The first information on Maemo 6 direct from the Maemo Summit.

  I’m in and seated at the opening session of Maemo Summit 2009. There are 400 people behind me just desperate to get hands on with the N900 and to find out more about Maemo. What a great buzz! 0945: Peter Schneider. Head of Maemo Marketing will open in a few mins and then introduce Ari Jaaksi, VP of Maemo Devices for the opening keynote at about 10:30 (+30 mins) I don’t plan to live blog everything but you’ll get the  important announcements here. (While you’re waiting you can read […]

The Maemo Summit starts tomorrow but I was lucky enough to get an early look at the N900 this evening, to watch a presentation from Nokia and to ask some questions about the N900 and Maemo.

Remember that hot upcoming touchscreen swivel netbook that was totally going to bring forth the era of the tablet-netbook? Yeah, you know that one that was topping the Portal popularity charts for some time several months back? Yeah, that one! The Asus Eee T91. This device is nearing the anniversary of its announcement and has yet to hit the market in sufficient numbers (we reported on the T91 back at the beginning of January!).

I received an S7 from Viliv a few weeks ago [unboxing and live session] and because of some commitments (and a white leather case that I wasn’t too keen on taking to the coffee shop!) I gave it to my Wife to test. To my surprise, she’s absolutely loving it and hasn’t used her laptop since. It looks like the S7 could be one for the ladies! I’ve asked her to put some words together after her first two weeks and she’s just sent me this. Don’t forget, English is […]

My mobile tech interest feels reinvigorated, thanks in part to the recent efforts of Archos. You may recall my recent article about Apple causing me to lose my faith in other tech companies. But after seeing all of the recent fun that Chippy seems to be having with the Android based Archos 5 [Portal page], I must say that thinks are looking up in my mind. Simply put, the Archos 5 looks like a substantial contribution to the MID field, rather than another stab in the dark from a clueless […]

Talk about being put on the spot! Just hours after the announcement of the Intel Atom Developer Program, Ajay Mungara, the Community Manager for the program, asks me about the type of applications we might see on netbooks, the compelling use cases and a ton of other stuff that really made me think quickly and deeply. 14 minutes of brain-drain! Hope you enjoy it. And please, let me know what you think of the Intel Atom Developer Program. Do you think it will take off? If not, why not?

Nokia are leading into the Maemo Summit with a fresh marketing push this week. I’ve already heard that there’s a press event tommorow evening and at the same time I see that they have released a very impressive video showing details on the browsing performance.
