Recently I came across a superb course of English language history and begin to understand better grammar rules and language phenomena.

Hopefully there will be more other applications for language learning and I will review them with great pleasure.3 1 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Mon, 14 May 2012 09:15:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-fbb474fe9de211e1a0e2ffd9d3fea8c0a8c0 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/nokia-n800-n810-take-notes-and-doodle.html
Xournal is a very useful and fun application for OS2008, the operating system run by the N800 and N810 internet tablets.

Its basic idea is very simple: it simulates having pads of paper, pencils, coloured pens, highlighters and rulers. This means you can write and draw on virtual bits of paper just like you would do in real life.

At this point many of you may be screaming at the monitor: "Why don't you just use real paper and real pens you idiot?" That's a fair point, but there are two main advantages that Xournal has over the real thing:

- You can write, draw and highlight in lots of different colours, on any colour or pattern paper you want, without having to carry a bag full of materials with you. It's like having a stationery shop in your pocket.

- You can save your work and refer to it later, or even turn it into a PDF file which can be e-mailed to other people and viewed on other devices such as your PC.

In any case, Xournal is completely free so if you're interested it's well worth installing it and trying it out for yourself.


How to install Xournal

Xournal is available for free from the maemo.org website's downloads section. Here's the exact way to get it:

1. On your tablet, open a new browser window and go to the address maemo.org

2. Click on the "Downloads" link at the top of the screen.

3. Click on the search box in the top right hand corner, enter the word "xournal" and click on the search button.

4. You should get just one result, the Xournal application. Click on its title and you'll be taken to a page all about it including user reviews and comments.

5. Click on the green arrow to install Xournal on your tablet. This will make the Application Manager open and start the installation process automatically.

6. Say yes, ok or I accept to all of the windows that appear.

7. Xournal will tell you when it has been installed successfully. You can now close the Application Manager and the web browser window.


How to use Xournal

You can activate Xournal from the Applications Menu (the green squares on the left). You'll find Xournal's icon in the Extras section, probably right at the bottom.

Xournal is a fairly simple application, but it also has lots of advanced options for people who want to tweak and customise it to their liking. The best way to get to know it is to try it out by doing a rough sketch and then pressing the buttons at the bottom and selecting the options in the menu at the top.

Here are some hints and tips to get you started though:

- The palette icon doesn't do anything, it seems to be just labelling the colour menu to its right.

- If you're using the text tool, if you've clicked somewhere and can't get any text to appear, try clicking on that place again.

- The horizontal arrows move you up and down through the various bits of paper you're working on.

- The curved arrows redo or undo your actions. You can press them several times if you want to remove or restore several actions. This might sound a bit odd, but it's very useful and you can see it demonstrated in the video above.

- You will find it easier to work with the paper by pressing the tablet's full screen button, and then clicking on the "best fit" option from the magnifying glass with the square inside it (in the bottom right corner).

- You can access the menu at the top while in full screen mode by pressing the tablet's "menu" button (it's the middle one of the three on the front of the N800, and next to the keyboard on the N810).

- You can zoom out with the magnifying glass with the "-" sign on it, and you can still write and draw while zoomed out. Pressing the "best fit" button is a good way of getting back close to the paper.

- You can save your work so far by clicking on the floppy disk icon at the bottom of the screen. You can start a new file by clicking on the icon that looks like a white bit of paper.

- You can turn what you've written and drawn as a PDF file by going to the menu at the top, then clicking "File", then clicking "Export to PDF".

- You can alter the thickness of pencils, rubbers (erasers), or highighters by clicking on the menu at the top of the screen, then clicking on "Tools", then "Pen Options" or "Eraser Options" or "Highlighter Options".

- You can change the style and colour of paper from the menu at the top, in the "Journal" section.

- You can save your current preferences or set them to save automatically from the main menu at the top, in the "Options" section.

- Don't be afraid to try stuff out, there are lots of useful things in the menu at the top. Remember to use the arrows at the bottom of some menus to see all their options.


