sti qui nn capiscono un cazzo mi sa…

Jeebus :
N8 has a separate CPU chip (ARM11) and separate CPU chip (Broadcom 2727).

Typo:
separate CPU chip (Broadcom 2727) => separate GPU chip (Broadcom 2727)

I think you’ve gotten this all wrong. eg. Apples A4 is a SOC which contains a Cortax a8 CPU and a PowerVR GPU.

N8 has a separate CPU chip (ARM11) and separate CPU chip (Broadcom 2727).

Yes Cortex a8 is faster than the ARM 11, but broadcom 2727 is faster than the PowerVR GPU Apple is using in their A4. A4 will be faster in CPU dependend things, but Broadcom 2727 should be faster when doing 3d or image/video processing.

But CPU inside the GPU wtf? learn some basics before trying to comment on a matter you dont understand.

DO U UNDERSTAND NOW???????????????

It’s so true too, management that has made Symbian what it is over the years (For good or bad, successful or not) has of course a strong amount of weight and clout in the company and are going to do their best to keep their jobs. Whether that means at the expense of the consumers best interest we may never know, but obviously one would hope if such decisions were made for the sole interest of job security and it was discovered, said job would no longer be secure at ANY location within the company.

Is that how companies work? Of course not, sadly. But regardless, UPPER management will eventually get hit with the brick walls as their company falls around them, if they continue to do nothing. Not saying this is how Nokia operates of course, but if it IS, eventually things do change as the survival mode is initiated!!

I plan on doing a post on Qt, keep a look out for it.

Great. I hope you specifically address the UI / UX issues I mentioned with multiple OSes. Specifically regarding UI differences, UX differences, interaction differences (resistive vs capacitive / single vs multi-touch), base QT framework maintenance (QT 4.6+, 5.0 for Maemo?), hardware acceleration and etc.

Inacurate :
It’s tricky, and I am sure Nokia has gone over all their options and looked at all this from many more angles than even we can come up with.

Looking at some of the articles posted about how Nokia is run, even if it was presented I’m sure it would have been shot down in seconds. Like any big company Nokia is internally political. Where is all of the revenue and volume? Symbian. Bread and butter for years. I bet middle management and VPs responsible for Symbian have such a death grip on internal politics that anyone mentioning killing S^3 or S^4 will be fired or quickly brushed aside.

Inacurate :

Personally, I would like to see Nokia slim down to one OS. Is it feasible given their current status? ..that is a great question, a touch one I bet. Are they likely to do it? With their interest in Qt, I don’t think so.

They’ll never do it. The problem with big companies is that middle management is no longer interested in what’s best for the customer or what is most competitive. They just want job security and once you have locked in the multiple OS strategy everyone gets to ride the Nokia gravy train to oblivion.

The only way for this to happen is a new CEO that goes in and starts killing projects with no remorse because he has no ties.

They won’t do it.
