Don't you know, man?? iOS and OSX are "unix", so it's all the same thing! That is why it's so good. It's Linux for human beings who work with graphics!...
But IOS? Is that really Unix based? didnt know that one :-O

No Maemo device ever had root access enabled out of the box, we always had to enable R&D mode or install a third-party package first.
If the wonder twins of leaked information are indeed correct, there's no terminal. The problems start there.

i dont have the quote, but i do remember Quim saying a while back that root access was very easy to get in Meego/Harmattan. remember that it was not enabled out of the box in Maemo either - you have to download rootsh.

Ah, QG tweets about a (new) MeeGo device, but it's not a Nokia nor a handset... (Asus EeePC X101)

As said in the past, users interested in getting full raw Linux power, including root access, will be able to get it.

You also had terminal out of the box.
In Harmattan, if there's no longer an application icon for the terminal, I'm hopeful the solution is as simple as was hinted at by qgil's question back in December of 2009.

If it had a point, well, wouldn't it be better to explain that rather than question the point of my post - not that I am claiming my posts necessarily have a point - if, as it seemed to me, it really didn't have a point, then never mind.