How to remove Xournal

If you no longer want it, you can remove Xournal from your tablet by the following procedure:

1. Click on the Applications Menu.

2. Select "Settings".

3. Select "Applications Manager".

4. Select "Show Installed Applications".

5. Select Xournal from the list, and click on "Uninstall" at the bottom of the screen.

Xournal should now automatically remove itself from your tablet.1 0 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:01:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-22c4121a835e11e1bb3587062ae3b94fb94f http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/04/canola-and-future-of-nokia-tablets.html
We now feel that the time has come for Nokia to abandon the current graphical interface used by the tablets, and replace it with something simpler, more streamlined and intuitive. It should be something that even a non-technical person could use without any prior knowledge, and without having to consult any instructions.

There's a wonderful interface already available on the tablets which is up to this task, but so far Nokia don't seem to want to use it. It's called Canola.


How the tablets got their current interface

The Nokia internet tablets currently use a graphical interface called Hildon, which was first developed for their 7700 and 7710 smartphones way back in 2004. The latest version of Hildon is to be found in OS2008 on the N800 and N810, and it still follows the basic design principles of the original 2004 version.

However, the world has changed quite a bit since 2004. More and more ordinary people want to use the internet on a portable device. Pocket-sized computers are no longer playthings of nerds and businesspeople, they're becoming useful tools in everyday life. The portable internet is going mass market, just like mobile phones went mass market.

The very fact that a site like the Internet Tablet School now receives thousands of visitors a day shows how Nokia's tablets have entered the mainstream. We only write tutorials for tablet beginners, and our visitor numbers keep growing and growing.

These everyday users need to be catered to if the tablets are to mature beyond their "hobbyist" image and attract large numbers of users.

The very first home computers in the late 1970s and early 1980s had their roots in hobbyist computer kits that sold a few thousand. Home computer sales skyrocketed into the millions when they became easy enough for anyone to use, and didn't expect users to have any prior knowledge. The Nokia tablets are now at a similar sort of turning point.


Why Canola should become the Nokia tablets' new interface

Canola tears up all the rules that Hildon laid down about interfaces. It does the job mentioned above: it completely ignores what's gone before and reinvents the tablets as devices that anyone could use, even people who are using them for the very first time.

The visual prompts and layouts used by Canola are spot-on, it's always obvious what you have to do to make something happen. This is very important because if you instinctively know how to use the interface first time round, you won't forget how to do it later.

The beauty of Canola is that, unlike Hildon, it requires no instructions at all in order to use it. Every icon and option has a very specific and unambiguous meaning, so navigation between pages is extremely intuitive. When something moves on the screen in Canola it does so gracefully, making the whole process seem efficient and fast. Put all these together and you have a very newbie-friendly interface indeed, which is what the tablets need right now.

You can see a demonstration of Canola in action in the video above.

You can also try Canola out on your N800 or N810 tablet right now by going to maemo.org on your tablet's browser, then click on Downloads, search for Canola, then click on its title, and finally click on the green arrow to install it.

Canola isn't perfect, and it still needs lots of work because at present it only handles multimedia applications. However, based on what it's like so far, we are absolutely convinced that Canola (or something very much like Canola) is what Nokia should use as a basis for a new tablet interface.

Hildon's design princples are from the days when portable devices were bought by small numbers of serious users. Canola points to the future, and shows us portable devices being bought by large numbers of casual users. If Nokia wants the tablets to survive and thrive, they need to embrace the future and adopt a Canola-like tablet interface.

That's all.8 11 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Sun, 10 Jul 2011 11:13:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-bc1e0dea0b4311dd8051390d18b74c544c54 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/03/internet-tablet-school-taking-break.html
If you're interested, you may want to follow Nokia's announcements at the upcoming CTIA 2008 trade fair from the 1st to 3rd of April. One announcement will probably be the "N810 WiMAX Edition", which is a normal N810 tablet that also has WiMAX compatibility. WiMAX is a very new kind of wireless network which works like Wi-Fi but has a much longer range. However, there aren't very many WiMAX networks yet, so this isn't quite as exciting as it sounds, but things may change in the future of course.

