It looks like there will be a new version of the OS2007 for Nokia N800 devices in a few weeks. So says Ari Jaaksi, the head of Nokia’s open source operation. What can we expect?
- better Flash performance
- better video performance and quality
- longer usage times i.e. better power management
- fixes here and there
…hopefully! The flash issue is so so important.
But it looks like the Skype and Rhapsody support has slipped. We expected to see these in a March timeframe but they appear in the next wave ‘later this year.’
- updated browser with better WEB 2.0 support and other goodies
- improved multimedia support with more formats supported
- improved package management to better enable sw upgrading
- interesting 3rd party software such as Skype and Real Rhapsody
- more apps & stuff downloadable from http://tableteer.Nokia.com/ (can be accessed with an Internet tablet, only ….)
Ari has a few more notes about the longer term here where he even mentions WiMax! Its good to see Nokia getting into the open-source spirit with open-source plans like this.
