Sebas, you might want to have your client read the following recent review at the amazon.com www site: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1T7KKC62GZ5JZ/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1T7KKC62GZ5JZ and specifically the commentary there regarding the included email client and the difficulty of getting the touch screen to work without a stylus.

Re: N900 $510
Mark, re your point concerning the locked price point of $200 for a high end smartphone, I should point out that that price point has now been breached by Verizon Wireless in the U.S. with their current offer of the Motorola Droid (a quite worthy competitor to the iphone) for $199.00 with a 2 year contract. Here, fyi is the url to the www page for the offer: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirstaction=viewPhoneDetailselectedPhoneId=5069 I am confident that the Verizon Wireless+Motorola Droid offer will put a much bigger hurt on Iphone profit margins (on the iphone product, not the app store service) than the N900 ever will if (or should I say when?) the N900 makes it into the U.S. mobile smartphone market. It does not help Apple Iphone sales and future market share that ATT seems to be considering ways of extracting more revenue from high-bandwidth users of Iphones. That, by itself, could swing users toward Verizon Wireless+Droid and away from ATT+Iphone. I do believe that Nokia, with its current N900 pricing, is attempting to keep too much money in its own corporate pockets under current market conditions including competitive pressures from products like the IPhone and more recently, the Droid, combined with weakened worldwide demand due to the prolonged and very nasty recession.

Re: N900 battery duration
All, for what it is worth. battery charge duration is appearing as an issue with the Motorola Droid as well. I have started using a Droid and I notice that I need to charge it every night, and, if I fail to do that, then the next day it runs low on battery charge. Here is the url to some advice posted on the Verizon Wireless www site concerning battery duration related issues: http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdocid=27662 Of course the Verizon Wireless Droid uses EVDO for Internet access which may be more or less power efficient than HSDPA as implemented on the N900, I am not sure.

But then I wanted to compare its battery life with that of my old phone, so I started using it in a more conservative way: phone calls, text messages, calendar, alarm clock and occasionally as a media player. I also used the camera to take some pictures here and there and I connected to the Internet a few times to read my e-mail or check a couple of websites, but only for a 2-3 minutes each time.

Re: N900/Maemo 5 review
Mark, it was surely a RD cost driven decision for Nokia to not provide a version of Freemantle that would work on the N800 and N810. Of course, technically speaking, they could have done something to provide a back-port to older hardware, even if some Freemantle features had to be suppressed. Obviously, however, the Nokia management team decided that the cost of doing this was higher than the implicit cost to their market place reputation in the opinion of the relatively modest number of users of the older N series internet tablet products due to Nokia dead ending prior versions of the Internet Tablet products. It is an implicit tough luck message to those users from Nokia. Apple itself did this (and made a big mistake in my opinion) in the early 90's when, after converting over to the Power PC processor platform, they dead ended a large and enthusiastic base of converts to initial versions of the the new Power PC based product family, by not backporting the OS to that initial Power PC hardware baseline. I and my family were among those converts (although I had already been using MAC's in business for 10 years by then), and, we have not been back (to Apple) since, although I am often tempted now that Apple has converted to X64 processor architecture.

Re: N900/Maemo 5 review
Gary, your response suggests that the initial release of the N900 will not support HSDPA. If that is the case then it would seem that the N900 will have poor network performance due to a bandwidth limitation when the device is used on mobile networks. I must be misinterpreting your remarks and I find it hard to believe that Nokia would in late 2009 release a product that does supports neither HSDPA nor EVDO. Also is there any built in capability to use the N900 as a tethering device (modem) between, say a netbook (Nokia;s own netbook product perhaps) and a mobile broadband data service such as I have today with my trusty old Windows Mobile handset and my RIM/blackberry.

