Nokia has updated the Maemo-based - or should that be MeeGo-based [1] - Nokia N900 smartphone/mobile computer* with fresh firmware.
It's the third N900 firmware update to be posted since the gadget's November 2009 release. It's version 3.2010.02-8 and it weighs in at a mere 16.2MB.
According to Nokia, handset owners can simply check for an update and the firmware patch will be delivered over the air. Or you can download [2] it and apply it directly using the delightfully named Maemo Flasher tool.
The update doesn't appear to add any major new features, so it's clearly just a bug-fix release. That said, if you look on the various Maemo- and N900-related forums, there are still plenty of complaints about things not working yet. ®
