Nokia Communicator series are the one to use Symbian OS initially.

All the Internet Tablet series used Maemo.
N770 - OS2005 aka Maemo & OS2006 aka Maemo 2
N800 - OS2007 aka Maemo 3
N810 - OS2008 aka Maemo 4 & Diablo aka Maemo 4.1
N900 - Maemo 5

There are 2 reason why Maemo project lasted this long : 1) Due to the open source nature 2) Excellent support from Maemo community

As Andy said MeeGo is not just Nokia's project but also collaboration between multiple company.There are still future for it outside Nokia.
LG has expressed their wish to develop handset device based on MeeGo.Let's see how things goes after MeeGo 1.3 released.
MeeGo is still viable OS.Whatever done in MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan can be done in "official" MeeGo.Just matter of interested parties making resources so people can make great UI like Harmattan's.

Anyway aside from handset MeeGo have other targets.
Unlike Android which is targeted as mobile OS,MeeGo has multiple target since it's inception.
Intel has vision to have a single core OS but with multiple UX which can be used for multiple type of devices like in vehicle drive,handset,netbook,tablets & plenty more.
In a way this has much more potential to be a complete OS compared to Android.You can see that Google is slightly struggling to to make Android 3.X as polished as Android 2.3X for handsets.
But yes,in order for the potential to be realized Intel need another strong partner.

Whether it's MeeGo Harmattan or MeeGo is not a big issue.Both the API's are compatible & Harmattan can do pretty much do what MeeGo want to do just with different UI.
If the different file packaging is 1 one scaring some then it's not a major issue because since the Harmattan API is compatible with MeeGo API you can just chuck the source code in Community OBS & it'll produce rpm packaging.
I think this blog post pretty much sums up MeeGo Harmattan - http://flors.wordpress.com/2011/06/26/the-...-1-2-harmattan/

Developers device recipients already been announced.I have to say majority of them are worthy recipients who contributed a lot for Maemo users.I'm still unsure whether MohammadAG got the N950 but he sure deserve it for the work he did with Maemo 5.
Some of the developers projects bit funny but we'll see how it turns out later.Hopefully when N9 is announced the users will have all the basic applications covered & with some extra fun applications.

I really wish Nokia will put some appropriate price for N9.I love all Nokia's Internet Tablets.My very 1st encounter with NIT's is when my cousin bought Nokia 770 when I was in secondary school.Having seen multiple guys using N800 & N810 made me kinda jealous.So it was bit dream come true when I finally managed to get my hand on N900.I'll hate it if the price of N9 is too high & I can't afford it...
Perhaps Nokia can give special discount for any of the internet tablet's owners?

My bad, I did not realized there were more ancient Internet tablet from Nokia.

N900 with it's smaller screen size also considered tablet? Not smartphone?

Initially Maemo don't support sim card.The sim card & phone functions were only added in Maemo 5.
Hence why it was called internet tablets.

770 was launched in 2005 if I'm not mistaken.So in a way Nokia got into tablet market way before Apple or Google but with unpolished product.

how much this phone??

First In First Out

Ah well...It was meant to be Nokia's pet project to save their sorry @$$es from Apple but you know the fiasco after Elop took over...
At least MeeGo/Maemo in Nokia will die a glorious death.

Added on July 3, 2011, 1:24 amSeriously I'm not getting what Elop is planning.He keep on closing stores,sell/outsource Nokia's software/OS,fire workers,letting some good talents go,announcing that Nokia will share it's software with other WP7 OEM & practically telling people not to buy N9.

Is he even has any plan to make Nokia return to higher profit?

I won't be surprised if when everyday he comes to his office there were people asking "Dude,do you know WTF are you doing?"

There was a saying:
Send someone in, attack from the inside, bring it down, then... when the time is right, TAKE OVER.

Seems pretty serious?

"Microsoft, which is Nokia’s primary software partner, could easily buy the company and is often mentioned as a suitor."

Elop...Epic,Legend.trojan horse so obviously.aiks...i want anssi vanjoki back.

Windows always been plagued by virus/worm/trojan problems.
Maybe this this Microsoft found a real life usage of trojan horse tactics from there.

You think after saving the company's face multiple time & been promised the top job but in end dumped unceremoniously for an incompetent fool Vanjoki will still want to come back?
I don't think so.
Also Elop's plans already been executed.I don't think anyone can reverse the deal with microsoft now.

I understand now why American always make fun of Canadians.They are idiots.

Well, all this is part of the cost cutting measure to reduce overhead. I think closing stores is a brilliant move. Unlike Apple, none of the brands can keep selling their phones at SRP throughout the year which is why I think not having store actually benefits them.

Nokia might be going for tighter integration with carrier to promote their phone.

where is vanjoki now?i email him.lol.

The last time I heard of him - he was playing golf...

let him know hatred,disappointment etc etc.

He probably sitting in his home now sipping nice wine while thinking "sucks to be you now,homie" on Elop.

whole world cursing elop.probably the "best" CEO ever.epic n legendary.

Well,Nokia must have high confidence on Elop.
During OPK's tenure when the Nokia stock crashed nearly 45% he got booted out.
Elop did the same thing in 9 months but his job is still secured.

because Elop handsome.

Please...he looks like a girl...
