Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.

you can if the device is 3 months old AND nokia's been advertising it all over the place. it's not about obsoleting a device naturally, this is like going freakin' dr. krivorkian on it as an infant....

from my understanding, this is a good thing--it's an open OS that can be shoehorned into as many devices as possible (like android). ARM, x86, you name it.

Re: NOKIA guinea pigs........

Re: I want to write apps for N900. Should i learn C or C++?

i can't speak for python, but C++ will probably jump start your programming career, since an object-oriented programming language will facilitate learning java, vb.net, c#, etc.
