Star A Look at the Nokia N810

PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless A few months ago Nokia released the third iteration of their Internet Tablet N-series, the N810. This model has some new hardware characteristics, and a brand new version of the Maemo interface. Update: I designed a clean background for you, to be used with the "Echo" theme. Download it here, check out how it looks like here.

Why would qtopia be a good idea? I had a zaurus sl5500 before my N800, and it was a lot more limited. I tried the qtopia 2 image provided by Trolltech, and it was okay, but it had a different abi and zero apps ran on it. Opie etc are *not* qtopia and their apps use a different abi to the qtopiia 1.x line. Qtopia is fragmented and stagnated!!! Legacy apps (qtopia 1.x) require a gcc 2.9x compiler. Bad idea. Then of course Opie uses 3.x iirc, so a lot better off - but out of Trolltech's remit. Not sure what the Trolltech qtopia 2.x uses, but without apps, does it really matter?



Qtopia has reached version 4. Qtopia 1 is 7 years old, and Qtopia 2 is about 5 years old. When the Nokia 770 was released there were no apps for it either, but that didn't stop anything. All Qtopia needs is a big player to put some muscle behind it.

As far as ABI is concerned, a recompile with the correct toolchain would fix that. and BYW, Qtopia 4 compiles with gcc4.
