RunningWithBulls.com - The curse of Sanfermin

Ari Jaaksi gives a good (but general) roadmap for the Internet Tablet from Nokia (the current new version is N800-nice)

Short term

In a few weeks (I hope) we’ll release a new version of the OS2007 with a
-better Flash performance
-better video performance and quality
-longer usage times i.e. better power management
-fixes here and there
These are still in the owen so wait and see.

Mid term

Then later this year we ‘ll have an
-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 ….)

We want to also strenghten our open source community approach. We need to better articulate, how developers can participate in the development of these devices. Today it happens primarilly in upstream projects, and that will always be the most important way for collaboration. So see you @ GUAGEC, FOSDEM, DEBCONF etc and @ sourceforge etc. In addition, we will improve the usage of our external bugzilla, and study how to push Sardine forward. Also, www.maemo.org will be constantly improved with the help of the developer community.

Long term

Now this gets more difficult. But we’ll work on new software to improve your internet experience. And we’ll get WiMAX.

Nice…plenty to look forward to!
