Maemo 6 to support Capacitive and Multitouch Screens
By: Jamie Pert | October 9, 2009 | 3 CommentsWhen it was announced that Nokia’s N900 handset will be running the Linux-based Maemo OS it received a mixed reaction, this was mainly because current versions of Maemo did not support capacitive or multi-touch screen technologies.
However it has now been confirmed that Maemo 6 will be Nokia’s first Linux base OS which will support both capacitive and multi-touch screens, however this will not be available for a while.
It is thought that Maemo 6 will not be available for at least a year, which means N900 users will have to cope without the support, whether Maemo 6 will be compatible with the N900 is yet to be seen.
As I have said before I am extremely happy that Nokia are beginning to use alternatives to Symbian on their flagship smartphones, and I predict this time next year Symbian Nokia handsets will take a backseat to Maemo handsets, find out more on IntoMobile.
Do you see Nokia having a brighter future with Maemo or Symbian?
