This was supposed to be a comment to my post about alternatives to Matchbox on ITs but, folks, such a great news can’t be relegated in comment! Drums rolling, please… Penguinbait is going to relase KDE 3.5.8! :D Development of KDE for Nokia has begun again!!! I currently have a working copy of FULL KDE [...]

GPE applications on OS2008
One of the most common complaints (beside not being a phone :-D ) about Internet Tablets is not being good a PIM. Perhaps Garnet will (soon) bring P3 (Palm PIM Power) to Maemo platform. In the meantime, have we got any solution at hand? Yes? No? Perhaps? Well, from my (as usual) point of view [...]
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… ;)
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 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 [...]
Nokia Internet Tablet, Maemo e non solo
Come mi e` spesso capitato di dire in altri contesti, una dei principali punti di forza degli Internet Tablet Nokia, a partire dal 770 per arrivare all’N810, sta nell’essere essenzialmente “aperti”, nel poterli utilizzare per sperimentare ed espanderli (l’esatto opposto di quanto avviene con iPhone ;) ). Di questo, per quanto non mi piaccia particolarmente [...]
Always on? Ovvero: dove sta andando la telefonia mobile?
Avevo iniziato questo post come commento alla prova su strada di GarnetVM, man mano che andavo avanti mi sono pero` reso conto che in realta`, GVM, e` solo una piccola componente del discorso, un tassello di un disegno molto piu` ampio ed articolato. Sicuramente, quella davanti a cui ci troviamo e` una svolta non indifferente. [...]
Metti un Palm nel tuo Internet Tablet!
Basta un rapido sguardo all’immagine per comprendere l’importanza e la portata del rilascio da parte di Access della GVM (Garnet Virtual Machine) per piattaforma Nokia Internet Tablet (sul sito sono disponibili i .deb di installazione per 770, N800 ed N810). Se siete appassionati (o, come me, mio malgrado ex-appasisonati) del mondo Palm, saprete che Garnet [...]
3 Skypephone: recensione e riflessioni
Ancora sull’argomento Skypephone, riporto, per correttezza e completezza di informazione, un altrettanto interessante post dal blog di Massimo Cavazzini (www.maxkava.com), la discussione puo` essere seguita al medesimo link. Buona lettura e grazie ancora a Massimo per la segnalazione. Come promesso, dopo aver letto le prime reazioni allo Skypephone, eccomi per un paio di riflessioni generali. [...]
