I can only imagine in my wildest dreams that the manager of ANY company would make such a statement when he was SURE his units were about to ship.
D-pad on the right side?sortableturnip said:I've been using my Motorola Droid to run nes, snes and gba emulators. There are also some games available through the android marketplace. It has a qwerty keyboard and a dpad, so gaming is not so bad. Its the only thing keeping me sane while I'm waiting for my Pandora.
Alerino said:yes it is

3) AFAIK this is a missing software feature, not a hardware problem.Kangal said:3)Maybe MMS support?
4)Capacitative screen with a capac. stylus with its own hole in the device.
6)Tilt-Slide like the N97 for slightly better typing under sunlight and more finger room for the L&R,1,2 dedicated buttons.
7)Maybe get rid of kickstand in the back in the back because the screen now tilts?
8)Better speakers and dual mic for noise cancellation for conferencing would be welcomed.
9)Better battery perhaps if their is the alternative.
10)Actual GPS instead of aGPS ...for high quality navigation though this would probably consume more internal space.
11)Infared to convert phone into universal remote including frequencies that open automated gates/garage doors would be sweet.
13)At least 1 SD slot: support for devices with SD entries. Would be good to have a second that's microSD (space efficiency)
14)universal miniUSB instead of proprietery ones, or maybe 2 of these!
15)Video out capabilities from one miniUSB slots ... or does N900 already have this
16)OLED or AMOLED screen with LED-backlighting to vastly improve usage under sunlight for people like Aussies!
This is very correct, there is always room for improvementKangal said:All in all, N900 is a very very awesome device.
But if you set your mind to it, you can improve it*
Apple did capacitive touch screen and marketing took over. All people see are the benefits to multi-touch but don't get informed of the draw backs.B-ZaR said:Just a few comments:
4) What is it with capacitive touch screens? The only actual advantage I know of is multi touch, and so far I've seen it only used as a gimmick. The best use I've witnessed was a two-player air hockey game on an iPod.Kangal said:4)Capacitative screen with a capac. stylus with its own hole in the device.

There are things that can only be done on a resistive screen, and others that can be done much better. I wonder if the people asking for capacitive screens understand what they lose when they use them.

have you seen craig's icontrolpad that's coming out for the ipod touch / iphone? i think that'll help get rid of many of those drawbacks.

How does a game controller add-on fix drawbacks in the touchscreen technology? AFAICT we were talking about advantages and drawbacks of capacitive touchscreen technology, not the input devices of any single product. Of course iControlPad will offer better gaming controls for iPod/iPhone, but it won't make the drawbacks of a capacitive touchscreen go away. I'm sorry if that came out as offensive, but you seem to have misunderstood something
