Newer version of MeeGo running on the N900

Advertisements Here’s a video of a newer build of MeeGo, complete with hardware graphics acceleration (or so it would seem 🙂 ) That said, it’s a lot smoother and faster than previous builds we’ve seen before and looks to be coming along nicely.

Well that’s something none of us expected. Given Nokia’s push for MeeGo as their singular high-end solution to compete with (read: crush) iOS and Android and the amount of buzz that has been generated both within and external to the company about this coming OS, it’s rather surprising that one of the most important men […]

Matthew Miller from Nokia Experts and ZDNet has put up a 27 minute hands on with a certain blue Nokia N8. Given that he’s somewhat well-versed in the use of Symbian devices it was a pretty smooth and thorough run-through given the obvious time and format limitations.

It would appear that Anssi Vanjoki has come right out and explained his reason for resigning from the company. Being the utter straight shooter that he is, in a Wall Street Journal interview, he said the following when asked about his resignation “I didn’t become the CEO. It is as simple as that,” I think […]

Ewan MacLeod over at Mobile Industry Review in his weekly newsletter (something I think everyone with mobile technology inclinations should find an interesting  read) put together a very long winded, though rather valid argument as to what mobile operators in their attempts to avoid becoming “dumb pipes” have done wrong and what HE believes they […]

It would appear that post-Nokia World, Mr Dinning, the man in charge of the Camera and imaging features on the soon to be released N8 ( seems like we’ve been hearing that all year!!) has put up a ~140 photo Flickr set of images taken with the N8. The majority are photos that we’ve all […]

The following blog post was dropped into our comments section not long ago and having read it from end to end, I can sincerely empathize with the author and agree almost whole-heartedly with his views.
