Likewise my TV for the one and blue moon I ever turn it on (I have a 360 hooked up to an LCD monitor).
It's 2010. Hell, I use my Motorola Droid to operate my VLC player via touchscreen like a remote control over my home wifi. I've seen apps on it to do the same for Tivo, Roku, MythTV and so on. IR is so 20th century.
HSDP is a promise, not a feature and the FM transmitter sounds wonky from the accounts I'm reading lately. The FM transmitter seems like a waste of circuitry, considering they should have concentrated on excellent Bluetooth HSP/A2DP. Speaking of 20th century. Heh... FM transmitter. :P
The TV Out is definantly dependent on that too. While having some sort of HDMI output would be nice, it would only work on one TV in my house, and when I travel I may or may not be able to use it depending on the hotel I stay in. While most HDTVs do have composite as backwards compatibility for devices like the Wii that don't have it.

They ever fix how you cannot use the FM transmitter while charging the phone?

Nokia never did, but you can.. FM Transmitter widget, or QWERTY12's FM transmitter.so file that puts it permantely in the menu. It even auto FM boosts it for you if you have it installed.

To me, that's the way to go...
Because Nokia does not have enough good apps to keep Maemo/Meego, and Nokia does not know how to get developers interested. Plus, the touch screen is not so responsive --- reason: OS/software.
Android is the way to go.

@pantera1989 - don't worry about the patriotic portion of my post.
I hate it when folks bring deep-rooted and wholly unnecessarily existing feelings about one country versus another. I guess being born in one country, raised in another and lived in 4 others... I'm just happy at the moment to have enough room for a garden, the ability to openly talk about the stuff I love - gadgets - and have surrounded myself by folks that know typically more than I do.
Patriotism is a wasted emotion in my books.

Can someone make an alternative blog to that one released, as if it was written by one of those tech-bloggers. I know MeeGo has many strengths and many weaknesses against Android, but that article didn't even mention them (the major one's). This should stop trolling some, even by those so-called gurus.

no but they should make both
Maemo/Meego for the computer like tasks (running OpenOffice, easy Debian, etc..).
Android for when I need a smartphone with GPS aware apps, etc..

MeeGo is a smart move. They fix Google's problem by having references for NetBook, tablets and phones. QT ties them all together and you get to expand on a base that's been maturing for years.