Incidentally, we do know Nokia have some other interesting tablet-related announcements too, but we can't say what they are yet! ;-)1 1 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Fri, 10 Dec 2010 14:59:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-de2af3b6fe9711dcaf6df3f1bb3f497f497f http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2010/01/tablet-school-closes-but-tutorials.html 10 1 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Sun, 03 Jan 2010 10:03:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-f191973af84511de8d21894332b9e4b5e4b5 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/01/more-about-nokia-n800.html
In 2007 Nokia N800 was introduced as a replacement for Nokia 770 version, which was one of the first tablets ever. It had a large variety of new and improved features such as:


processor, which was faster than ever
doubled the amount of RAM
additional improvements such as a built-in camera for video calls
built-in stereo speakers
2 x SD-sized memory card slots
a built-in stand, which I use every day


Nokia N800 started to win buyers attention – it was nice looking with its attractive curvy steel-and-plastic casing. And to round everything up, it was added to N-series and if you are a Nokia fan, you know what difference it makes.




But let’s talk more about improvements of N800 compared to Nokia 770. It had a totally new operating system (Internet Tablet OS 2007), which replaced the 770's OS 2006. But all these improvements didn’t make this tablet perfect. In late 2007, Nokia introduced a new N810. This new tablet was the replacement for the N800.

The new version offered improvements of the operating system, new OS 2008 was released, and a built-in keyboard and GPS receiver, which sounded like an insane thing back then.

The N800 even has some of its own hardware advantages to counter the N810's keyboard and GPS. Nokia N800 has two fully functional memory card slots and the N800 has a built-in FM radio receiver.

All in all, the N800 was one of the first good tablets, which I got to use and I pride myself upon it.

Skype is a popular internet phone application, which lets you make and receive free calls to and from other Skype users. It doesn't matter where you are, you can talk to anyone else on Skype free of charge.

You can optionally also make and receive cheap calls to and from ordinary phones (including landline phones and mobile phones) by paying a fee to use the extra services SkypeOut (for calling normal phones) and SkypeIn (for receiving calls from normal phones).

Skype effectively turns the tablets into mobile phones, especially if you buy the extra services. It works through the tablets' Wi-Fi connection and also through their Bluetooth mobile phone connection, though the sound quality may be very low if your phone connection is very slow (for example the quality is very bad on 2G phone networks but better on 2.5G, 3G and 3.5G networks).

Skype on the tablet is the same thing as Skype on a PC or Skype on a smartphone, it's all one network and all Skype users can talk to each other whatever device they're using. You can use Skype on many devices simultaneously. For example, you could have the same Skype account running on your tablet and on your PC, and any incoming calls will ring on both devices. You can answer these calls on any device you want, it doesn't make any difference.


How much does it cost to use Skype?

Calls between Skype members are free, you can talk for as long as you want and Skype will not charge anything.

Bear in mind though that if you're using Skype on the tablets through a Bluetooth mobile phone connection, you will have to pay whatever data fees your phone network operator normally charges you for using the phone as a modem. Check with your network operator if you're unsure what these charges are, and ask them about any special deals they have as many networks offer deals where you just pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited access.

The cost of calls to ordinary phone numbers depends on which country they're in. You can see a complete list of these charges on the Skype website. It doesn't matter which country you are in, all that matters is which country the number you're ringing is in.


How to install Skype on the N800 and N810

The N800 and N810 have a Skype icon in the "My Selection" part of the Applications menu (the green squares on the left). If Skype is already installed, clicking on this icon starts it up. If Skype isn't already installed, clicking on this will start the automatic installation process. Say "yes" and "ok" and "I agree" to all the questions it asks, and the Skype app should install without any problems.

If the tablet won't let you install Skype by clicking on the icon, you probably need to update the tablet's firmware. You can find out how by clicking here to view our firmware update tutorial.


How to sign in to Skype

Once Skype is installed, click on its icon in the Applications menu to activate it. You may have to agree to the app's user agreement the first time you use it.

If you already have a Skype account, for example from Skype on your PC or any other device, you can use this same account to access Skype on the tablet. Simply enter your username and password, and tick the box if you want it to automatically log you in when you start the application in the future (this is highly recommended!).

If you don't have a Skype account, click on the "New User?" icon to create one.

After you've signed in with your account's username and password, you will see your Skype contacts list appear on the left of the screen. This will happen even if you normally use Skype on a PC, because the contacts list is stored online and automatically downloaded onto whatever device you're using.


How to call other Skype members

If you already have some Skype contacts, you can call them by just selecting their name from the list and pressing the green "Call" button.

When you do call people a special window will appear which includes buttons for ending the call, muting the call and adjusting the volume. It will ring just like a normal phone until the other person answers.

