Just about a week after PR1.2 hit globally, a lot of users have been able to officially update their N900’s. Some for the worse, the majority for the better. Unfortunately, along with all the bugfixes and improvements that PR1.2 brought, some things were overlooked and others caused popular applications (that had not been updated using [...]

If there is one complaint that I hear about the N900 more than anything else, it’s that there is a lack of apps for the device and the Maemo operating system as a whole. Thanks to Apple and their “There’s an app for that” ad “campaign” (more like assault), the focus has been taken off [...]

So it looks like someone got tired of waiting for Nokia to release the long awaited (and arguably much needed) PR1.2 for the N900 and leaked it to the interwebs. Late last night, firmware build ‘RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.12-9_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM’ could be found on torrent and filesharing sites all over the web and many users (this writer included) have [...]

Another month, another N900 firmware update. If you thought that Nokia was going to leave the N900 to twist in the wind after the announcement of MeeGo, you were wrong. Yesterday, the PR1.2 SDK was released by Maemo and user MohammadAG posted the changes he was able to identify including a new virtual keyboard, the [...]

So after 4 months, a few firmware updates and endless number of hacks, tweaks, plugins, applications, scripts, alphas and betas created by the vast Maemo (or is it MeeGo) developer community, we have to wonder what’s next for the N900.
