my update via OTA seems smooth. nothing affected. luv digi

Go to system, settings, profiles

As I follow the meego-dev mailing list, maemo6 is just share the same API as meego, but it is not equals to meego.


The essence of same API means,

App developer need not worry about the transformation from maemo core to meego, as the application is created on top of the standard API shared by both maemo6 and meego.


I think MeeGo will still have a long way to go (perhaps a year?) before it is implemented in a commercial product.


Google tells that the "MeeGo" LG phone is actually a atom-powered moblin phone. If you check carefully, you will notice MeeGo stays conceptual for the mean time.


In simple conclusion, MeeGo will be the upcoming platform, but not now, or in the next few months.

Added on February 18, 2010, 1:59 amI think the formula has been too simplified

maemo and moblin both rooted under a different architecture. however, I guess what they going to do is to port whatever needed for meego.

From the mailing list, I do see that their start-off base is moblin instead of maemo

Their differences are warranty and price

the rest should be the same.

an average use of the phone with 3g should be a day. expect less if you use gps or heavy 3g usage.

since it's a phone with lots of computing power. it's hard for you to measure objectively, as everyone's usage varies much as compared to other ordinary phones


it should last you out for whole day and perhaps when you reach home you need to charge it.

for me, i always carry a spare battery around. I learned this habit when I bought my i780 as it comes with a spare battery and desktop charger

was quoted by one of the seller here for original Nokia DC-6 microusb car charger for RM70 still thinking whether to buy or not...

it's doesn't gives you turn by turn voice navigation right?

it's hard to turn back once you get the hang of garmin. I won't deny that

Ya... me too.. should we sue maxis?

Enjoy

maybe he really authentic innocent and thought his telco charged him while he uses wifi. perhaps you're right that something was activated while he's not on wifi

As what I understand... there's no option to add location!!

I guess there's some activities going on background (I'm using nokia messaging) when you switch on Digi Internet. Hence, battery life of course will be reduced. Normal working days, my phone able to last the entire working hours with constant emails coming in and some calls.

My problem faced is that I usually fully charged my phone the night before, and hence it does drain my phone a bit when I was sleeping. So what I do usually is to switch it to GSM (2G) before I sleep.

Secondly, for nomal usage, GSM does use lesser battery than 3G. In addition, I guess viewing email and upload one or two photo using 2.5G (EDGE) is ok lah

I guess regardless whether Nokia will stay on with DEB architecture or not, the maemo community will continue bullish and support N900 for quite sometime until it is no longer worthy to be supported

That's the fun of Open Source community.

i think is to identify the differences between iPhone OS, Symbian, Android and Maemo.

iPhone is a stripdown version of OSX with underlying BSD architecture. It is optimised to be a single tasking machine. Hence it has the benefit of *nix blood but behave like a infant if we compare single tasking vs. multitasking machine.

Symbian from day 1 has been designed/developed as a mobile platform. Hence it will not be easy to transform it to a mini computer platform. Frustration from N97 and various E series users are actually caused by the over expectation of this platform - to behave like a mobile computer instead of a mobile platform.

Android is a stripdown version of linux with the right intention to create a mobile platform but with minimal emphasis as mobile computer. Hence you can see the direction of android that focuses more on selective mobile platform eg. phone, ebook reader, media layer etc.

Maemo instead went with a different direction. Though it was an initiative to develop a mobile platform which many says was created to replace the ailing Symbian platform, it shares a different philosophy of how mobile computing should be. Instead of stripping features of OS to fit into a mobile platform, maemo creates a mobile platform that is similar if not same with desktop computing. One best example would be its native web browser that runs just like an ordinary desktop web browser, which is a first in mobile computing. Many of its application are recompiled from debian based architecture, where developer can easily port the application over with modifivation on UI to make it mobile-friendly.

I guess the above shows maemo has a different approach in defining what is mobile computing and that is the reason why I own a N900 - because i've been wanting so long to have a mobile computer that is comparable with its desktop counterpart. maemo did it.

iPhone OS, Symbian, Windows Mobile did not.

A sharing via my N900 riding on DiGi

Yup... I'm using it to msn, gtalk and fb select EDGE instead of 3G to prolong battery usage it does make lots of difference

EDGE? Just click on the clock time area and select "GSM".

Cheers

For you

There's a direct port of google pinyin (super delicious) for maemo - known as mscim-googlepinyin.

Do take note after you install this plugin, it will disable auto-cap for first alphabet automatically.

I had it once when I cancel some updates. But I can't recall what exactly I did. It's related to disabled the repository, clean it and then reenable it
