Nokia N900 Blurs Line Between Smartphones and Portable Computers
,----[ Quote ]
| Smartphones are getting larger and more
| advanced in comparison with standard mobile
| phones. Laptop computers can be created in
| much smaller sizes than they were in the
| past. What this means is that thereâs an
| increasingly fine line between what makes a
| device a phone and what makes it a laptop.
| Add in the fact that you can talk on a
| notebook through Skype or access the web
| with your phone and you can see that the
| difference between phones and computers is
| increasingly difficult to define. The Nokia
| N900 is one of those devices that truly
| straddles this already fine line.

Nokia N900 Smartphone: Apps and future Maemo Linux versions
,----[ Quote ]
| The Nokia N900 Smartphone will now be able
| to have its applications ported much easier
| soon, to not only its Maemo Linux operating
| system, but also Windows Mobile and
| Symbian. This will only be possible with
| the use of the Qt graphical toolkit to
| Maemo 5, which we previously mentioned

| Last weekend Amsterdam was visited by hackers from
| various Free Software communities and companies
| from around the world. Brought together by the
| Maemo Summit in the WesterGasFabriek, they gave and
| attended talks about topics like the Maemo
| applications, user interface components, the
| underlying infrastructure and of course the future
| of Maemo. Read on for a short impression of this
| conference.

Plasma widgets on Maemo5
,----[Quote ]
| But after several more hours of hacking and trying
| to figure out how transparency works in X11, I even
| managed to get nice translucent applets. Also I
| figured out how to hook up the normal maemo5 widget
| configuration system to display the correct
| configuration dialog when you click on the
| configure button on one of these plasmoids. So with
| in the end maybe 20 lines of code, I got a rather
| good working implementation that makes it basically
| possible to have any plasmoid you might have on
| your normal kde desktop, also on your maemo5 home
| screen. One (somewhat major) problem with the
| current implementation is that it is not possible
| to resize widgets, but as far as I can tell that is
| mostly a limitation of the maemo5 desktop widget
| system, so I'm not sure if there is anything I can
| do about it from my side.
