Is it possible to get an official or semi-offical word on this?
Yes, this is what has happened:
- As Carlos Guerreiro has pointed out previously, there are no
plans to
make any new official release for the 770. There is the IT OS hacker
edition, but it's not official and the official development in
Nokia is
currently focused in the maemo 3.x, IT OS 2007 and what is coming
next.
This means that from our side there is no official 770 bug activity.
I appreciate your explanation. I'm curious, though - how does this
fit with Dr. Jaaksi's January statement about the 770, "Nokia
supports it fully"?
I don't want to sound like I'm playing with semantics, but I consider
new official releases to be part of support for a device. When I read
Dr. Jaaksi's statement in January, I interpreted it to mean that
Nokia intended to produce a new official release of the OS - most
likely 2006.
So, I guess I'm asking this:
1. Was Nokia's intention in January to continue working on a new
official release for the 770, but something came up that prevented
it? (Trouble fixing some of the bugs, testing issues, reduced
manpower, etc. etc. - any number of reasonable and understandable
things could've happened)
or,
2. Does full support not include software bug fixes?
In case anybody is rusty about what was said:
http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/2007/01/were-getting-some-feedback-and-
weve-got.html
Please don't misunderstand. I think the 770 is a very nifty device,
and I've really enjoyed working on it. I'm just unhappy at the way
that support appears to have ended without any actual advance warning
or overlap between the new device and the previous one.
