We’ve seen this Finnish phone before running Moblin and a Qt Interface to demo a possible MeeGo UI (or at least a reference design). We saw it most recently demonstrating the new MeeGo handset UX on video. Chippy, aka Steve Paine of CarryPad has it for the next 48 hours! This is Aava Mobile (also [...]
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, [...]
FireFox for N900 has been updated to 1.1. To download, point your N900 browser to firefox.com/m. (It will open up App manager and may ask to add a catalogue, click add. It will download a 12.1MB file and you’re done) Support for Portrait mode New start page (with options to pick up previously browsed tabs, [...]
Secret Exit, maker of Zen Bound has released “Spin” for the Nokia N900. It’s available at the Ovi Store now for £3 (UK). For some reason, it’s apparently only 2.99 EUR. (£2.46 – but do you guys pay tax on top of that?) Anyway, zehjotkah has uploaded a video demo of Spin on his N900. [...]
Yesterday, MeeGo Handset UX was released, with screenshots, video demo and an image to download for compatible handsets, one being the Nokia N900. trowerpower35 has uploaded a video of the N900 with MeeGo handset UX. There’ll probably be more videos like this as more folk try out MeeGo on their N900, maybe a little clearer [...]
@benjezzy has created his first ever App: “Vuvuzela” for the Nokia N900. This infamous droning sound has (dis/)graced your TV screens whilst you watch the World Cup. YouTube’s even added a Vuvuzela button to celebrate it, masking out any audible video sound with what appears to be a tsunami of bees. It’s not the most [...]
Last time we posted about painting on the N900 was with the basic N900 sketch app, subject: Avatar – my attempt: – meh (thanks nonetheless for the kind comments ) There’s an app for the N900 called MyPaint which gives those with the skill tools to create their masterpiece. Boy, did Luovatone do just that. [...]
Following yesterday’s Android theme for the N900 is Blue Sky (a comment recommended “Sky” but we couldn’t find it, unless this is the same thing). Anyways, this is a great theme for the N900 because: New icons for default N900 apps (First time I’ve used a Maemo 5 theme that changed the icons) New backgrounds [...]
The Nokia N900 is arguably the best multitasking phone out there by the sheer number of apps it can juggle simultaneously (for real and not some fake multitasking) and also by that beautiful interface Live grid of applications (not static images or worse, icons – how 2002) that is contextual (windows/grid changes in size depending [...]
If you’re new to London, one of the fastest, cheapest but most daunting ways to get around the city is via the underground. Looking at the map for the first few times is overwhelmingly confusing, resembling nothing more than a bundle of coloured strings. Geeting from A-B may be fine if you’re on the same [...]
I don’t normally show case themes but I really like this Android theme for the Nokia N900. It doesn’t make your N900 appear like Android, but just picks of on hints of the design. It changes up the bookmark icons on the homescreen so the edges of the rectangles are rounded, plus the title bar [...]
Zen Bound was one of the upcoming games previewed to arrive to the N900 along with 3D rollercoaster. It’s a beautiful 3D game, quite addictive with very calming music. Here’s the blurb from Ovi Store: Zen Bound is a calm and meditative puzzle game about wrapping wooden sculptures with rope. It is a tactile experience, [...]
Engadget has come across what they believe to be a leaked Nokia N9 from a video (I can’t see it as it’s blocked in “my region”, can you?). Hopefully someone can rip that onto youtube.See video below (thanks James Burland and Joao Luis) It has a QWERTY keyboard! It tilt’s like the N97! The keyboard [...]
You know the tech have been talking about Nokia’s decline for a long time with the iPhone and Android innovating in certain areas but especially this week when Steve Jobs unveiled iPhone 4 with a certain feature that we are all so familiar with here in Europe for what it feels like forever. The feature [...]
On Talk.maemo.org, Frals, creator of fMMS (bringing MMS to Maemo 5/N900 users) is working with wOOt to create a portrait keyboard for the N900. I’m glad they chose to do the traditional T9 input as that’s much easier to use with one hand (for me anyways -I know there are also many who would prefer [...]
Titanas demonstrates a new inbuilt feature of Skype Video Calling that came with the new N900 firmware. Previously, video calling was only capable with google-chat – and you couldn’t initiate video calls, only receive them. [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCGenvooc6s]
On Thursday (Day Two of Open Mobile Summit) thanks to Nokia and WOMWorldNokia, Iain, Sergejs and I had the privilege of an unscheduled Q&A with Nokia’s EVP, MeeGo Computers: Alberto Torres who had just finished a Keynote Speech on “Transforming Nokia” and a panel on “Platforms Vs Networks”. Video is below along with a transcript. [...]

ahmedp800 has posted a new video demonstrating REAL multitasking on the Nokia N8. Something Maemo and Symbian users have been enjoying for several years now. The Symbian multitasking interface as you know has been given a slight face lift. You have snapshots of running apps instead of just icons and they’re aligned in a linear [...]
