Forget about IOS/RIM/WP7/Bada/Symbian...
the future will hold a challenge between "MeeGo vs. Android" only
both Linux based OSes are supported on various brands like HTC, Motorola or SE etc... these are opened platforms
and Intel as successful corporation being behind MeeGo is a great thing, this will speedup the recognition of the OS and will get wide support from 3rd parties even faster and better than Android did.
On the CPU front: it's known that faster MHz doesn't mean coding newer programs to take advantage of it like the situation on dual-core, dual-core needs to be reprogrammed and optimized for multithreading just like the case with PC desktops, when you run an unoptimized app you're basically consuming only 1 core of 1Ghz CPU just like on an old snapdragon
so, 1.2Ghz atom vs. 1Ghz dual-core = 1.2Ghz atom WIN on ALL apps and games not only because more Mhz but for its better architecture (Intel's history prove it on both desktops and laptops front).
I have read that N9 will be based on 1.2 Ghz dual-core ST Ericsson platform.
Ex nokian, 20 Jan 2011MeeGoo is doomed in articles by experts.The market is awaiting this os as it has been herald as the os to beat. The only thing that can doom this phone is poor hardware. That too shouldnt be a problem. Even if it comes with just 680mhz proccessor it would be fine. As long as it has a good GPU. A hackers dream, a developers dream. Multi-booting os's like the n900. Developers modding the os to create shells to run on top of the os would also create individuallity. Now thats versatillity!
I can't help but feel that any news piece about Nokia is always more interesting than other news. It always attract lots and lots of lovers, haters, fanboys and even readers who doesn't know anything about OSes. Compare the number of comments it has received to other news.
I think it's unlikely to be an Atom. I have something other in mind... more in my blog: http://eve-c.org/f4w
Mr. Jinks, 20 Jan 2011What about UIQ? That would be cool on a N9 Handset. I got the P1i and I rock all other phones!... moreTrust me, you don't want UIQ! I just sold my Android phone and am waiting for some newer models to crop up. Meanwhile I'm using my old W960i and it is just a pain.
Wow this year is an exciting year for mobile phones.. My next phone will either gonna be Galaxy S2 or a MeeGo phone... We'll wait and see how these phone looks/performs when it releases
MeeGoo is doomed in articles by experts.
AMH, 20 Jan 2011yeah true in a way. Let's hope the battery would be good. Cause Atom is awfull when it come... moreTrue. Thats my concern too. Android is fine were it is now. I think some work needs to go into power management. Nokia has to get that right or it would just be a disaster. I believe that if they get this right, a little pocketable computor wherever you go is a reality. Just what the market needs...what i need!!
Kerkeronus, 20 Jan 2011Damn this thread makes me craaaaazy!
I need clarifications!! I'm currently conducting a study... moresymbian3,4,5.........#=symbianOS
meego=moblin +maemo
UiQ,s40= sony OS/nokia OS low end
Kerkeronus, 20 Jan 2011Damn this thread makes me craaaaazy!
I need clarifications!! I'm currently conducting a study... more- Is Symbian^3 still available?
Yes
- Is Symbian^4 the successor to Symbian^3 or the predecessor to SymbianOS?
Neither. Symbian will have no version numbering anymore, features will be added to the OS as they come, and not in a numbered fashion as ^3 ^4 or ^5. Continuos improvement. (Very good an unique)
- Which kernel does Symbian^3/^4/OS support?
Symbian
- When can we expect Meego?
Q2
- What the hell is UIQ?
Forget it, Ericsson UI on top of Symbian OS. LIke S60 5th was from Nokia
deep space bar, 20 Jan 2011UiQ is symbian just a different UI where can i get that UIQ? I would like to install it on my N8. the current UIQ is ugly and I like UIQ.
404 Not Found, 20 Jan 2011LOL i never said that MEEGO is same as ANDROID . u cant compare them , ANDROID is far better .How can you say that Android is far better if you never used a MeeGo phone? Answer: you're just a stupid Androd fanboy and no one will consider your opinion.
Mr. Jinks, 20 Jan 2011What about UIQ? That would be cool on a N9 Handset. I got the P1i and I rock all other phones!... moreUiQ is symbian just a different UI
Damn this thread makes me craaaaazy!
I need clarifications!! I'm currently conducting a study on this N9 and I got so many information!
Please clarify me on the following subjects:
- Is Symbian^3 still available?
- Is Symbian^4 the successor to Symbian^3 or the predecessor to SymbianOS?
- Which kernel does Symbian^3/^4/OS support?
- When can we expect Meego?
- What the hell is UIQ?
404 Not Found, 20 Jan 2011LOL i never said that MEEGO is same as ANDROID . u cant compare them , ANDROID is far better .the faster android uses a lot of battery juice and doesn't even last for half a day if u play the so called 3d games or on other heavy usage!
What about UIQ? That would be cool on a N9 Handset. I got the P1i and I rock all other phones!
Is UIQ more similar to Symbian^3 or Symbian^4 which is now SymbianOS and therefore not Meego?
xis, 20 Jan 2011some people are funny. They said higher the megapixel better the photo, and were bragging abou... moresame with me doug! Lol, reason I came back from Android was that somethn just didnt feel right. Now no other smartphone OS makes sense te me other than Symbian. The N9 being my next phone, Im worried it might feel cold(like Android did)
Mac, 20 Jan 2011Youre right somewhat. They have eaten into the european market but asia is massive and so is a... moreyeah true in a way.
Let's hope the battery would be good.
Cause Atom is awfull when it comes to battery, bad architecture
Lucia from Spain, 20 Jan 2011Does SPB offer migration from Symbian^3 to this new Symbian^4? I would really like to transfer... moreThere is no S^4 now! It has been scrapped as it was way too similar to S^3. So now only meeGo and S^3 for NOKIA.
