Problems with Ubuntu Lucid on N900 caused by Canonical compiler choices

alan bruce, developer of the "Easy Debian" chroot (for running a subset of a fully fledged Debian system alongside Maemo), grumbles about the compiler choices made for the recent ARM release of Ubuntu: Somebody decided that it would be funny to design the Ubuntu Lucid (and newer) Arm version to run only on the Arm A8 with Thumb2 instruction set. The problem is that the N900, one of the only Arm A8 devices in general distribution, has a buggy Thumb2 implementation. This means that Ubuntu versions higher than Karmic are unstable and crash-prone on the N900. He goes on to explain why those decisions cause particular problems. However, Alan is responding (and quotes) a link to a video showing off a very nice ARM-based netbook, running Ubuntu. Unfortunately, the ARM-based Psion netBook in your editor's drawer is unlikely to make the cut.

Android port to N900 gets progress on phone support

Talk user "dj_steve" is leading a resurgence on NITDroid, a port of Android (including the latest version) to Maemo devices, including the N900. The technical thread has lots of information, but one particular tit-bit this week: I have just (literally 20mins ago) got partial phone support working (it shows signal strength and going off the logs registered to network, couldn test/fix any further tonight as batt was low. but progress has been made.
