Nokia have released a new Linux-based mobile computer/phone device called the N900. It sounds very cool. Here's a quick feature list thrown together from the official site and a few other places:
- 800x480, 3.5" touch-sensitive display
- "Up to" 1GB RAM, 32GB built-in disk, microSD card slot
- slide-out QWERTY keyboard
- Mozilla-engine web browser
- full multi-tasking support (meaning you can run applications in the background)
- GPS (and GeoIP tagging of photos)
- 5MP camera
- Adobe Flash support
- Bluetooth, FM transmitter
- Runs Maemo, an open source Linux-based OS with all the freedom you could want.
- Approximately USD$710
No jailbreaking, no filtered AppStore, root access and software freedom - it sounds pretty good on paper and the actual device looks nice
Maemo 5, the OS it runs on is totally Open Source , this is what sets it apart from the Iphone the most to me, no restrictions on what you install do or change. Its not a smart phone its basicaly a Linux laptop in your pocket, with a Mozilla based web browser and flash support. but it also works as a phone
