Review: The Linux Powered Nokia N810 Internet Tablet
,----[ Quote ]
| For many years people have been looking for a simple and efficient way to
| take the internet with them. First there was laptops, but those were too big.
| Then came phones and PDA's, but those were too small, and too feature lean.
| But now that is all history thanks to Nokia's new N810 Internet Tablet! But
| what are some of the things that make this device so special? Actually, quite
| a lot. So let's go have a look and see what it has to offer you.
|
| [...]
|
| The N810 is also surprisingly customizable, so you're not stuck with what
| someone else thinks your internet tablet should be. You can make it whatever
| you want it to be. Now while the N810 sells for a bit more than I would like
| ($450 last I checked) it's well worth every penny. And another thing about it
| that fascinates me is that even though I've spent a lot of time exploring it,
| there's still so much there that I'm still discovering new stuff all the
| time. And don't get hooked on the idea that the N810 is a super PDA, because
| it's so much more.

Linux might soon be coming to their phones as well, even though they deny this.

Nokia looks beyond Symbian to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| With a 47.9 percent stake in Symbian, the leading mobile platform that it
| co-founded in 1998 and which today powers some 206 million mobile phones,
| Nokia has long championed it at the expense of rival platforms such as Linux.
|
| No longer.
|
| The mobile-phone maker is increasingly selecting Linux for Internet-enabled
| mobile devices, with its CFO declaring of Linux, "It's going to be terribly
| important."

|
| All in all, it looks like device and desktop software will continue to

Ubuntu Coming to Nokia N800-Series Internet Tablets
,----[ Quote ]
| The Nokia N800 and N810 Internet Tablets are wonderful little devices,
| because they give you virtually the same online experience as a laptop but in
| a much smaller form factor. The operating system on these handhelds, however,
| is starting to get a little dated. We already know that Nokia isn't going to
| make the leap to Windows Mobile or OS X, so it's time to turn over to Linux.

Nokia Calls for Openness
,----[ Quote ]
| Speaking as the lunch keynote at The Mobile Future, a day-long conference
| sponsored by Carnegie Mellon and the University of California at Berkeley ,
| Iannucci laid out his thoughts on how his industry has to change in order to
| spur the next generation of mobile demand.
|
| Openness, of course, refers to having standard platforms that applications
| developers can work on; the Android platform from Google would be one
| example. (See Now Wait for Android.)
|
| [...]
|
| But openness is going to be necessary, because it's the mobile industry's
| best shot at discovering the applications that will drive the next wave of
| wireless demand. The agony of debugging an application across a couple dozen
| phone models is enough to scare away would-be developers, Iannucci said.

Qt to be supported in addition to GTK+
,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia will introduce Qt to the maemo platform in addition to GTK+. The plan
| is in the earliest stage and recruitment offers for Qt/C++ developers will
| pop up soon. Don't expect any Qt application developed by Nokia for the
| tablets anytime soon, though. The first actual step will be the distribution
| of the Qt libraries for application development in maemo.org during 4Q2008.
