Asri has recently contributed editorials to us about his time testing the Nokia N9 and the N950 developer device. We get in depth about the N9 software, and the pre-production software of the N950. We go on to discuss the developer scene on the N9, and finally we wrap up by seeing which device Asri would chose from a line up of the iPhone 4, Nokia N8, E7, N9, and N950!

This podcast was recorded on the 9th of August 2011.

We'd like to apologise for the audio quality in this show. We were hampered with low quality Skype connections, but soldiered on to bring you an in depth interview with one of the few people in the world who has had hands-on time with both the Nokia N9 and N950, Nokia first and only MeeGo phones.

In this podcast we discuss:

  • SwipeUI on the N9
  • The N9 developer scene
  • Comparing SwipeUI to current mobile user interfaces
  • Which device would you chose?

We tackle the elephant in the room, how much will the N9 suffer for its lack of ecosystem? What is Nokia's position with longterm support for the N9? Will this be Nokia's only MeeGo device? Is the N9 more of a phone device, than an app device? Then we finish with a discussion about whether Nokia should have gone with MeeGo, rather than Windows Phone? Could Nokia have gone it alone?

This podcast recorded on the 23rd of June 2011.

In this podcast we cover:

  • The elephant in the room... apps and ecosystem. Does the N9 have a platform? What about Qt?
       
  • Phone versus app phone? The case for the Nokia N9 as a stand alone device.
       
  • Could Nokia have gone with MeeGo instead of Windows Phone? 
       

You'll have to listen to the podcast to find out what we think, but we'll have editorials on this subject in the future too.
