Intel's commitment ?
Listening to his spoken presentation of elementary feature self-evidences is probably as painful as he feels having to present them.
Why bring this stuff into open, for everyone to see ? Needs work 6 months, then please come back again and show me please - if this thing is still alive.
Such stupidity.
Geez- this publicity does more harm than good
Besides, the AAVA phone clip has been available for MeeGo enthusiasts for several weeks. By now, something more advanced should already be presented.
If I had a stake or interest in this I would be deeply ashamed for Nokia's and Intel's sake. How childish can a large corp be when they obviously are in not even interested in publicity such as this ?
I mean, Intel probably couldn't care less, considering they go about eg. buying virus protection companies... Maybe next time ice cream parlours, or vacuum cleaner manufacturer, so why not team up with Nokia ? - Great idea, let's do that ! ; )
But it should be in Nokias better interest to support their "iPhone and Android Killer platform" project from becoming almost a laughing matter, like here.
Sorry but Nokia must be one of the world's most stupid enterprises when it comes to marketing.
I don't get it...
Re: tsk
I asked Mr. Speed about how Intel would approach quality assurance and he gave me the impression that nothing was set in stone quite yet. Considering MeeGo is going to tie into both Intel's AppUp client and Nokia's Ovi store, there is potential for conflicting admission standards.
Mr. Speed also hinted at upcoming OEM announcements. That's another big factor in MeeGo's success.
that looked bad...
