Video: iPad inspired Flipboard page flip with Qt QML
Tommi Laukanen strikes again with yet another awesome step forward with QT QML projects. Inspired by Flipboard for iPad (which he says would be the one app to make him get one) he’s sought about to mimic Flipboard’s page turn effect with QML script. Flipboard for iPad looks great huh? I wonder what other aspects [...]

Taking his place and now in charge of MeeGo for Nokia is Sebastian Nyström who is now Head of MeeGo, Qt and Webkit at Nokia. Over at the MeeGo Blog, Peter Schneider, head of MeeGo Marketing [...]
Video: Kasvopus Qt Facebook App for Symbian^3/Maemo 5 demoed on Nokia N900
Yesterday we saw Kasvopus, a new project from Tommi Laukkanen that brings a very promising facebook client to Nokia Devices. The only one so far comes by way of the frighteningly bad Social App produced by NOKIA. There’s quite some potential with Kasvopus, hopefully it will receive more updates and more features, but for now [...]
Qt Facebook app, Kasvopus, available for Symbian^3/Maemo 5 (requires Qt 4.7.2), MeeGo soon #N8 #N900
Tommi Laukkanen is at it again, this time taking on the Facebook app (which no one else, not even Nokia have done a good job on. It pains me how terribly overlooked the Facebook app has been on Nokias. You would think it was some hobo social network with 5 people on it the way [...]
Video: Maemo 5/Hildon UI on MeeGoJoggler/Lenovo S10-3t and “The Beauty of the Nokia-Microsoft Deal”
I saw @zehjotkah tweet early this morning about Hildon UI on a Lenovo. A quick search revealled indeed that this Maemo 5 UI was on the MeeGo Lenovo ST10-3t (by smokkku) There’s also another video of Hildon desktop on a joggler device (by fukywak) Looking back to 2009, there was NOTHING really wrong with Maemo [...]
Nokia N900 gets Gingerbread Android 2.3 (before most other Android phones!)
The N900 Tagline: Is there anything this phone CANNOT do?! As you might know the N900 has already been taking host of Android for quite some time, also getting Froyo before many other supposed “Android Phones” :p. (Heh, All the other manufacturers are lucky Nokia’s not making Android phones as we all know they’d whip [...]

Video: Nokia Ovi Ad N900 – Ovi Journeys demo
I don’t know if this is new, all I know is I’ve never seen it before. It’s a guy kinda going through his day using Ovi services. Now I’m not sure why they’re talking about N900. It doesn’t have a Nokia Facebook/Twitter app and navigation still lacks voice prompts (As well as other Ovi Maps [...]
Video: Preview of CloudGPS – Smoothest maps for Nokia N900 – with accelerometer control, 3D buildings and instant zoom

It’s a very slick operation. The maps can be scrolled through extremely quickly, you’ve got accelerometer controls of maps, [...]
Video: Nokia N900 Connecting via Ethernet cable and USB-RJ45 adapter
Got no WiFi? Got no phone signal? That’s two things I haven’t got in my room this year . Could be happening to you if you’re in some random poor WiFi hotel room. Well that’s not going to stop the Nokia N900. Here it is connecting to the internet via an Ethernet Cable. Yeah, that [...]

Initial Installation 360NextLevel gives us a video tutorial on how to install the WebOS version of Asphalt 5 on the Nokia N900. Yes, WebOS. It’s a little technical and you may need to check out other videos to complete all the instructions. [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rDCbZ3gyYE]

Video: Single Column Multitasker on the N900
The Nokia N900 is renowned for its multitasking prowess. Not just in terms of how many activities it can juggle but also in the contextual grid interface of LIVE windows. Here’s another look – a single column view. What’s interesting is that it’s vertical. A brilliant must have addition is shortcutD which can give [...]
FREEWARE: Nokia Panorama Available at the Ovi Store for your Nokia N8 (And Nokia N900)
An alternative to Morpho QuickPanorama “Nokia Panorama” is now available at the Ovi Store for free. In contrast to Morpho, the detail seems MUCH higher with the Nokia version. The seams are pretty much invisible. The pic below is from Damien Dining. I don’t have a N8 to test this out so I’m not sure [...]
Video: Nokia N900 Flash 10.1 with Froyo Android 2.2
Flash 10.1 has been much awaited on the Nokia N900 and here it is – albeit with Android 2.2 and not Maemo 5 yet. Officially, there isn’t support for flash 10.1 yet for N900 but in the next video from October last year by Adobe, you’ll see Flash player on Maemo 5 and suggestion of [...]

Here’s a copy and paste of the changes detailed in the forum post: Geolocation support. Javascript JIT support. Fix garbage display after rotation due [...]
Video: Nokia N900 and Maezer – Accelerometer Maze game for the Nokia N900
Maezer is an app created by Blaizzen (from talk.maemo.org) for the Nokia N900 that uses the accelerometer to move a ball across a 2d maze. I prefer this to the more glamorous accelerometer type maze games as it’s less about the skill of moving the phone at the appropriate time and angle (and such loosing [...]

NEW TODAY from Digital Chocolate, one of the best mobile game developers to date: TowerBloxx Delux 3D has appeared on the Ovi Store for the Nokia N900! (Symbian version available). I’d make a demo video and screenshot myself but N900 has gone for some rest and repair (for around 9 days). I’ll update when I [...]

Here’s something coming soon for the N900 (uploaded by sureshchande): an alternative to Documents to Go (30 days trial for viewer, plus I think there’s a paid editor version somewhere) on Maemo 5. It’s useful just as an office viewer (if you don’t fancy editing). I often have to check over excel files, word, ppt, [...]
