#Jolla Trying Again To Develop A New #SailfishOS #Linux #Smartphone
Finnish company Jolla started out 14 years ago where Nokia left off with #MeeGo and developed Sailfish OS as a smartphone platform. Sailfish supported a number of Sony Xperia and a variety of OnePlus / Samsung / Google / Xiaomi devices and more maintained by community. Last year Jolla also announced an "AI computer" as part of the AI hardware craze. They are trying again at their own in-house smartphone.

@ipg Thinking about the design lineage of the Lumia 800, I guess it makes sense: the body is basically the #Nokia #N9 - which was all screen - so put the overlay on and keep the screen the same.

Ich denke, dass es nicht so sehr an den Händlern liegt.

Das #Nokia #N9 mit linux-basiertem #Meego-Betriebssystem gab es damals auch bei Saturn und Mediamarkt, obwohl Nokia es offiziell gar nicht in Deutschland vertrieben hat.

Die Probleme beginnen vorher.

A bit of #computinghistory : part 3 of "20 years of Linux on the desktop".

When mobile started to disrupt desktop computing…

@coffeebean
#SailfishOS basiert z. T. auf #Meego, dem Linux-basierten OS, das #Nokia entwickelte als sie von #Microsoft übernommen wurden, d. h. es ist kein #Android . Dennoch gibt es die Möglichkeit Android-Apps auszuführen.

Von #Jolla , dem Hersteller aus werden da leider nicht so viele Geräte unterstützt (https://docs.sailfishos.org/Support/Supported_Devices/). Es gibt zwar community ports für sehr viel mehr (https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/community-hardware-adaptations/14081), aber die sind teils unvollständig und manchmal fehlt die Android-App-Unterstützung.

I really hope #google don't mess up the #chromebook experience by making it into a failed #android device. Much like the #Meego OS many years ago. Right now the overall experience, except for the number of app stores is generally very good. Fast, responsive, stable and hassle free.

@danct12 #Nokia did a (soft) launch party for the #N900 at the BFI on the South Bank in London in September 2009.

lcuk had had a prototype, so we were able to do a cool demo: https://youtu.be/yk27PenpAz0

_EDIT:_ I note wryly that Nokia's blog post about this is now on the #Microsoft website: https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2009/09/04/n900-to-appear-in-london-next-week/

In the late 90s/early 00s I used the #Handspring visors for a while (Deluxe in blue followed by Edge in silver)

Next were the Nokia internet tablets running #maemo, including the #NokiaN950 (#meego harmattan)

Also the Nokia communicators, including the #NokiaE90

More recently rocking a #GPDpocket, but that's out of scope for this poll.

@mhoye Don't be.

#Meego was #Intel's successful attempt to embed-extend-extinguish on #Maemo.

Having good #Linux #OS for #ARM is not a good business model to sell more #IA chipsets.

Am 3. September 2013 kündigt Microsoft die Übernahme von Nokias Kerngeschäft an. Es folgt ein Milliarden-Desaster, das abertausende Menschen den Job kostet.

Das Beste folgte jedoch wenig später: "Selbst wenn das #N9 und #MeeGo ein Erfolg werden sollten, wird kein weiteres MeeGo-Handy geben", ließ sich Elop öffentlich zitieren. Diese abstruse Einstellung, nämlich sich nicht an erfolgreichen Produkten zu orientieren, gipfelte darin, dass Elop auch noch alles dafür tat, dass nichtmal das N9 hohe Verkaufszahlen erreichen kann: Er traf die Entscheidung, dass das N9 in den sechs größten europäischen Märkten (Großbritannien, Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, Spanien und Niederlande) erst gar nicht verkauft wird.

Hmm, strange, some apps won't start anymore ? Some #certificate bullshit again ? #N950 #N9 #meego #maemo

Loved this thing, it was pretty much perfect.

@mjg59 There was "The Story of Nokia's #Maemo & #MeeGo" by Sampsa Kurri. Original link 404s, but it's archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20121030094913/http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/the-story-of-nokia-meego

I also remember a series of blogs by another insider, talking of the wider context of what was going on at #Nokia. Memory (and Google) failing me though.

@mjg59 IIRC, quite a few people from the #KDE community worked for Nokia in Germany back then on
#Maemo / #MeeGo
Maybe one of them is still around here and can provide some input here?

I've been a huge #Nokia fan for many years. I still use the Nokia E72 and love the experience. And in 2010 I heard about the #MeeGo project. And I also know the whole further history of Nokia. I was a Nokia #Lumia920 user with #WindowsPhone 8.1. But a couple of years ago, I heard about #SailfishOS. And this project is very interesting for me, but all my devices are not supported. And maybe later, but I'm interested in creating of a mobile application for #Fediverse services on their platform.

@chbmeyer @CliffWade the same here :) i'm a sailor with #jolla for years. I'm also a huge fan of the very content centric, gesture based user interface since the #meego days

#meego #harmattan

dass sich #Mer und #Sailfish zusammenschließen wird bestimmt eine so große Erfolgsgeschichte wie damals als #Maemo mit #Moblin zu #MeeGo wurde?
Oder eher so wie damals als #MeeGo mit #LiMo zu #Tizen verschmolz?

Auch nicht? Dann so wie bei #Bada und #Tizen?

Aber vlt. sind diese historischen Begebenheiten bei Projekten die sich aus #MeeGo abgeleitet haben auch einfach noch nicht angekommen?
