Oh, that's too bad.. Already in love with the phone

AFAIK both Atom and ARM based procs are designed for low powered devices with low power consumption in mind...but Atom procs are way power hungry than ARM based ones...sourcing from here it is shown that Atom procs consume bout 2 watt of power while ARM ones usually consume around half a watt...besides ARM procs are very efficient...dats y it can be used without a fan or heatsink

Im not skeptic on the idea of using Atoms procs on a handheld...and Moblin is looking quite good too...but lets wait n see what Intel hve under their hood regarding the power consumption of the Atom procs...they can clock it down to 800 mhz to decrease the power usage

BTW am I the only one who thinks that Moblin 2.1 looks quite the same as Maemo 5 lol

I'm one of Nokia fans in facebook. Recently got this wall from Nokia

If im not mistaken there will be quite a num of apps available via the repo on the N900...not to mention some of great apps from the N800/ N810 days was already ported over to maemo 5 such as gPodder (podcast manager), RSS reader (also intergrated with the web browser), Mauku (Jaiku/ Twitter client) n Transmission (torrent client) to name a few. There also apps from Nokia as well such as Ovi Maps (although in mobile- review.com review its performance not matches its s60 counterpart) n Bounce (game). But as I said earlier there will be quite a number of apps provided on the repository n the num is increasing steadily

Wow that was fast.
Is the product mature enough to go out in the world?

Apparent yes, from the looks of it. Anyway, some other leads indicate it will be release around end of October, tentatively that is.



Multitouch support will come out on Maemo 6. Yes pinch gesture support. However not on this device as the screen is resistive touch.

COME GUYS LET COMPARE N900 AND SATIO....
WIC DO U PREFER?
AS FOR NOKIA FANS DEFINITELY WILL GO FOR N900.. SAME GOES FOR SATIO FOR SE FANS
WHIC DO U PREFER BETWEEN DIS 2 MAIN RIVALS ^^

Satio works on symbian (s60v5), while n900 on maemo. another OS to consider is winmo. This is one strong competitor to those two :
