Last I heard the drivers are having huge incompatibilities so it'd take months before a working Android on HD2 :(

Nothing wrong with having more options available. You can't deny that Android has more 3rd party applications given its greater popularity, although I think Maemo is a fine operating system in itself.]]>May 12th 2010 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/May 12th 2010 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/Says one that hasn't tried both]]>May 12th 2010 2:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/

I used both extensively, I like Maemo better.]]>May 12th 2010 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/I was made to understand that Maemo can install the entire Debian repository (X and what not) so therefore, I think Maemo has more applications, unless you think that there are more Android apps then Debian programs for linux.

But in any case, gross number of apps never impressed me. Didn't we have people whining that there were like a thousand Bejeweled apps on the iPhone store?

What matters is the number of discrete "good" apps, and I don't think anybody has done a study based on that POV, so we can't really claim one platform is better than another solely on this factor alone.

But hey, more power to people. If they want Android, good for them. This why I like Nokia, I don't think they mind what we do with their phones. They are very open on this issue.]]>May 12th 2010 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/May 12th 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/May 12th 2010 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/May 12th 2010 2:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/May 12th 2010 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/That actually made me lol.

1. If you were to define it as poo, it is certainly not its latest
2. It certainly isnt poo, since it is the most powerful OS in the market now for mobile devices.

I think any mobile OS that's been discontinued less than a year after its first implementation, leaving said device abandoned with no upgrade to the new platform mind you, isn't very powerful.

It's the latest that I know of / care to know of. I know there's the N8 but that isn't released. I'm talking only of flagship devices of course, the others are mere fodder. ]]>May 12th 2010 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/
The OS capabilities have nothing to do with it being supported or not. If they stop selling Snow Leopard tomorrow, my MacBook does not lose an inch of functionality.

MeeGo is the next iteration of Maemo, it basically is Maemo 6. Anyone that bought the N900 could have known, as it was communicated extensively, that this device would be an enthusiasts device. Even though Nokia will not bring MeeGo to N900, it is irrelevant as MeeGo as part of Linux Foundation will.

The fodder remark is myopic. ]]>May 12th 2010 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/nokia-n900-running-android-2-1-still-rough-around-the-edges/MODERN Mobile OSes need community support. A mobile OS without a strong userbase that's running on a single device with no future is not a strong Mobile OS, regardless of its capabilities.

My eyes are myopic, maybe that explains some things.

Anyway what are some big devices that were launched after the N900 from Nokia? Because I can't think of a single one. And you can't deny that 50% of their devices are fodder. ]]>May 12th 2010 3:17AM