If you want to add Skype contacts, click on the menu at the top and then "Add A Contact". It will then ask you to search for whoever you want to add as a contact. If you already know their Skype username, enter this in the search box and click on "Find". If you only know their real name, you can enter this too but the results may not be the person you think they are. For example searching for "John Smith" displays the usernames of many people with that name.

When you do find a username you want to add to the contacts, click on it on the search results and then click on "Add Skype Contact" at the bottom of the screen. Tick or untick the box depending on whether you want to share your Skype details with that person, and then click on "OK" to add them to your contacts. If you don't want to add any contacts at all, click on the "X" in the top right hand corner.

Remember that you can use Skype on any device to call people on any device. Skype on a tablet can be used to call Skype members on a PC for example, and you can have Skype active on many devices at once. This is handy if you want to use the tablet as a Skype phone around the house or on the move, so that you're not tied down to using Skype on your PC.


How to receive calls from Skype members

To receive calls on Skype, the Skype application must be active. When someone calls a window will pop up in the application with an option to answer the call or to reject it.

However, you do not have to have Skype constantly on the screen for it to be active. After you've signed in, you can leave Skype running in the background and use the tablet for something else if you prefer. This can be done by clicking on the minimise icon in the top right hand corner (it looks like an arrow pointing down at a line).

When a call comes through, you will hear the Skype ringtone, a notice will appear in the top right corner saying there's an incoming call, and the Skype icon in the task bar will flash. See the video above for an example of this happening.

If the Skype app is minimised when the call comes through, you can restore it to full size by clicking on its icon on the left of the screen. You can then answer the call by clicking on "Answer".


How to call real phone numbers on Skype

Skype lets you call real phone numbers using a service called SkypeOut. This costs money, in fact it's the main way that the Skype company receives an income.

If you want to call a real phone number, click on the blue phone icon near the top of the screen (watch the video above if you're unsure where this is).

You then enter the phone number using the on-screen keypad, but remember that you have to enter it in an international form, which means using the country code of the person you're calling and also dropping the first 0 from their number if there is one. For example, the country code for Finland is 358 so calls to Finland through Skype always begin +358. If a Finnish phone number has a 0 at its beginning, this is dropped in the international form of that number, so "09 12345678" would become "+358 9 12345678".

You need to have Skype Credit if you want to phone real numbers though. This can be added by clicking on the "Buy Skype Credit" link in the Skype application, which is next to the on-screen keypad. You can pay for Skype Credit using a credit card, or alternatively you may be able to buy Skype Credit vouchers with cash in certain shops.

As noted in the costs section above, the cost of calls to real numbers on Skype depends entirely on where the number is. It makes no difference where you are. You can see the current rates by clicking on the "SkypeOut rates" link next to the on-screen keypad.


How to receive calls from real numbers on Skype

As well as SkypeOut, there's another service available from Skype called SkypeIn, which gives you a real phone number that other people can call. Calls to this number go automatically to your Skype account, and it effectively turns your Skype account into a phone line.

Like SkypeOut, you have to pay for SkypeIn, but it's just a flat fee which lets you use the number for a certain amount of time.

To add SkypeIn to your account using the tablet, click on the Skype menu at the top, then Tools, then Settings, then click on the small arrow pointing right on the right side of the screen until you get a tab called "Services". Click on the "Extend" link next to the "SkypeIn" icon. It will then open part of the Skype website, follow the instructions to proceed.


How to tell if you've received a missed call

You can see a complete list of calls made and received by clicking on the History icon on the main page of the Skype app. The icon looks like a clock with a blue frame, it's next to the Contacts and SkypeOut icons.

If you have received an unanswered call, the History icon should have a red symbol next to it, and you can see who called you by clicking on the icon.


Where is the tablet's microphone? Where should I talk into?

In normal mode the tablet works like a speakerphone, you just put it on a table and talk to it like you would talk to a real person.

However, if you really want to know, the N800's microphone is in the middle of the top edge of the tablet, while the N810's microphone is in the middle of the bottom edge of the tablet.


What about privacy? How do I call someone without the call coming through the tablet speakers?

Very easy answer: just plug in some headphones. Any headphones will do as long as they have a standard 3.5mm plug.

