Nokia don't have to support Linux at all. The choice is theirs. They choose to support platforms that have a significant desktop market share. Trying to support all the different Linux distros would not be cost effective. As for making them use Java... Give me a break. Java is a pig in itself.

And yes, I use Linux. Have done for many years, both personally and professionally. But just like I understand I need Windows to play the games I like, I also understand that economics dictates I need Windows to get a full featured desktop suite for my phone. Eventually, you learn to stop complaining and just accept that until Linux has a significant desktop market share, its just not cost effective to waste development time on it at the moment.

It sucks, but thats life.

Nokia is shooting itself in the head by not supporting Linux. How arrogant is it possible to be. I bought a N97 to my wife, but will sell it because so many Nokia services are tied up to Windows. Either they must support commom OS or they must write it as WEB applications or in Java. Whem you fail on this then there is not much hope…

I have tried Orb a couple of years ago but the software was buggy and the features quite limited. I'll definitely give it ago this weekend and sum up the experience on a quick blog post.

It's easy to set up and the file browser is very fast, browsing / loading and streaming all depends on your network speed though obviously, and for video the bitrate especially. On a strong HSDPA connection i can stream video between 2000 and 3000k without many problems

I don't think Ovi can stream movies or audio. I believe it's only downloading. Do you enjoy Orb? Is it fast?

I've been using this “Orb” software to remotely access my pc's files, it sounds alot like this Ovi file browser, and i can stream movies and audio etc. Any comparisons with the two?
