Canola 2 aproaching!
I’ve just finished watch Canola 2 teaser (Flash or Html) and, folks, looks like we’ve got a killer application here! The new interface seems very promising.
The video (here) shows Canola 2 running on a 770 equipped with OS2007HE and the results are amazingly fluid, things should be even better on N8x0. Beside
Canola could really be a killing application for Internet Tablets N810, even if the single MicroSD on N810 could somehow be a threshold, 8GB MSD aren’t easy to find yet). Also being able to handle multimedia contents in such an easy and comfortable way could really help making more people aware of what IT can be “useful” for, beside simply accessing the internet.
Portable media players are another kinda interesting market. What about an Internet Tablet which can be made in a portable media player with a single touch of your finger? Scree real estate isn’t really a problem on IT family, as well as definition and brightness, after all.
We only have to wait 9 more days!
Comments welcome… ;)
OS2008 on N800 (three days with…)
After having spent last three days with OS2008 on Godot (my N800:-) ) it’s time to draw some conclusions. Speed For sure OS2008 is hella fast! Using it on N800 is a pleasure. CPU speed management’s improvements are there, and you can feel it. Opening menus and launching apps is a pleasure, well even more [...]
Skype running on N800 OS2008!
Updated Dec 01 2007: good news, seems like Skype installation is now working straight from Application Installer. :) Just got Skype running on my N800, after flashing latest OS2008 (it was supposed to work on N810 only). I tried installing it from Application Manager but it failed (“Download failed” message). So I decided to give [...]
ITOS2008 officially released for N800
At last! ITOS2008 landed on N800! Actual release is a beta specifically aimed to developers. Announcement here. This release basically answers all my questions in previous posts. So, perhaps, I’m not going to get an N810 in the next few weeks but, at least, now it will be possible to start working on a “stable” [...]
N810 firmware update
Quick post: a new firmware (OS 2008 version 1.2007.42-19) upgrade has been released today, it should address some stability problems. Could it be a prelude to N810 long awaited release? We will see.
About N810 release date and Nokia strategy
Just got a comment from Quim Gil on my previous {{post id=”nokia-marketing” text=”post”}} about Nokia strategy. I think it’s worth giving more space to what he says. Quim’s comment: I understand your frustration but note that it is caused partly because of early delivery to developers (Chinook SDK) and contributors (codes). We could have done [...]
Nokia != Strategy
Zerojay’s just found that N810′s release date was pushed back to Dec 19th, at least on NokiaUSA. Not a good news for me, and the other 499 dev/users who received the discount code. To be honest, N810 doesn’t even show a release date on www.nokia.it, and shop.nokia.it doesn’t even know about it. In the meantime [...]
Nokia Internet Tablet, Maemo and more
As may times I said somewhere else, one of the advantages of Nokia’s Internet Tablets, on the old 770 as well on the young N810, is the extreme openess, being able to experiment and expand them, basicaly the opposite of what happens on the iPhone ;). And this is a good point for Nokia. In [...]
GarnetVM, not a good start (sadly)
I’ve always been a PalmOS entusiast, I decided to leave it only when Nokia 770 was released. So, it’s easy to understand how happy I was when I read about GVM. Being able to use Palm’s apps on my Maemo IT could fill the gap for PIM applications. Installing GVM was pretty smooth, and using [...]
