    I wish the new firmware for my phone is launched soon.... They brought a very nice devkit, but you cant run programs you built yet since it compiles for the unreleased firmware



    Nah not much risk with rooting. Similar to jailbreaking. Might be a little touchy on a device with network operator custom ROM's but I plan on buying factory unlocked anyway.

    Is the N900 still waiting on 1.2?

    Hopefully they get up to 2.0 before they jump ship to meego? I have saw meego running on an N900 without a GUI.
  2. Dont understand why they dont come jailbreaked out of the box

    Still waiting for 1.2 yes. An alpha version was leaked, but havent tested that one yet. Dont miss much. There are just one or two bugs i have seen once in a while. One is that the thumbnailing services hangs on certain AVI files. This drains the battery enormously. Worked around it by using another video player.

    Also the browser has some quirks, flash performance is a bit poor. Switched to Opera 10 Mobile this week, realllllllly good browser. Thought the standard one was fast.

    PR 1.2 will bring some new functionality as well, enabling video calling (and the frontcam) and some small features. Major update of PR 1.2 is that it ships with the new Qt framework, the framework apps are built in for Symbian, Maemo and Meego. It is even possible to develop for those 3 + Windows fairly easily.

    Dont think the N900 will get a PR 2 though. Think we'll have (a workable) Android 2.1 for N900 sooner But it doesnt really matter since the whole system is pretty moddable. Root access is very easy and lots of linux apps are ported. For example KMplayer.
  3. N900 with android 2.1. Drool
  4. It just boots, no drivers for radio chipset yet:



  6. Yeah me too Pretty cool, should be easier on the N900 though, since they both use a 'same generation' linux kernel. But I think there is relatively little interest for it compared to the iPhone.

    Hope Nokia's Ovi store takes off when apps can run easily on all their systems. Now it is pretty sad for maemo. Luckily the repositories of the community are pretty active.

    My next phone may be Android, unless Meego takes a good share.
  7. the Ovi store is technically taking off (1.7 million downloads a day) but it's mainly all java crap.

    Problem with developing for Nokia though is the amount of devices and with that the amount of form factors, hardware specs and resolutions etc. A bith to develop for where as iPhone is 1 device fits all and Android is all touch with only some minor resolution differences.
  8. Agree, but the new devkit is a step in the right direction

    Also i dont understand why they dont concentrate on 1 OS. When PR 1.2 is out i will try to think of a u2start related app to develop, since i have little creativity to come up with something original

    Crap indeed, not only because some of it is Java but compared to Apple and Android..they offer a lot more apps. A lot.
  10. I think my computer is dying running fairly slow these days so I've backed everything up just in preperation for the worst :/ one problem I can't seem to get the hang of is that iTunes always comes up with an error message while I'm syncing my iPod and closes down, this has resulted with only bits and pieces of my library, I have one song off War and no Joshua Tree any ideas what I could do? Apart from buy a new computer, budget ain't stretching for that just yet
  11. Sorry double post

    Re-install Windows or whatever you're running. Or a system clean up. Loads of data can cause slow processing. How old is your pc?
