Booting Nemo/Mer on the Nokia N9 

This comparison video may be done very bad, but substantiates that you absolutely have to go with the Lumia 800, if you’re actually lusting for the N9. Windows Phone 7 is way snappier than MaemoMeego Harmatton with everything you do. It looks just as lag-free as the iPhone 4s—something I’ve always thought I’d never see.

PS: Pay close attention at around 6:40 to see what the best use for the N9’s FFC seems to be. :)

Nokia N9 UX Guidelines: Tone & Language 

It’s not what you say, but how you say it.

I really love this attention to the detail. You wouldn’t believe that it’s Nokia who designed this phone.

Mer is back 

Mer was an attempt to further develop Maemo fully in the open and was cancelled, when MeeGo seemed to be the next big thing. Now that Android, Symbian, Maemo, MeeGo, et al proved to be too easy to burn (I love that phrase), or—in the case of Android—too closed, maybe a resurrected Mer can be the independent platform, everybody’s longing for? At least, it doesn’t look as halfhearted as CordiaHD.

In Finland, it is a good idea to build some extra platforms before winter so you can later burn them for warmth. #Meltemi
