Analyst: Nokia planning Maemo iPhone competitor
,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia plans to release a mass-market, Linux-
| based Maemo smartphone to compete with
| Apple's iPhone in the second half of 2010,
| according to UBS analyst Maynard Um.
| Although the move appears to signal an
| increasing reliance by Nokia on Maemo at the
| expense of Symbian, a Nokia spokesman said
| the company still considers the Symbian
| platform its main smartphone operating system.

Hands On With Nokiaâs N900
,----[ Quote ]
| The N900 will start shipping around the end of
| November and will cost $650. Weâll have a full
| review on the finished hardware before then. So
| far the N900 shows a great deal of promise â
| Nokia is definitely doing the right thing when
| it comes to an open platform and a lack of
| Symbian. Now if only they could get a carrier
| to subsidize the device and help bring the cost
| down a little bit.

Linux in your hand; from geeks only to consumer friendly mass market
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is not new to the mobile phone world,
| but in the past the majority of Linux-based
| phones were sold in China or were feature
| phones with âhiddenâ Linux builds, such as
| the Motorola RAZR2 V8, MotoZine ZN5, and
| Motorola ROKRs. Companies have taken the
| power of Linux and are bringing that to the
| mass market with these latest smartphones.
| These Linux-based operating systems are
| attractive to device makers because of the
| free or relatively inexpensive licensing
| agreements. We also see some of these high
| end Linux-based operating systems being
| quite open, primarily when looking at
| Google Android and Nokia Maemo 5 and 6.
| Palmâs WebOS is primarily a closed system
| at this time.

Hands On Nokia N900 smartphone demo
,----[ Quote ]
| We managed to get a little quality time with the
| Nokia N900 smartphone running Maemo and Linux. This
| smartphone, sporting killer specs and 3G HSDPA for T-
| Mobile US and Europe should begin shipping in the
| next few weeks. Notice how quick the device is when
| switching between desktop screens and applications--
| the multitasking is very impressive thanks to 256
| megs of RAM and virtual memory that brings it up to 1
| gig of application RAM.

Nokia N900 Gets Full Review
,----[ Quote ]
| The Nokia N900 takes the functionality of the
| older Nokia Tablet devices and repackages them
| into a slimmed down PDA device that features some
| design similarities with the Nokia N97. So, we
| get a full QWERTY keyboard sans the tilted slide
| function, 3.5-inch touchscreen but with a higher
| resolution. However, the real added bonus is the
| powerful Linux Maemo OS. Needless to say, we
| canât wait to get our hands on especially now the
| first full-on reviews are appearing.
