  1. Well in 2011 Maemo 6 will have replaced 5. But have a look at maemo.org for what is possible at this moment.

    Will do, thanks. I'm all into Symbian at the moment so it's good to broaden the horizon.


  3. Symbian is a decent OS. A new version of Symbian is still on the roadmap. Its / will be opensource and that will help developers a lot to improve stuff fast.

    I like the smoothness of it, it's quite simple and stable (S60v5). Looking forward to a new one then.
  5. iPod touch and iPhone 3.1.3 update is out (230MB). Anyone tried it and like it?

    Got my N900 today. Amazing, amazing device. MSN, skype, etc integrates perfectly with your contacts and 'conversations'.

    Mediaplayer is amazing, i just installed FLAC support and it plays Apple lossless as well. Also you dont need WMP to sync your device. Just copy the files to the drive and it will be picked up automatically. I am using a foobar2000 plugin for this.

    The videoplayer is pretty good with common xvid files, although there is some frameskipping during complex scenes.

    The browser is pretty cool as well. Its a firefox port, the addon dialog is exactly the same and its actually possible to install Adblock Plus and other addons.

    I know Android and iPhone OS have more apps at the moment, but its incredible what already is available: Bittorrent clients, other mediaplayers, official firefox, remote control software and even AbiWord.[

    Games are a bit weak at the moment. Although there are some nice games available.



    If that's what can be done I'm shifting to a new platform. The iPod is way too limited for what it can do - everything is locked down and even if I did wanna try and create a good browser for it that doesn't crash like Safari, you've gotta buy the developer program stuff and I don't want that. Nah...I'm changing to Maemo.
  6. Well Android is much bigger. But maemo is a real nice playgarden for developers

    Speaking about developping:

    The program i was (again am) working on. Windows XP or higher and the .NET Framework 3.5 are required. Start time is on the long side because it downloads the u2start bootleg database.

    Its far from a handy program now, scanning and synchronising your bootleg collection with u2start works nice. The scanning supports multiple date formats. In the settings tab you can change it to what you use in your folder names.


    But the tagging is still under development. Now it adds these tags:

    Date
    Location
    Legname

    These are custom tags and are not useful for most people. Of course this will be adjusted in future releases.
  7. Liking what I'm seeing with Maemo. The 900 isn't the device for.me tho. Saw a guy boot Mac OSX on his. Took an hour and a half to boot but cool none the less.

    Yeah its useless anyway. Its not even impressive because its just pc emulation software. But i'd recommend maemo to everyone.

    But you're right N900 is not really a phone. The phone is an 'application'. It accessible from the mainmenu. Incomming calls will automatically bring the phone to the front though.

    I'll await 2.1 for Android then see what's what from there. Definitely wanting another Nokia though. 6760 looks cool.


  10. Nope, my 3GS is still running launch firmware, I'm getting a bit worried that one day my carrier will not support it or something.

    It's jailbroken so I can't just update the firmware through iTunes, I'm not quite sure what to do.
    Apparently you update the firmware and then just jailbreak it again, but that seems risky - i'm sure there must be a way to just update with cracked versions of the official firmware.

    Your carrier will always support the firmware - as long as it has the supported baseband then the firmware won't matter. I know people who haven't ever updated to even the 2.0 software (mainly because it works so they're happy) and they work fine. Nah - the thing with jailbreaking and the iPhone is you don't update unless you absolutely have to. If it works then by all means do not touch it.

    I know I'll be updating to 4.0 when it comes, although if it's anything like 3.x problems then maybe not. Usually with jailbroken devices, you need to restore to a clean firmware and then update to the new firmware manually in iTunes (hold Shit and click Restore) then jailbreak again with redsn0w or QuickPwn (at least that's my experience of restoring and re-JBing in the past).

    What have you got installed besides official Apple and App Store apps?

    Oh, that's good, I only wanted to update because GTA Chinatown Wars isn't working - the first app I've got that doesnt work.

    I have a few unofficial apps, Backgrounder, MxTube, iFile, SB Settings, Mobile Theatre, snes4iphone are the ones I use regularly

    Jailbreaking really does make it twice the phone it would normally be, you can do so much more.