Re: Getting Easy-Debian to work
Peter, thanks and yes I did some further refreshing of my understanding of what chroot does. I have to assume that the easy-debian app does not modify any of the files in the parent OS/file system while easy-debian is running. Is that correct? One artifact of my having installed easy-debian is that, apparently, the data base which I painstakingly created for the multilist app got blown away somehow. Now I need to see if I can find where multilist normally stores its databases to see if the database is still there or moved somewhere else in the filesystem. Unfortunately and unwisely I did not perform an IT backup prior to doing the easy-debian install. This leads me to think that a great app to have on the IT is one that saves a complete image, say,once a day, of the IT storage contents to a network based storage service such as that provided by Amazon Web Services with their Simple Storage Service (s3).

Here is an interesting take on the impact of the Iphone OS 3.0 feature set on the market: http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal_tech/iphone/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=3I0MJSGXIC4E0QSNDLPSKH0CJUNN2JVN?articleID=215901446cid=tab_art_wire Here, also, fyi is a good summary of the company that Apple (I did not notice it when they dropped the word computer from the company name) is becoming: Two years later, that name change is showing itself to be more than symbolic. Mac sales were down http://apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2009/03/16/mac-ipod-sales-each-down-16-in-february-npd/ year-over-year in February, to according to market researchers the NPD Group. Analysts at Piper Jaffray predicted Apple would sell 2.2 million Macs in the quarter ending this month, along with 10 million iPods. In the two years since the iPhone went on sale, the company sold 30 million iPhones and iPod Touches, including 13.7 million iPhones the past year. Put the numbers together and that means that the iPhone and iPod Touch are becoming Apple's core product line, replacing the 25-year-old Mac as the company's main computing platform, according to Technology Business Research analyst Ezra Gottheil, when I interviewed him on the day of the iPhone announcement. Reading this article led me to a presentation, available at the www page whose url is http://www.informationweek.com/whitepaper/download/showPDF.jhtml?id=61700330site_id=31cid=well1_wp_pertech that was made at Interop 2008 on the Iphone in the business market that had the following interesting comments: iPhone Predictions (from well erexperts) • There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance, It's a $500 subsidized item“ Steve Balmer, CEO Microsoft - April 30, 2007 • “The iPhone will not substantially alter the fundamental structure and challenges of the mobile industry'' Charles Golvin, an analyst at Forrester Research Inc. - January 2007 • “It won't come from the iPhone. Apple will sell a few to its fans, but the iPhone won't make a long-term mark on the industry” Matthew Lynn, Bloomberg - January 15, 2007 • “The only question remaining is if, when the iPod phone fails, will it take the iPod with it” Bill Ray, The Register - December 23, 2006 and from actual users/customers (we wll call these the real experts): iPhone Enterprise Users • The iPhone is a watershed event in mobile computing for corporations “ Todd Pierce, VP Corporate Information Technology - Genentech • “The iPhone has worked effortlessly at Stanford and the user acceptance just astounded us. We have been inundated with orders'' Bill Clebsch, CIO, Stanford University • “ While Apple still has a relatively small share of the corporate smart phone market (5%), the company’s iPhone continues to grab sky-high satisfaction ratings.

Re: [maemo-users] How to pair device with Windows XP SP2 for file transfer?
Andrey/Johan, I should add that the FTP service and server built into Windows Internet Information Server (IIS) is not automatically installed with Windows XP. If you want to install it in Windows XP Professional, log on as a user with administrator privileges and then go to StartControl PanelAdd/Remove Programs.Add/Remove Windows Components and you will see an check box option for installing IIS. I am not sure if this IIS supported on Windows XP Home. An alternative, if you have a Samba client installed on the 770 (an assumption on my part that such a client has been ported to the 770) is to enable a file share on your Windows XP system and use the 770 Samba client to browse to the fileshare.

The 770 requires that a device which it is pairing with has either Dial-up Networking (DUN) or OBEX File Transfer (FTP) profiles in its SDP server. In your case you'd want to have a FTP service record on your windows machine. Why it's not there (maybe you forgot to enable ftp support) or how to get it there I cannot answer (and it also depends on which bluetooth host stack you're running on your PC). You can make the 770 discoverable (until the next reboot) by installing xterm, becoming root and issuing the command "hciconfig hci0 piscan", though that wont help you to get FTP working if the PC doesn't have a service record for it.

