At the moment, I prefer to wait for the N900 to be officially available (it's listed as 'Coming Soon' on the local Nokia website). I prefer to get hardware with a warranty. But I may go to that shop to try it out first. Ari Jaaksi appears to imply that MeeGo will be supported on the N900, but I don't know the official word. You can read his latest blog posting [http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/2010/02/n900-meego-and-barcelona.html] and try to read between the lines: ===== The announcement of MeeGo takes N900 even further. Now listen to this: MeeGo has already gotten many more people interested in N900 than Maemo platform alone would have done. I already know many people now gearing up their Qt based application development on N900. Why now? Because now they know it will not be just a Nokia-only thing but will be much wider and thus worth investing in. This means that there will be more applications for N900 owners in the future than there would have been without MeeGo. This is for sure. This is the most important thing for the majority of N900 customers. With MeeGo, Maemo and N900 will only go stronger! ===== Regards, Kam Yung -- Soh Kam Yung my Google Reader Shared links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/16851815156817689753) my Google Reader Shared SFAS links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/16851815156817689753/label/sfas) _______________________________________________ LUGS Mailing list - [email protected] List FAQ: http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq Info page: http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet To unsubscribe send an empty email to: [email protected]
