Anybody still worried there won't be enough cool apps for N900?]]>Oct 7th 2009 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/
1. A good GPS Nav App w/ Turn by Turn Directions and Voice prompts.
2. Good FB and Twitter clients. (and not just websites in the built-in browser.)
3. Calendar app that supports multiple calendars and syncing to GCal.
4. Good IMAP mail client. (w/ push support would be even better.)

Emulators are nice, no doubt, but I need my device to be more than a toy.

I'm not knocking the device (I used to be big Nokia fan).]]>Sep 30th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/Sep 30th 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/2. I know that several are in the works by independent developers, but I wouldn't be surprised to see something officially released by Nokia either at launch or shortly thereafter.
3. I believe this is already in place with the current calendar program.
4. The current mail program handles IMAP very well and you can use the Mail for Exchange to support push gmail.]]>Sep 30th 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/
1,2 and 4 will be taken care of by Nokia sooner or later, and going by what happened to N770 and N800/N810, its going to happen. 2 will be taken care of by the community]]>Sep 30th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/

oh and there aren't any development restrictions for the maemo platform, unlike apple's iphone os...

Thanks for the compliment. To quote Dattebayo, "We take internet seriously"

I didn't know Nokia had put proprietary binaries, so thanks for telling me, but sooner or later it will be hacked. Hell, Nokia might even Open-Source Maemo like it did with Symbian (I hope they do)]]>Sep 30th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/
Unfortunately, (except for the understandable worry about battery charging) the fault isn't Nokia's. It's the 3rd-party vendors they have to rely upon like Broadcom, Imagination Technologies and TI. Fortunately, Nokia has a proven track record with getting vendors to open up (the STLC45xx specs from STMicro, OMAP3's improved openness from TI, etc.).]]>Sep 30th 2009 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/
Anyone have any ideas on Nokia Open-sourcing all the binaries except really low-level parts in which a bug might brick the phone?]]>Sep 30th 2009 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.google.com/mobile/android/privacy.html]]>Sep 30th 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/Sep 30th 2009 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/
N900 is looking better and better as my next phone/gadget. Pity about the three-row board though, and lack of D-pad.

There's much more difference on the input side; on one hand, the N900 hasn't so much as a single phone-style d-pad, so it needs a Wiimote, USB gamepad, or similar for hardcore classic gaming, but OTOH, the Pandora lacks accelerometers and direct 3G access.]]>Sep 30th 2009 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/video-snes-runs-beautifully-on-n900-makes-out-hearts-flutter/Oct 1st 2009 6:59AM