You can also use the headphones that come with the tablet, which include a built-in microphone inside the plastic button along the length of the cable.

Alternatively you can use a Bluetooth wireless headset, which is useful if you want to handle calls without having to take the tablet out of a pocket or bag. Click here to see our tutorial on using Bluetooth headsets with the tablets.


How to use Skype for instant messaging

As well as voice calls, you can chat to other Skype members in text. To do so, just select a member from the contacts list and click on the blue "Chat" icon. Type in whatever you want to say, and they will see it the next time they log into Skype. They don't have to be logged on to start a chat with them. When you've finished with a chat close it by clicking on the "X" in the top right hand corner.

If you want to go back to a chat, click on the Skype menu at the top, then click on Chats, then select the name of the person you're chatting to.


How to alter the settings on Skype on the tablet

There are all kinds of options and settings on the Skype application. You can access these by clicking on the menu at the top of the screen, then Tools, then Settings.

The settings screen is divided up into many tabs, and you can scroll through these tabs by clicking on the small arrows on either side of them. When you reach the last tab in either direction, the arrow will turn grey.

When you've finished adjusting the settings, click "OK" to save your alterations, or "Cancel" to discard them.


How to sign in with a different Skype account

If you want to use a different Skype account on the same tablet, you have to sign out of the account you're currently using. To do this, click on the menu at the top and then Sign Out. You can then enter the username and password of the account you wish to use instead, and sign in to this different account.


How do I install Skype on my computer?

Just click here to go to Skype.com and then click on the Download link. There are versions of Skype for Windows PCs, Linux PCs and Macintoshes.

If you are going to use Skype on your computer, you will probably need a headset, but these can be bought very cheaply at any computer or electronics shop. Just ask the salesperson for help and explain you only want something cheap (don't let them sell you expensive headphones, you do not need them for Skype!).0 0 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Sat, 02 May 2009 07:43:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-e32a812684b511e19a8b374273e3fac3fac3 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/10/future-of-nokia-maemo-and-internet.html 4 11 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:40:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-de7edcfaa1f911ddb6320f16f030168a168a http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/08/internet-tablet-schools-first-year.html 3 2 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Fri, 22 Aug 2008 02:17:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-3c61ef22700611ddbaec47bf90dc93c193c1 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/08/introducing-tablet-scene-website.html 7 3 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:38:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-82d2d5da631c11dda8d401eb601f30dc30dc http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/07/nokia-n810-n800-first-steps-with-your.html 2 1 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:13:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-b22b00585d6a11dd93f5b595e329d79fd79f http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/07/nokia-n810-n800-how-to-use-tablets-with.html 1 1 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:22:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-ef830a90598c11ddb96ae5f0dd42dd9bdd9b http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/07/nokia-n810-n800-how-to-add-calendar-and.html 0 1 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:55:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-29e46238578511ddae92e74e3434d491d491 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/07/nokia-n800-n810-how-to-crochet-lovely.html 5 0 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:15:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-2950276a543f11dda93d25d0093cc6e2c6e2 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/07/nokia-n800-n810-how-to-set-up-and-use-e.html 2 0 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Sun, 13 Jul 2008 13:12:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-f9a6850e50ce11dda99feb978ec081c481c4 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/06/alternative-way-to-use-usb-accessories.html 1 0 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:45:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-0660dde23bb911dd9c670d417a245f315f31 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/06/nokia-n800-n810-how-to-attach-hdd-aka.html 5 0 ]]> Krisse Juorunen <krisse@allaboutsymbian.com> feed:56de43f9dd953ded91cbdb00be724d0f Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:30:00 +0000 http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-4aa1308c302a11ddb7a92b3a9e9e65f265f2 http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2008/05/nokia-n800-n810-how-to-connect-usb.html
USB flash drives, which are sometimes referred to as thumb drives are basically flash memory cards with a USB connector. They could be easily carried around and can store up to 64GB of information. Most of my friends use these to make backups of important files or to carry needed files with them.

The N800 and N810 both come with built-in memory card slots, but both these data storage devices work identically but flash drives are capable of storing larger amounts of information.

The only difference is in the the plug, the USB plug in this case.

Well, when I started writing this blog posts, I didn't know that a similar article already existed, so please refer to this article to find out how to connect a USB drive to a tablet by using a USB cable:
