Nokiaâs Maemo OS â The next big wave

,----[ Quote ]
| In my view, the Nokia N900 is shaping up to 
| be the beginning of a very interesting ride 
| for many mobile developers, and for many 
| developers that were previously not 
| interested in mobile computing. And for the 
| regular users? Well, they are in for a 
| treat with all the apps that are going to 
| be developed for this device. And I am not 
| talking of simple unit converters, shopping 
| list programs, car fuel consumption 
| trackers, etc. I believe that the level of 
| sophistication and power of the 
| applications that are going to become 
| available for the N900 will be rivaled by 
| no other phone type device in existence. 
| Donât believe me? Well, feel free to skip 
| this wave. But as for me, got to go, surf 
| is up.

Nokia N900: First Look

,----[ Quote ]
| The Nokia N900 has just started shipping
| and there are already a number of reviews
| of the device out on the net. I've had the
| opportunity evaluate a pre-release N900 for
| a few weeks now, and while you can expect a
| full review in an upcoming issue of Linux
| Journal, I wanted to give you a quick look
| into what the N900 is like from the
| perspective of your average Linux geek. If
| you've read any of my previous articles in
| Linux Journal, you'll know that I'm a vim-
| using, mutt-loving sysadmin who spends a
| lot of time on the command line, so
| hopefully I can provide a unique
| perspective on this device.
|
| [...]
|
| If you look at the above list, it's
| essentially the same sorts of things I do
| on my regular laptop. What surprised me the
| most about the device is just how much it
| /feels/ like a regular Debian Linux
| machine, especially on the command line. I
| mean it uses upstart, pulseaudio, apt-get,
| GTK and QT libraries, and when I want root
| I don't have to use hacked firmware, I just
| install the gainroot package and type sudo
| gainroot.

Nokia Finally Releases N900, âTis Exciting But A Bit Late

,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia has finally released its Maemo5 based
| smartphone â the N900. Maemo is Nokiaâs
| next generation mobile OS. It is a Linux-
| based platform that seeks to take on such
| juggernauts as the iPhone OS and the
| Android.
|
| The N900 has intrigued the tech community
| and people in general with its bevy of
| features ever since it was first announce.
| But when you look at it closely enough, it
| seems like it is too little, too late yet
| again. Reminds me of the N97 really.
|
| [...]
|
| The Nokia N900 Maemo5 phone is now on
| preorder from the website for $649.
| Availability is at end of this month
| (November â09). Comes only in Black.
