Advertisements I remember on Maemo 5 an app that used the accelerometer to control your music player. You could start/pause, skip and go back. I forgot the name. This was useful as you didn’t have to touch the screen and press a button. There’s a similar app on demo today to skip the current […]
Nokia Conversations has a post explaining Email, RSS and Note apps on the Nokia N9 When you subscribe to a feed, you can choose whether this feed displays in your “today” screen on the homepage. Great if you want quick links to sites but don’t want all of them clogging up your facebook/twitter timeline. Emails […]
On the weekend we saw what mobile YouTube looked like on the N950. With no Flash, desktop YouTube browsing was no longer an option (like on N900) with the default browser. Here’s a look at a dedicated YouTube App for MeeGo Harmattan called cuteTube. Video by marxianthecoder Cheers ssdh for the tip!
In this video, the Nokia N900 calls the MeeGo-Harmattan powered Nokia N950. Note that to accept a call, you swipe up the screen. Note the lock screen bouncing up and down to tell you this moves. Move it to answer the call. A little icon appears with the name of the person. Missed calls appear […]
This morning, we got some official word from Nokia Russia about some possible Pre-Ordering. http://mynokiablog.com/2011/07/24/nokia-n9-preorder-in-russia/ Spotted on Talk.maemo.org, one retailer (site domain .kz/Khazakstan) has the N9 available for August 19, 2011. http://technodom.kz/actions/discount/69669/ Not exactly sure about the website itself, but it’s got an Alexa rank of 128 in Kazakstan. Cheers, meh. Source:Â Talk.maemo.org
Qt Guru, Tommi Laukkanen has just built Nelisquare – a foursquare app – for MeeGo-Harmattan N950. https://projects.developer.nokia.com/nelisquare “Built Nelisquare for N950. No portrait and virtual kb isn`t as smart as on Maemo or Symbian.https://projects.developer.nokia.com/nelisquare“ @tlaukkanen All of Tommi’s Qt apps have mentioned MeeGo for future compatibility so this really shouldn’t be all that surprising. Â Also […]
Before we all immediately scream, “Elop the Trojan Horse” and call for his resignation (again), let’s look at what other reasons could be instead of laying all the blame on one guy. 1) Should never have dumped Symbian and gone with MS First, let’s begin with WHY some people are strongly against Elop. […]
ssdh has found some more video samples from the Nokia N950. Note that these developer samples have no bearing what so ever on what the N9 will produce. In fact, whilst N9 camera gets more tweaking, the N950 apparently not so. The N9 I believe has true widescreen (not cropped 4:3 to 16:9) and […]
So, one of the things the current browser on the MeeGo-Harmattan will not do is flash. You can get it via FireFox/Fennec I guess. Â But how would videos work, such as those on YouTube? Well, the video player from the phone could open it up, like on many platforms now. Â I wonder how it works […]
