Thanks all - sorry I've not updated, but I've been busy and have also run out of steam to be excited about the N9 as the wait is so long (as always with any Nokia product you might actually want to throw down money for).



I'll update the OP tomorrow so long as I'm not too swamped.

Thanks, please do when you get a minute...
I understand the de-enthusiasm though, who can blame you!

I don't recall official announcement of N900, & availability in first countries, being quite as long as this.
Even if it was.....
Elop foreshadowed shortly after he started, that announcement/availability would be more aligned (ala Apple).
Seems he's only going to reserve that for WP7.x phones.

Some updates done. I'm not sure what to make of the Fennec/flash link though... is there any other commentary to help me understand its significance (or otherwise)?

Thanks mate, in a nutshell....

The flash link explains that a Nokia dev responsible for testing/tweaking Fennec on harmattan.
Has finished testing the latest flash binary using his build of Fennec, & has confirmed all is working well.

The only road block left, is trying to convince management to license a signed binary.
His latest responses RE how that's progressing are positive, yet still quite vague...

*edit*
Looks like the info. about platform security hasn't been included.
That's very important developments IMO...
Please re-read all of my posts on previous page, if/when you have time.
Thanks!

Some updates made. Sorry for my cop-out on the Aegis etc. question, but I don't have a good enough understanding of what's what to write a summary on that (I tried, but realised I was spouting pure BS, so I stopped )

Apparently there's going to be a client made for this
http://gomiso.com/
one of the devs accepted in the n950 program (forget his name) is major symbian dev
And he's going to be porting some of the most popular Symbian apps... & this.

File manager for Harmattan...
http://projects.developer.nokia.com/filemanager
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75726
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J5lqqkkvR0

Nifty apps coming:

Nokia-Play-To: doesn't look like there's N9 support, but will be soon
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-play-to
SMShopper
http://projects.developer.nokia.com/SmShopper
IRC chatter: light-weight, touch-friendly IRC client
http://www.meegoexperts.com/2011/08/...mattan-qt-qml/
MeeCast: not just a weather app but a whole platform, sounds impressive
http://www.meegoexperts.com/2011/08/...ego-harmattan/
Butaca
http://nokiagadgets.com/2011/08/14/b...mattan-device/
MusikCloud: sound-cloud client
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75639
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLg8YhMaq90
cuteTunes: cuteTunes client
http://nokiagadgets.com/2011/08/18/c...for-harmattan/
Video Toad FTP: this'll probably be integrated into file manager anyway.

If it isn't, then this is very cheap, and seems to work well.

An awesome development relating to the UI
http://felipec.wordpress.com/2011/08...sane-behavior/
Some great comments relating to this development:
This is exactly what I was hoping would happen!
In it’s normal use meego-harmattan swipe behaviour would mean a swiping out of an application would bring you back to the screen from which you started that appliction.
Which might mean you’d need an extra swipe to get to the screen you’d really want.
Now with the option of customisable swipes, you should never be more than one swipe away.
For instance on my n9 I’ll be using this swipe scheme: up = app screen, down = kill/close app, left = notifications screen, right = multitasking screen.
Much more unified and efficient behaviour I think.
I wonder whether there’s the possibility to use two or more directions of swipe to initiate an action also… ie. Left and right swipe together = start an application
Or even swipe macros which could be started by holding down one of the volume keys for a while followed by a series of swipes that then does something…
this ones probably just for the hardcore users though.
<snip>I’m wondering which, out of the suggestions that have been made so far could be implemented by the community (without having to re-write huge chunks of code that is).
The application specific swipes could probably be done assuming that the trigger to make changes to mcompositor.conf active is lightweight with no side effects.
Pretty much all the other suggestions look like they won’t be possible to me……
Oh hang on! All this swipe gesture stuff is developed in the open (gitorious/meegotouch/meegotouch-compositor*) ?! That’s pretty awesome.
I'm loving where the above might be going....
How cool would it be, if we could have something similar to quicksilver, but for a smartphone touchscreen!?!

BT4 (but conflicting info suggests it still may not be there; I'll ask Zeh @"N950 Vs N9")
https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=18246

This suggests at least FM TX should be possible...
http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...ng_FM_receiver
But according to this FM TX "&" RX is looking unlikely (asking about BT4)

As always - thanks. I've almost run out of steam to keep researching - seems my cynicism and despair over the direction Nokia has taken is taking its toll on my previously fan-boyish enthusiasm.

Can't get to reading/editing this all today, but will try tomorrow.

I also found the AllAboutMeego N9 FAQ, which (while it's not that useful to us and repeats lots of the usual Nokia corporate non-answer nonsense) does at least attempt to collate lots of N9-related information in one place.

I personally don't get why this one's supposedly so awesome, but it's a quality/high-profile app nonetheless

I do like this...

Yet another file-manager: the duplication of effort, instead of pioneering different genres, is a bit worrying.
