For Nitdroid you need to head over to forums.nitdroid.com (they moved things over there to makes things easier)
. But dj is working on froyo for dell streak now and for what.... is the thing i dont understand, because i heard its supposed to get an official update to froyo.Trust me everyday i go to nitdroid forums for updated news, but nothing. no irc logs or anything.
this is the thing i dont understand- why do cant people fully utilize the n900, it is a open source phone. how can htc hd2 get full froyo working in a matter of time and we all are still struggling? i thought maemo developers were way talented than that

I really don't understand your logic... the N900 is an 'open sourced phone' (with several things - namely the GSM radio driver and video drivers being closed source), so it should automatically be able to do everything you can throw at it? Don't blame the maemo developers or people working on nitdroid - blame powerVR/TI for the closed video driver and Nokia for the closed battery driver.

The N900 is more comparable to the iPhone 3GS (iTouch 3G), which you notice does NOT have 720p video recording added, they didn't even allow it to multitask without jailbreaking it. So frustrations aside, we have to be realistic.
It does annoy me that the N900 has huge oversights, I mean you can't even change the order of tracks in the media player playlist on the N900, you couldn't even delete tracks form the playlist until PR1.2 which was insane. If it takes them that long just to add basic functionality, I am expecting much from PR1.3.

So lemme get this straight.
PR1.3 isn't out, so we get a cautionary thread to not expect PR1.4... right?
Erm... thanks. Duly noted.

Well the thing about the HD2 is: it was Microsoft's last chance to promote Windows Mobile. With HTC they made a trully great phone; hardware and software.
The thing is Windows Mobile 6 is one of the, if not the most advanced mobileOS available (sorry Maemo you're a close second). However WM6 bears its roots to a stylus entry ancestors, so even with HTC's "improvements" it is not a quite a finger-friendly device. It is true, the iPhone set a golden standard in ease of use, intuitiveness and connectivity (iTunes etc) and we've all been spoilt by it.
Android came to the rescue of OEM's who were still relying on Symbian/WindowsMobile for smartphone OS and it has slowly but definently surpassed the iOS in many-ways. Since the HD2 had killer hardware, even though it is ancient compared to the iPhone4, it has equivalent hardware and that same hardware has actually been passed unto all other HTC phones (excluding the earlier Android models).
And since that hardware is now the standard, it is still within the current-gen and is recycled on upcoming WP7 phones. So it is actually very easy to port Android/HTC Sense.com/WP7 to the HD2, talk about a long lifetime!
And this is the strength with HTC's current offerings: they offer you something better than everything out there and wait for the competition to catch-up, meanwhile developers take advantage of this. For instance have a look at the HTC Tilt(Kaiser), Touch Pro(Raphael) and Dream(G1)... old hardware running new software!
I really doubt the N9 will use N900's internals, so it will take a long time for developers to make a "perfect" port of MeeGo/Maemo6 to it ... or none at all. And this is really upsetting for current owners that feel (are) like they're treated as beta-testers at a premium price.
woops, thread derailed?
lets get back on topic and help our member!
