Nokia N900 review

| Perfect for Linux developers with deep
| pockets, but despite great performance and
| an intuitive OS, it's not suitable for
| consumers who want a wide selection of
| apps and easy updates.

MVTec embedded software runs on Nokia mobile phone
,----[ Quote ]
| MVTec claims that tests have proven that
| image-processing applications based on
| HALCON can be successfully built for the
| Nokia N900. Applications are first
| developed with HALCON running on a PC. The
| exported code is then compiled for the
| Nokia N900 to allow the application to run
| on this mobile platform and access the
| full functionality of HALCON.

| Open stacks based on Linux, Qt and similar
| tools are in a much better position simply
| because more people and companies can
| participate and therefore create a larger pool
| of shared resources that is hard to impossible
| for a closed platform to match without joining
| in. (Let's not forget that S60 is opening up,
| either, and bringing Qt along with it too.) I
| don't know what the ultimate role Maemo itself
| will play in all of this, but in an open
| ecosystem it doesn't need to be IKotH to be
| successful either, anymore than any of the
| Linux distributions need to be IKotH in the
| server space for server side Linux to
| flourish.

Review: Nokia N900
,----[ Quote ]
| Nokiaâs N900 is not a phone, OK. Well, it is a
| phone, in that it has a SIM slot, and you can
| use it to make voice calls. And it supports
| HSDPA and has a front facing camera so you can
| make video calls. But actually it is more a
| mini computer than a mobile phone.
|
| The N900 runs a new operating system, Maemo 5,
| which is based on Linux and so is open to
| application development by third parties. No,
| Symbian isnât going away, and no, it doesnât
| look as though Nokia will push out a slew of
| Maemo-toting devices during 2010, but yes,
| Nokia does think there is a place for very
| high end, very capable mini computers with
| telephony. And the N900 is its way of showing
| us that.
