Nokia's N900: a PC in handset clothing

,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia's N900 is, in some respects, the most 
| sophisticated mobile handset to date, offering 
| a complete, desktop-derived operating system 
| in the shape of Maemo 5. Yet, while several 
| major operators have picked up the N900, Nokia 
| is a long way from fully exploiting the device 
| and its software platform in terms of the 
| overall user and developer experiences. This 
| must be addressed if Maemo is to be 
| established as Nokia's high-end platform of 
| choice.

Check Out Sony Ericsson's Android UI

,----[ Quote ]
| Word leaked over the weekend about Sony Ericsson's first Android-powered
| smartphone and it looked like a winner. Well, today we've learned that the
| company will be layering on its own custom user interface on top of the
| Linux-based OS, and it also looks pretty good.
|
| To recap, the smartphone is code-named "Rachael" and it is expected to be the
| next generation in the company's Xperia line. Reports say it will run on
| Qualcomm's zippy 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, and it will have 3D graphics, a
| whopping 8-megapixel camera, and it will be capable of 7.2 Mbps downlink
| speeds.
