Surely, though, PB, you could whip up a kubuntu copy? (a kde deb for ubuntu)

Er... do you mind being more precise and just ask your real question at https://wiki.maemo.org/Questions_for_Nokia ?

I also can guess. You got a cheap Nokia tablet with a developper code for porting a linux app to linux. Now you are a Nokia fan.
Your last impolite statement can only come from people who use their own picture as avatar
Excuse me folks for this little sidebar here.

Modulok, I am not a big fan of the Generals abrupt manner sometimes, but he is precise, to the point, and doesn't lower himself to personal attacks.
Your last statements in the above quoted post however, have nothing to do with the topic at hand and leave a lot to be desired by this gentle forum member.

Carry on.

Er, pressure their big, important business partners so a few thousand Linux hackers can maybe have a slightly more open device? Yeah, nice thought, but Nokia lives in reality.
*Well, I guess you could make a good case for the fruits showing with OMAP3 (as it's much more open than OMAP2), but it doesn't seem to have panned out for OMAP2

Hi,
You asked (a few posts ago) about why ubuntu versus maemo (for example) and that's a trivial answer. As a developer maemo sucks. None of the examples compile or run, the documentation is pitiful, the tools are awful, and you don't support java.
Designing for ubuntu is 100x easier.
Haven't you noticed how there's no groundswell of maemo apps even though there's a reasonably-sized user community? I tried and gave up and I've written apps for lots of other stuff easily.

It's very easy to say 'maemo sucks', but it's more difficult to say why and how to improve that situation.

btw, there have been improvements in Maemo documentation
http://maemo.org/development/documen...tart-guide.pdf
http://maemo.org/maemo_release_docum...on/maemo4.1.x/
About the tools, things are also improving
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo-sdk/
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/esbox/
Buggy examples, where are they? Please file or point to the bug and we will fix it. Thank you!
Java: what you wanted to do that JaLiMo wouldn't support? The guys want to know.
Applications, sure there are more on top of x86. Can you please help by triaging those that are missing in Maemo that would make perfect sense in a device like the N810? Thanks again.

As long as your answering questions. Do you think there will ever be a supported environment without matchbox.
It would be nice to have a window manager beside matchbox supported by the maemo/nokia team.
Am I just dreaming
To all my Maemo friends. I will no longer be monitoring any of my threads here on a regular basis. I am no longer supporting anything I did under maemo at maemo.org. If you need some help with something you can reach me at tablethacker.com or www.facebook.com/penguinbait. I have disabled my PM's here, and removed myself from Council email and Community mailing list. There has been some fun times, see you around.
