Clutter-enabled phone ships this month
Nokia will ship its highly anticipated N900 smartphone this month, according to Reuters. Nokia’s first Linux-based smartphone will use Clutter 3D user interface technology from the Moblin project.
The N900 is heir to Nokia’s line of Linux-based Internet tablets, which included the 770, N800, and N810. With week-long standby times, and 5-8 hour battery life in constant use, these little tablets really showed what a mobile phone company could do, if it decided to build an open, Linux-based handheld computer.
