What does Nokia need to do to become relevant again?
,----[ Quote ]
| 3) Ditch Symbian for smartphones: Nokia
| claims that Symbian âdemocratises the
| smartphone marketâ. Theyâre saying that open
| source programmes make their phones more
| customisable and more relevant to a larger
| audience than, say, an iPhone. But Android is
| already by some measures outselling the Apple
| iPhone, itâs already open source and itâs
| already very good, when HTC design with it at
| least. Symbian 4 is, by virtue of its arrival
| later this year, surely not able to be a
| patch on Android 1.6, never mind the newer
| 2.1, and equally poor in comparison to iPhone
| OS3. Whatâs the point in backing the Symbian
| horse? Insiders say forthcoming OS Meego will
| be great. Itâs too little, too late, when
| Android is already streaks ahead and Windows
| Phone 7 Series is on the way. (Iâd love, by
| the way, to be proved wrong, but âthe open
| source OSâ Symbian 4 is currently a secret â
| you can take a look here at Mashable,
| however.

Workshops tackle Qt, Linux, and i.MX development
,----[ Quote ]
| Future Electronics and Nokia will host six

| America on using Linux and Nokia's Qt
| development framework to develop user
| interfaces (UIs) for Freescale's ARM-based
| i.MX system-on-chips (SoCs). Starting in
| Boston on May 18, the workshops will use the
| Freescale i.MX23 SoC as its sample platform.

Frankensteinâs Netbook

| Unless you have a real reason to want XP
| (gamesâ sigh), or OS X on non-Apple
| hardware (gamesâ heh), you really are just
| setting yourself up for a headache down the
| road. Ubuntu installs fast, is very
| straightforward, small and netbook-
| friendly. Oh and there are even
| proprietary games for it these days too.
|
| I look forward to the day when $199 ARM-
| based netbooks with Ubuntu flood the market | ;)
