As part of Elop's changes, have Nokia changed from a six-month budget approval process? Although there may be a plan for another year, it might not have been approved yet (unfortunately).

No, I'm not working for WOMWorld if you mean that.

I don't know how the budget is approved.
They just told me that one year timeframe...

This is what it said: "that the majority of MeeGo activities are planned to be discontinued by the end of June 2012"

This is something we already knew, it means meego is reduced to R/D status like 770/N800 era, just like Elop said. The "death" bit is added by the register for drama and effect. Would have been even more effective had they left out the "the majority of" bit too, but at least they didn't go that far to blow this up.
I was actually wondering where all that nonsense about june 2012 was coming from. Thanks for the info

EDIT: Actually the bit I quoted is not a quote in the article, so that bit was also only the writers version of it. Who knows what it actually said.

Symbian is the only OS that has been announced dead. MeeGo is part of the future distrupution.

No i'm not stupid and like many here i expect no major support for the Harmattan device(s). It is possible that the consumer device takes off and more time is put in to it, but these are just maybes.

As far as i'm concerned the wait is finally getting closer to the end and i would honestly be ready to pay silly money to buy this thing or the consumer device. How ever it is.

Just don't feed some of these people that support will be there and let them prove themself for those who need/want solid support behind for the OS. Maemo 5 already had it's follower announced year before N900 announcement and many of us knew Maemo 5 was not going to get 100% support behind it(while things didn't go exactly like above).
This time i don't wanna see bloggers putting stuff out there never been said by Nokia or this community hyping that support will be there.

  • long-term update path
  • Terminal with root access
  • solid casing - body: magnesium alloy
  • scratch protected resistive screen
  • easily removable and huge battery
  • Dualcore
  • 768MB RAM
  • 64GB Internal Storage
  • SD card slot
  • IR Transmitter and receiver
  • Camera Cover that starts a app as soon as I open it
  • totally DRM free
  • A nice Pen to store somewhere inside the Device
  • dual SIM
  • Keyboard with 4 coursor keys (a Space key with only a single button lenght would be okay for me on exchange)
  • a adressbook with userdefined fields to fill in
  • emulator for Android apps preinstalled
  • a extra button to reach the Taskswitcher - as currently ShortCutD emulates using the camera Button

If the device has something missing from my wish list I have to think again about how much I would pay for it?

If it's based on Intel Atom instead of ARM it would be nice to have Windows Home Premium or Ubuntu as a Dual Boot option together with MeeGo. Connected with HDMI out and 1080p it would be a nice feature using it as PC replacement together with Bluetooth Mouse and Bluetooth Keyboard. In this case (it would need 2GB RAM) and if it fulfills all points from my list above, what about 2000€ ?

On my side, I believe that Harmattan is ready for many months (supposed to be delivered at the end of last year) so they had plenty of time to polish it further?!
I do not expect much Nokia support. But if at least I can dual boot with Meego that would be fantastic
Then the rest is 3rd party apps and if we have at least what is for the N900, I would be satisfied (not 100% but the % is enough).
But let's see the hardware first

Seriously... I'm a fan of Maemo. Look at my sign-up times to witness that. I just don't like what Nokia had historically done with it, nor do I see its chances for a future to be that great from a corporate support level.

Community level is another story though. And great hardware is great hardware.
Just kidding, gerbs, but glad I made you laugh. We can't take this stuff tooooo seriously. I have to agree with you that unless the top knobs at Nokia have had some kind of epiphany (maybe while they were all asleep) support for this thing is not something I would say is a certainty. At all. You're right about Maemo, I'm a big fan too.
As far as support goes, I'm with you on the community. Man, I've had a million times more support from this community than anything else Nokia has offered me in the last 9 months. Can we assume that maemo.org has been given a life-extension with another Maemo-type device coming? Hope so.

Community, community, community

I can't see a keyboard on the Fujitsu LOOX images. Have I overyeen something?
And I had symbian in the past. I wouldn't buy such kind of device again. It would be a to large step back to the past. So it doesn't fit my needs. Sorry.

Yes, but the TV out resolution is not very high and because of the limited RAM it doesn't run very well.
