how we can improve the interface and user experience.
Media Coverage - There's been quite a few very good reviews on the Internet including a positive one from C|net. I haven't seen much on Slashdot and I don't follow Digg as much anymore and I'm sure there's other websites to target. Maybe someone can get an article or two out there to get more exposure. Handheld VPN client, Maemo Mapper, Portable VNC PC remote control, mini office suite, einstein newton emulator, mame gaming platform, windows emulation, mac emulation - I'm sure there's other crazy stuff that may not be of value or killer apps that make the platform what it is. An article would catch someone's eye and draw them to evaluate the tablet for other things. And then there's word of mouth. If every owner gets one person to buy a Tablet we doubled our userbase and grew our community.
What ideas do you have and what can we do to grow our community and make the Internet tablet more useful for us all?
