Wednesday night a package arrives on my doorstep. It’s my nokia n810, a god like device I haven’t been able to use much, as I wanted to, being I dropped it the second day I had it. Although the thing isn’t perfect (no 3g/wimax), but as an open source platform using the memo OS (linux kernel 4.1) the thing comes pretty close. The hardware Is great (qwerty keyboard, camera, GPS, wifi, touchsreen, “kick”stand etc…) but, what truly makes the n810 “the god machine” is not the hardware but the software. Because the n810 is open-source, this allows users to fill gaps, in the n810′s functionality (screen rotation, games, remote monitoring etc…). Due to said openness useres have created 100′s of programs for the n800/n810/n770; of course the user created software is supported by said users (delivering patches extremely fast). Don’t like the Maemo OS and or think it’s ugly? Fine, run Deblet (Debian for the n810/n800) or Google’s android, or KDE. I’m too tired from playing with my n810, to go on writing anymore about the “god machine” (more will come in later days however). Click the link to find out more about the n810.
