I’d rather not bring this up right after some of us have seen what could easily be one of the most gorgeous and simultaneously functional user interfaces ever seen, but I’m not sure I’ll be getting a MeeGo device or more specifically, this device. Read on to hear why. Unlike Maemo which was the unruly [...]
Just a quick poll for the readers out there. Now that you’ve seen the N9 in all its polycarbonate and glass glory, the all important question remains; will you get one!?!
With a ton of hype surrounding the build-up Nokia Connection in Singapore 2011 got underway only a few minutes after the scheduled date. Starting with a view statistics on the significance of the South-East Asia and Pacific region both in terms of population but in terms of market penetration of mobile devices. After this brief [...]
We’ve already seen some pretty impressive looking renders/press photos of a device that Nokia may be set to announced or at least tease at Nokia Con tomorrow but the question hanging over this device is why? Now quite a few of our readers are, or at least were in my case, hoping that this would [...]
In August last year, Nokia’s Nicklas Savander sat down with the fine folks at Engadget to discuss a number of issue regarding Nokia’s future and their upcoming products. One of the more pointed questions asked was whether Nokia had any plans to enter the tablet space in the near future. The choice quotes from his [...]
On February 11th amongst the hubbub during the day, Head of Nokia’s MeeGo Computers, Alberto Torres left the company. 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 [...]
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 [...]
Here’s the Nokia Developer Day keynote titled, “Nokia’s Three Year Ecosystem Vision”from MWC with Nokia’s CTO Rich Green (ex Sun Software boss), some guests and other members of the Nokia team. It’s roughly 50 minutes over four videos. I’ve copied some slides down from first two vids but note, Rich mentions more around those slides. [...]
Hi there, folks. Its me again. Have been very silent due to various things, one of them being all these rumors surrounding the Capital markets day, and we all know how that went for us, Nokia fans. Shocking is an understatement. Yes, the above image is the echoing sentiment across many Nokia/Symbian/Meego fans.Honestly,I had been [...]
It took a lot of motivation and a significant bit of my patience to sit down and pick through, one by one, the utter dross that MANY “tech sites” like to cite and quote as fact when making their arguments but I cannot idly stand by and not vent my frustration and tear down these [...]
So, this news comes as both a surprise and an expectation. Intel demonstrated a fully built device, supposedly running Medfield at Intel’s sales conferece last week and it is a looker . Everyone put on your foil hats and start speculating. Nokia shutting up shop on Qt Quick elements to be used in their UI’s, [...]
Adnan just tipped us that Nokia is holding an invitation-only event at Mobile World Congress on the 13th of February, which happens to be the Sunday before MWC officially kicks off. This in addition to the event scheduled for the 11th that Stephen Elop mentioned in his comments on Nokia’s Q4 earnings call indicate that [...]
My Dream Nokia #15 is our first tablet design (well, not including My Dream Nokia #5 that was a fold up phone/tablet transformer). This is the Nokia Leafpad (yeah like the text editor for the geekier amongst you), another sent in to Shihuzaan’s growing portfolio here. As you can see, it has leaf-inspired look that [...]
Here’s the latest design by shihuzaan for My Dream Nokia #14 (same designer for N11 and N12). It is a Nokia MeeGo phone concept with a somewhat Nexus One-esque/Nokia Prism feel. This piece was more to show off the design and as such the specifications are what you’d expect from MeeGo phone. It looks a [...]
Czech Nokia blog, Nokia Mania (RTd by @Camb078!) seems to believe that Nokia’s upcoming MeeGo Tablet (check out their screencaps), known only right now as Z500 (boo what a crappy name). The existance was revealed by Eldar back in June who tweeted about the Z500 Nokia Tablet. Later in November, it accidentally exposed itself on [...]
A slew of tablets are to be announced at CES. One of ASUS’ tablets is called the EEE Pad slider. Some have said this is NOT a new form factor but has been seen in the HTC Touch Pro 2/HTC Shift. It’s more like what we’ve seen on the Nokia N97/N97 mini/E7 no and possibly [...]
Recently we saw that the Windows Powered HTC HD2 had got some MeeGo loving on it. Below you can see a video from psychochromatic. It’s early days yet, as the touch screen wasn’t even working at all to begin with. As posted before this is Vanilla MeeGo handset UI which will be different from Nokia [...]
Let’s start 2011 with MyDreamNokia #11. This comes with a 11 photo gallery showing off a concept MeeGo Game Phone by shihuzaan. There’s no actual name, though it is labelled the usual N0 for protos (that or CO in preproduction stuff). I thought I’d call it N11. Design wise, it resembles the N81/iPhone 4 but [...]
After a few months off the grid, I thought it best to offer a short post to show Jay, Andre and the rest of the MNB gang that I’m still around… With my next upgrade coming up in the first few months of 2011, I’ve been pondering my options for my next handset. I’m keen to stick [...]
The video below shows an Archos 5 PMP with MeeGo handset UI. This isn’t as smooth as the MeeGo handset experience seen on the PC smart tablet a couple of weeks ago. However, it is nice to see MeeGo on a growing number of different types of devices.
Man I so totally want one of these AR Drones! Check it out with the powered Nokia N900. You’ve got not only a phone controlled quadropter, it sends live video feedback directly to the phone. That’s not the cool thing. This is a project by Kate Alhola to learn MeeGo and Qt Quick whilst having [...]
