Did you ever try syncing contacts with a Maemo? Because if you think going into redpill mode and configuring a command line sync so you can get your address book syncing with anything represents anything than a steam mound of UX shit, you are either actually insane, or so out of touch with what any normal human might think of as a reasonable experience that you might as well be.
Maemo was shit compared to a Palm Pilot.
- Nullabillity 10y agoBluetooth contact import worked fine, and Skype synced fine as well, which was what mattered for me at least. On the other hand, having an ACTUAL Linux command line with ACTUAL root and an ACTUAL keyboard was worth gold, and still sorely missed today.
- ommunist 10y agoIt is not missed if you consider your device a terminal to your real Linux server and use Prompt on iOS as an example.
- Nullabillity 10y agoSounds wonderful reat if you enjoy GPRS latency and typing code with soft keyboards. I'd also assume that working with local peripherals work great with that setup?
- ommunist 10y agoSaved my bacon couple of times. Definitely not for regular job, but a very good thing to have for just in case situations.
- adrianratnapala 10y agoThe chief feature I miss on Android is the ability to user rsync to syncrhonise its content with my PC in a reasonable way. I can rsync to the phone -- but none of the apps are allowed to read the directory thus synced. Maybe IOs is more forgiving. But how would a terminal emulator help?