Re: [maemo-users] Future features for Maemo Desktop (Task Navigator, Home, Status bar)?
Karolina, although it does not relate specifically to the desktop, and in addition to recommendations that I have made previously, I offer the following suggestions for improvement of the 770 for consideration by Nokia. While reading this thread I discovered to my surprise that a bluetooth headset is not already supported so that should certainly be added to the feature set, especially given the plan to support VOIP. EVDO and HSDPA wireless support should also added as an optional feature. This may require of course a new hardware release which supports one of the cardbus formats on which the EVDO and HSDPA cards can be obtained. By way of example, here is the url to a www page at the Linksys www site that shows the new form factor, in this case for a gig-e card, that goes under the marketing name of "ExpressCard Adapter" http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2childpagename=US%2FLayoutcid=1147850020524pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper Best Regards, Best Regards, John Holmblad Televerage International Karoliina Salminen wrote: Hello everybody, I am now collecting some ideas for future development of the UI framework.

Re: [maemo-users] Next revision of 770 hardware - any idea when it willbe available?
Jason, thanks for you insights and, as a matter a fact, after further consideration prior to your response I concluded that your interpretation is the more logical one. I have been testing an ARM emulator that Microsoft now distributes primarily, but not only for developers of Windows Mobile 5.0 software. It is nice because you can run it without having to also install/run Visual Studio. It is great for conducting quick tests of the plethora of WM apps out there whether of the no-cost or of the try before you buy variety, This way you can test out the apps with running the risk of hosing your "real machine". I have not tried to do so myself but I would be curious to know what would happen if the Nokia sw for the 770 were installed on the Microsoft ARM emulator. I have to assume that the emulator is agnostic with respect to the actual target ARM processor (e.g. Intel, TI, etc) to which the OS has been compiled. Of course the emulator is not going to have any specialized HW (e.g. DSP) beyond what is standard for the Windows Mobile 5.0 environment. Actually the problem with the emulator is that, like the VMWare VMWare player, there is no provision for creating a Virtual Machine image, at least as far as I know, not having read the manual for the emulator if in fact there is manual.

Re: [maemo-users] Next revision of 770 hardware - any idea when it will be available?
Title: Best Regards, Devesh, your point is well taken. But what puzzles me is that with Nokia's formidable capabilities with respect to handset and related consumer products manufacturing, why is there not by now a broader family of 770 products that all take advantage the ongoing growing investment in software. The PDA market has been characterized by a very high rate of innovation/improvement in hardware and it is common for a new revision of a manufacturer's hardware baseline to occur at 18 month intervals or less. I realize that the 770 at least right now seems to be targeted to a very specific market niche (I have yet to see someone pull one out at a meeting or conference here in the U.S.) so it may be that the slow uptake of this product has caused Nokia to hold back on implementing an aggressive hardware upgrade roadmap. One factor I think that holds back this product is price. As with many consumer goods there is a price elasticity of demand for this kind of product and right now the price is well above that which is necessary for product sales to take off to the point where you actually see lots of people caring one of these around. If the price gets down to $150 or less then you may see people having several of these things laying around the house for convenient www browsing, remote (RDP/VNC) access into the home network, serving as remote controllers for Microsoft Windows and other media center systems, as well as control of home environmental/security/irrigation/lighting systems. In that sense the product could be repositioned as the "Home Network Intranet Tablet" or something like that. At the right price they could even take market share from some of the purpose specific providers on touch-screen products for high end home entertainment systems (e.g. Crestron and others) most of whom by now are using Linux any in their embedded OS environments. Here by the way is the url to some recent commentary from Ari Virtanen, vice president of convergence products at Nokia on what they are considering for future hardware revisions: http://news.com.com/2100-1044_3-6086747.html?part=rss If Ari or his team are listening on this thread then I say to him/them, don't wait for WIMAX, but get on with the next revision of hw soon, as in 6 months or less to address the deficiencies in the current hardware baseline! By adding a expresscard slot (assuming there is room) and a USB interface the product would be able to accommodate almost any external device supporting one or the other interface including a future WIMAX client card that should be available in the market in the next 6-12 months. Also, how about a wall/desk mount cradle for the device so it can be charged when it is not in use?

