We have got around 900 submissions to the N810 maemo device program, which is an interesting subset of the >7000 users registered in maemo.org. We have 500 discounts to be distributed among people that is or could be pushing this platform forward. Now we only need to connect this sensible, common-sense principle to 500 userIDs.
Because [...]

Maemo roadmapping, revisited. Now it’s better connected to our internal reality. The development platform plans are exposed, although more details should be still provided via wiki pages and enhancement requests. Our aim is also to provide more details about the maemo linux platform itself. We’ll see. The application level (Nokia supported & maemo garage) has [...]

Jordi Mas and Guillem Jover have been writing recently in the maemo-developers list about the limitations for localization (L10n) in the maemo platform. They are two of my preferred local heroes and they know well what is to be a user of an unsupported language. Being also a Catalan speaker myself, I don’t need to [...]

There is so much to read about the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet (text, pictures, Flash, maemo announcement). Sorry for throwing another blog post, although this one is targeted to developers only.
Today a third Nokia Internet Tablet was unveiled. It goes a step further/higher in the Nokia & Nseries channels. Expect more people to know [...]

This attempts to be a common response to a meta-thread with instances in maemo-users and InternetTabletTalk.
- Sorry for the SDHC bugfix release, but the other option would have been just to wait for Chinook. We thought it was worth going ahead to avoid more hassle to certain SDHC owners doing certain long downloads over the [...]

Only 48h ago I was wondering GNOME Mobile: where are we? I got fast & precious feedback via Earth, Wind & Fire (can’t link to the improvised lunch shared with 6 GNOME+maemo hackers caught in the SMS corridors). Also some thoughts appeared in my laptop screen, surely pushed by the GNOME vivid source code itself.
I [...]

I’m introducing the GNOME Mobile initiative next Tuesday in the OpenMind conference (open source / open content \ open innovation - Tampere FI). The program is interesting, so interesting that it is clear that I can’t just go with the basics under the arm.
I’m gathering some ideas to open minds. Throw yours for inclusion if [...]

Finland and its 5,3M inhabitants keep surprising me, specially on anything relating to mobiles & Linux (both local inventions). This time is an Internet Tablet (aka MID / Multimedia Internet Device) called EB, manufactured by ElektroBit with Intel and Linux inside. Menlow processor, slide-out keyboard, 3,2Mb camera, GPS, Wlan / Bluetooth / Wimax / HSDPA… [...]

Today we have released the maemo 4.0 beta Chinook SDK, and it feels good.
Chinook will be a major release with several enhancements, new features and an API break to get a better alignment with the contemporary GNU/Linux desktop (details). This beta still misses some components but it is good enough to port applications from maemo Bora.
We have chosen to release this beta SDK as soon as it has been technically possible in order to give more time to developers. We still can’t compromise to a final release date, but you will know it with a decent margin of time.
maemo developers will find a modular installer bringing some flexibility to your development environment. Try it out and tell us what you think, we have still time to improve it for the final release. This is a first step towards a next generation SDK to be developed during the Diablo and Elephanta release cycles, but this is another story.
I hope you enjoy Chinook’s fresh air!
