Advertisements Marrat noticed something in the reflection from the N900’s screen in the Qt Quick 3D video. Pause the video at 0:49 and see what the N900′s screen is reflecting… Recognize the shape? What phone is recording that video above? It’s got N8 like tapering edges alright. The LED is on, and you can see […]
This morning we looked at some MeeGo screenshots seen in the N9 teaser. Jim found the UI component guidelines for MeeGo 1.2 released yesterday.

In the N9 video we saw little glimpses of the UI in action. A dominant part was the way gestures, particularly side swipe was implemented as part of the navigation of the user interface. We can very briefly see some other things in the video. Below is the contacts screen. Look at the squircle/Anna-Belle […]
