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” [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
GarnetVM, iniziamo male.
Installazione e prime impressioni Tutto e` andato nel migliore dei modi. Devo ammettere che vedere le applicazioni Palm sullo schermo dell’N800 da’ una certa emozione. La velocita` e` decisamente accettabil, anche se ovviamente i record inseriti sono ancora solo una manciata, rispetto ai 500 che normalmente ho in rubrica. Di primo acchitto, mi viene da [...]
