I'll be back :) i'm not discourraged (i'm working in free software developpement since 1997). I've spend some hours translating meego-ux in french ... and i've subscribe to this list only to know why my tablet with 1.2 (developper preview) makes nothing when i plug my usb key ... and how i can add some pictures to meego, import audio mp3, put some documents to hdd and so on. i'm a software developper so i have an idea (and a solution, i've allready hack udev and so on to use my usb keys) ... but i think file manager will miss ... i've got an answer, thanks But, in a really world with really users, could i ask you "what can i do with a tablet ?" if the answer is only - chat with friends on facebook - send mails on google - chat on MSN ... - view pictures on picasaa - surf the web ... i'm sorry but what a pitty, 500$ for that ? i do the same with 50$ old computer (but no touchscreen) :D meego is really a very very great project, open and free (libre), it means everybody with a good idea could invent some uses of meego, could invent some peace of software ... some news practises, not in closed-world (apple and google one). basics uses of meego-ux lacks (as me and ~10 users here): - full french support (the reason why i'm working on it) - speed-up the interface (cf android 3) - predictive keyboard (maybe already done ?) - hibernation mode - pdf / ebook reader - office support (at least reading doc and odt files) - mp3, avi, x264 (and so on) support -> flash is embedded so why not the others non-free-but-must-have tools (or easy to install after OS-install) ? - someting to copy/move/view my data (sorry, i'm an old guy and i think meego open and free sofware must have a file manager, new users who comes from linux or others os are happy to understand where there data are, not in the cloud, not in hidden partition, meego is an open source project, why users can't look at under the face ?) So there is a lot of work, but very very great apps to become, whe discover the easy "conversion" from Qt desktop apps to meego, for example: http://www.ryxeo.com/IMG/ogg/20110630-nouva_tablette_by_ryxeo_imageo.ogg This is one of our free sofware for primary schools (project here https://redmine.ryxeo.com/projects/leterrier-imageo/repository) and it would be easy to install it on meego devices, some things to modify (opening new windows is a bad idea for example, found solutions for drag&drop ...). And i thing, *this sort of software* could be a real good-future-use for tablet.
