This time from an IP from Finland :-)
see part 1 Planet maemo: category "feed:404e7adbdc563144e6c6ecd7acfdb186"
another software version (an older one) ...
Some time ago I setup a script that greps for interesting strings in my www log, today I found this
entry (I highlighted the interesting parts):
A new CPU, newer Opera version, and a firmware name that is dated for next year :-)
In comparison, the current 770 firmware looks like this:
And since the new device log was produced by a German IP I guess some people are allready running around with new a device. I wonder if this was the 870.

since I'm playing with OLSR I quickly built a
package for my 770. In order to use it you need to be root
and you need some basic knowledge about olsrd. The general steps are: edit /etc/olsrd.conf
to fit your network, bring up interface and assign an IP address, configure the wireless
part (essid, ad-hoc mode, and channel number), and finally start olsrd.
The package is available in my Maemo2 repository and on my Nokia 770 page.

I just checked my site stats and saw about 6000 hits for my maemo repository during the last 20 days, this
is awesome! Especially nice is that my IpHome homepage plugin seems to have a lot
of users.
Btw. I have a new utility in the queue. Hopefully I have enough spare time during my job search in order to finish it before I start working.

I now run my own Maemo2.0 repository. I know it is point less
that everybody sets up their own repository, but I just wanted
to play with it (I'm a long time Debian
user and I was just curious about how this repository thing
actually works). See the repository settings below:

web address: http://www.mulliner.org/nokia770/repository/
distribution: maemo2
components: free
so I just uploaded xkbd-bthid for Maemo2.0. You have to follow the
install instructions otherwise it doesn't work!
I also installed the final version of the IT2006 software today. The first thing I noticed is that it is much faster or snappier then before, really nice.

The final version of the IT2006 OS/firmware for the Nokia 770 was released to developers
today. Get it here: maemo.org/downloads/nokia_770
so finally I got my IpHome home page applet running on Maemo2.0. It took a little
longer due to some undocumented changes (well besides in the header files of course).
Anyway get IpHome for Maemo2.0 here. I also updated some
other applications for Maemo2.0.
I started porting my applications to IT2006/Maemo2.0, the first application is my Bluetooth OBEX server sobexsrv.
The package is available via the ApplicationCatalog2006 and of course via my Nokia 770 page.
I also wanted to update my IpHome homepage applet, but I have trouble getting it to work on Maemo2.0, so you have to wait a little longer for it.

The developer BETA finally is out. See the announcement at:

I guess I have to rebuild all my packages :-)

I did some Nokia 770 hacking today and I needed socat
for part of it so I packaged it for others to use. I also packaged aircrack-ng
because kismet is still not really working on the 770. So far I only tested airodump and it seems
to work, it nicely displays all networks and happily dumps packets. What do you want more?
As usual the packages are listed on the Maemo Application Catalog and on my Nokia770 page.

several sites (Slashdot, Engadget)
are running stories about a new Nokia 770, I think this will just be a major software upgrade instead of a
new device. The reasons for this are following: the current software doesn't support all hardware like the
microphone which is obviously needed for any kind of VoIP application. VoIP or GoogleTalk is exactly the new
feature that is mentioned by these sites. Also, the 770 is still pretty new and it wouldn't make sense
to replace it already (making the 770 obsolete). The current 770 could do way better with just a software
upgrade so this is most likely to happen. Anyway they defently work on a new device but this will
not be released any time soon.
