Ok fellow Maemolites, I finally managed to meet up with our Nokia rep today for the first time since I got my N900 in December, and I threw some questions at him that I thought I'd share, I didn't manage to ask much as he only dropped by to give us a demo Nokia X6 (which are awesome by the way), plus this is all from memory, but is pretty much what was said, so here goe's.
Q/ What's the deal with the new Nokia Media Transfer Concept http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aWFnQT_AZE
A/ The N900 used in the demo was a 'modded' version housing a new high-speed wireless transfer chip, gonna be similar to Bluetooth V4.0
Q/ V4.0?? already, what happened to V3.0??
A/ its just a proof of concept at the mo, but real damn cool
Q/ Ovi maps? when do we get free services?
A/ Not to sure yet, but development is going strong, if we don't get it in the PR 1.1.1 update most likely the following version.
Q/ Speaking of updates why was the UK missed out in the latest firmware??
A/ I'm not entirely sure??
Q/ Why is my media player struggling with Chapter support in H.264 files??
A/ mine does it also, Its a known bug that will be fixed in the next update
Q/ The OVI store is kinda slow at the moment, any reasons??
A/ The merge with Meego has slowed development as Nokia want s all APPs to be compatible with both Maemo and Meego, but Ive seen some really impressive games and demos recently so the wait will be worth it.
Q/ Meego!! Yessssssss N900 bound??
A/ Hmmmm, from what vie been told is that the technical requirements for Meego fit the N900, so as long as the development goes well and all the features pegged for Meego work on the N900 then yes, it should get it. BUT!! there has been no official word yet, from what I know.
Q/ But you just said APPs are slow to release because Nokia wants them to work on Maemo and Meego, but if the N900 gets Meego, thats pointless right??
A/ True, but other devices are in the pipeline line.
Q/Other devices?? Share some info??
A/ No.. wink!!
Q/ haha, answered in true Rep style.
So that its, not the greatest questions on my behalf but I was working and he's visit was brief, If I'd known he was due in today I'd prepared better.

Continued support? Nokia cares about moving units not giving you "something for nothing". Want Meego? Buy the new Nokia M1000 Cellular Internet Tablet
