Advertisements Back in March we saw Theme Hospital Clone CorsixTH Beta 2 which I thought was already on the N900. It turns out it wasn’t. This video does show CorsixTH on the N900. There doesn’t seem to be any music (like 40% of the enjoyment was the whiny receptionist and 80s elevator/lift music) but it […]

You might have seen some screenshots floating around yesterday showing Google’s Chrome Browser on Maemo 5’s N900. Below is a video by Test-Mobile.fr demonstrating Chrome on N900 in action. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6C3t_UmwyQ] I still think the default MicroB rocks the pants off any alternative browser (being faster, better flash support, kinetic scrolling, multiwindow in multitask mode – […]

Here’s a really awesome application for your N900 called “Shake to Control”. Once you install it, you get a button/widget on your desktop that says “Start” (I’ve turned mine on so it says stop). This app utilizes your N900s accelerometer to control your media keys, hence “shake to control”. It works really well and it’s […]

This just popped up on my twitterfeed from @VDVsx: The N900 was a first for Nokia in having some usable eye candy theme effects (that were real and out of the box, not fake ones like N97, or kinda sluggish on 5800). The effects are very nice. The only thing I’d like to see is […]

Remember the post back in February that showed you how to get BBC iPlayer to work smoothly on your N900? This post. That was from a really helpful discovery by Dancairo on talk.Maemo.org. However, a recent upgrade to BBC iPlayer meant that the BBC iPlayer site that was specially made for low bandwidth was no more. […]

TOSHL’s Expenses Tracker helps you manage your finances by recording your purchases. You just name purchases with tags and frequently used tags  appear next […]