It runs fast enough that I can stream audio from a live radio www site through IE + Media Player on the emulated device over to the host OS and play it out on the speakers on the host OS without any noticeable stuttering. The payload measured by Media Player in this case is ~22kbs. I have also installed and tested a SyncML client from Funambol on the emulator.

When I finally was able to get a hold of a sales rep (the store was sparsely populated with such folk at ~5:30 P.M. local time) he did at least know what the price was.

Title: Best Regards, Igor, I think that is one reason why the standard configuration only turns on one radio on the device at a time, although I understand there is a registry hack to surmount that limitation at the expense of higher battery drain. And think of the possibilities. If you could find a way to turn the 802.11 into Access Point mode, you could then offer impromptu WIFI access and bridge users WIFI to the mobile provider's EVDO broadband data service. Of course the mobile providers would not like that and, no doubt, have prohibitions against such muxing in their acceptable use agreements. And for this device, at least, I don't even think they support/allow bridging a single laptop via bluetooth or WIFI, but that may change.

Re: [maemo-users] news reader and wpa2 queries
Gary, I don't have a 770 yet otherwise I would have already tested the exact scenario you describe, that is, the 770 to an AD integrated IAS radius server. Two years ago I did extensive analysis and testing of various permutations of hw and software (mostly Microsoft) with and without WPA using IAS for Radius service and I documented that work in a paper available at the following url: http://www.sans.org/rr/whitepapers/honors/ I recall spending a fair amount of time in the system, security, and application event logs, and the IAS logs at the same time in order to get IAS and PEAP-MSCHAP V2 working with my test access point which is a Proxim AP-1000. If you would like to correspond off list and provide some more detailed log info I can look into it and, in the process, refresh my memory of the details of how it works. I would be surprised if Nokia would even release a product that by design AND testing would not work seamlessly with Microsoft AD integrated IAS and 802.11 wireless support so maybe someone else on this list has a solution to your problem.

[maemo-users] How about a XM Radio browser App?
All, for any XM radio subscribers either in the US or, starting a few weeks ago, Canada, here is the url to a www site that works with Pocket PC and launches WM player so you can listen to the Internet accessible XM radio channels (a subset of the full channel set). It would be interesting to build a version that works with the N770. From what I can tell, the www site is downloading an browser app to the PPC which allows it authenticate to the XM radio streaming server with credentials input by the user, launches WM Player and points/directs the content stream to the player. Here is the url to the www page for the main www xstream xm site http://www.xstreamxm.com/ and here is the url to the www page to which to point your PPC browser (IFF you have one): http://www.xstreamxm.com/mobile I tested it with a Dell Axim X5 with WIFI and it works fine. If you navigate to the www site you will see that there are two speed options. I assume that the www site is downloading some kind of script to the PPC IE. I have no idea at this point of what kind of Digital Rights Management lock, if any, is on the content stream. What would it take to get a version of a www page that would work with the N770? I should also mention that XM radio has for some time had a free 3 day trial of their Internet based service.

Re: [maemo-users] USB Storage?
Mark, I share your frustration. Furthermore, with the all of other technologies available on the market at the current price range of the 770, and MIT working on the holy grail of the $100 laptop (albeit w/o wireless) I am beginning to think the 770 may be overpriced by a large margin. For this kind of product there is considerable price elasticity of demand and at $150 - $200 US or so it could be quite a hot product.
