Thought next tablet will have OMAP3, confirmed from Nokia in the Maemo summit this year and as someone from Nokia said tablets are working as testing ground for Nokia when N810 was released(more clear now when they will be releasing Maemo phones at some point) so i would say that the Maemo phone will have OMAP 3 too.]]>Dec 3rd 2008 4:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/nokia-could-give-linux-a-spin-in-high-end-mobiles/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/nokia-could-give-linux-a-spin-in-high-end-mobiles/Dec 3rd 2008 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/nokia-could-give-linux-a-spin-in-high-end-mobiles/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/nokia-could-give-linux-a-spin-in-high-end-mobiles/Dec 3rd 2008 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/nokia-could-give-linux-a-spin-in-high-end-mobiles/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/nokia-could-give-linux-a-spin-in-high-end-mobiles/
When was windows last fully updated?
Because Ubuntu gets an overhaul every six months.

History lesson
Windows - first released 1985
Linux OS - first developed 1989 (effectively)

There is absolutely no resemblance core vise. There has been several major core rewrites (yes from scratch) and different branches of Windows since the beginning. Look it up on Wikipedia.

I agree though that Linux isn't prehistoric, even though some of the grapical interfaces for Linux may appear so.

"NEVER I would NEVER"
Reminiscent of the cockney phrase "I ain't done nothing" I'm afraid this means the opposite of what you intended.

What you have effectively said is, i would never, not choose apple products over Windows.
Double negative - i would choose apple products over windows.

I don't mean to be a bitch, but this is more entertaining than doing my essay on attitudes towards women in Othello...

Does it really matter what OS it runs? As long as you can have all apps you need, the OS shouldn't be important to end user. In the case Linux is really internal thing of celco vendors.

I'm kind of against even calling the Linux on mobiles "Linux," since it is so heavily customized that there is really little of common between normal embedded system and mobile phones. Oh! - busybox could be the same! As was mentioned many times, OS on mobile phone is about 20% of whole firmware. Rest are custom applications: different networks support, special handling of operator network setups, etc.

P.S. "Just a quick question. Can ubuntu be upgraded from the disc?" Not sure, but since it is Debian and Debian can be upgraded completely from CD/DVD media, then Ubuntu should be too. Check that from official documentation: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-cdrom In older times it worked for sure and Debian releases are specifically tested to be upgradable without network. At least once before I heard that Ubuntu is tested in the same way.]]>Dec 3rd 2008 5:30AM
