Somehow, but the end user experience is very different.
I own both an N9, which I still use as an alarm clock, and a Pixel.
The N9 alarm clock is incredibly smooth, and intuitive. You never over or underturn clock hands. Whereas I have seen lots of people, particularly my dad, struggling with the Android counterpart.
The N9 was an incredibly well designed product in most respects. I particularly miss the small screen with a curved glass that integrated so well with single-hand gestures (up to minimize app, down to close, left and right to move to next or previous window-card).
Maemo/MeeGo are, in some ways, the BeOS of the mobile world.
- nickpeterson 8y agoI like to imagine an alternate reality where Nokia, Rim, and Palm combined.
- z3t4 8y agoImagine if Microsoft would have embraced Meego instead of killing it, and focused more on business and quality apps. If you see a large wave, you should surf it, not try to make it change direction. But sometimes you have to make the wave, way out in the ocean where it will barely be noticed, but once it hits shallow water everyone else will be caught off guard.
