Still Fresh
There was a huge discussion on whether apps or GUI should be improved but very little info on the status of the firmware. So I have the following wishlist for the firmware.
1. Kernel should work
2. Working OpenGL ES 2.0 drivers.
3. Working Wifi drivers. Connectivity to WPA2 and also PEAP.
4. Working bluetooth drivers. Bluetooth keyboards and stereo bluetooth headsets and mic support. this should be tested before release. Nokia n800 had some serious trouble with this despite working bluetooth drivers. there is more to bluetooth drivers than just being able to pair. you actually have to use the device
5. Downloadable compiler toolchain for cortex-a8 as well as a SDL port.
6. Apps should run off SD cards.
7. Terminal should be builtin with all the standard utilities. SSH support should be builtin. Or at least downloadable. Preferably USB networking should work.
8. Working X.
9. Working USB host port.
10. Package management system. How will ppl distribute/install apps?
11. Flashing the firmware should be supported.
If all the above works, then I would be reasonably happy and can develop for the device in peace.
