Nokia's new phone, the N900, features a platform based on Linux that promises computer-like performance on a cell phone

When IT ADDA reviewed the N97 in August 2009, our reviewer said that "...the Symbian OS that this product runs is not exactly the hottest mobile OS in town." But if he gets his hands on the N900, then there is no way he can make this comment. This is because the N900 is powered by Maemo, a software platform developed by Nokia for their line of Internet Tablets.

While Maemo has been associated with the Nokia N810, this product is an internet tablet and not a phone. The N900, in fact, is the first phone from Nokia that features Maemo on a phone.

Looks like a phone, behaves like a PC: The N900 is Nokia's first Linux phone and has features that the company hopes will help it get back market share that it lost to Google's Android and Apple's iPhone pic/nokia.com How do you like the new new mid-day.com experience?
