ben, 14 Jun 2010its not out yet and already N9?nokia is becoming a real jok... moredigicam Half the price with "lots" more features "such as optical zoom"? please list the other "more features" and show me a dicicam with better quality pics plus 720p recording at $200. Just the cam alone on the n8 is ALMOST worth the asking price before even factoring in features like free sat nav and everything else on the "Smartphone" side.

There is a 6 minutes hands on and if you notice, UI simply fails to response.
It can be attributed to pre-production unit but I was aware that Symbian 3 has been hardened now.
So I am just wondering, why N8 is slow?

Just wondering what could be done with an N8 if there was a HyperX version of s^3... he achieved a lot of performance on a i8910 which runs S60. would be interesting to see what actually is possible with the N8...
since S^3 is open source this would be a possibility, and completely allowed.

S^3 is a milestone ahead of previous. A lot of work has been done to integrate what was the Symbian core OS & with the S60 UI & apps that have been built for Nokia. Also incooporated many contributions from many other companies both device manufactuer, service provider, network operators. The S^3 release is the first general availability of integrated code line since the foundation was formed.
A few of the nice key features that are in S^3 are the new Micro Kernel which can run on very low computation load application processors meaning that you can extend battery life for extensive periods of time with active use meaning that you can multitask actively in the OS on your mobile. Their is a Hardware Abstraction Layer. Some of the first bits are elment of a HAL in there which will provide Symbian Foundation a much larger range of technologies by which people can create mobile products & run the OS on platform.
The qt core library is included in S^3 their. This will enable devs to rw write applications & do some much more amazing things than previous symbian OS's. Lots of work have done to remove the no of inputs that you have to do for basic tasks or common tasks, it will be much easier to send a mail, much easier to go online, much easier to stay connected with multiple applications with very few inputs
Theres also some nice nice visual design features, transparencnies, transitional effects which will look brilliant Hardware accelerated. Symbian are releasing 40 million lines of source code worth $4.5 billion, totally open source & free to the market place for anyone to use. Open source code can be directly influenced by any dev to make any contribution, manufacturers, network operators, silicon & tech providers in the symbian ecosystem, will be able to produce amazing symbian products for consumers. Products that we have a role in defining. We help make it what it is.
It reduces their overall investments that they would as in individual companies ot teams would have to make in product creation, because they get to leverage the benefits of everybody elses work & all those other contributions that are added into the codebas on an ongoing basis. With that level of code access, you really can unleash the creativtity of every single developer that's out there for any type of application. I think we are going to see some great apps.
Symbian Foundation has already started to see great application, this will get even better now over time. It looks like the largest open source contribution that has ever been made. A dominant OS & platform in the smartphone segment of the mobile marketplace has now been completely opened up & has been given away to the dev public to further evolve, use. This looks like big possibilties.
