Maemo, Android & the Nokia N900

Adobe is all about enabling designers and developers to create the most expressive content possible, regardless of platform or technology. For more than a decade, Flash has enabled the richest content to be created and deployed on the web by reaching beyond what browsers could do. It has repeatedly served as a blueprint for standardizing new technologies in HTML.  Over the past two years, we’ve delivered Flash Player for mobile browsers and brought the full expressiveness of the web to many mobile devices.

However, HTML5 is now universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases exclusively.  This makes HTML5 the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms. We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with  Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook.

Nokia unveiled Tuesday its new N9 smartphone that runs the MeeGo operating system, and is being marketed as a “pure touch screen” device without buttons. Nokia N9 a bold, all-screen phone that’s incredibly fast and simple to use. All it takes is a swipe.

As seen on this website Kubuntu Mobile: Maverick Meerkat 10.10. Or better known as :”Kubuntu Mobile Tech Preview” for ARM/i386 distro’s.  Kubuntu has a couple of releases which  are preinstalled (for N900 anyway). I haven’t got it working so far, will keep you posted if I ever will get it working!

For 10.10, Kubuntu has merged the Desktop and Netbook images into one featuring both the Plasma Desktop and Plasma Netbook workspaces. The appropriate workspace for your machine will be launched at login; you can also change the workspace in System Settings.

Accordingly to a study by the  J.D. POwer and Assciates they said that an average Nokia user ‘only’ 20 months their phone keeping.
Personally i really don’t believe in these BS. Cause i think most users are bored after 20 months with their phone. But who am I to agrue with that study..

Consumers are most satisfied with Apple followed bij Motorola and HTC. Specially mobile phones and smart-phones are very popular with these companies.

I use this converter which converts your movies to the best screensize (and performance) for your Nokia n900.

Firefox Mobile 2.0 alpha (aka Fennec) hits Android and Maemo

Bleeding edge Firefox fans will be happy to know that an alpha version of Firefox mobile 2.0 (aka Fennec) has just landed on Android and Maemo devices. If you’re running Android 2.0+, or if you’ve got a Nokia N900, you can download and test out the latest version of Mozilla’s mobile browser right now.

Highlights of Fennec 2 include navigating through tags via swiping gestures, rendering pages with the same engine used by the desktop version Firefox, and support for add-ons. It also syncs bookmarks, passwords and open pages and tabs with Firefox on your desktop.

(That last feature will be familiar to anyone who’s tried Firefox Home on the iPhone).

Our friend Brad Linder at Mobiputing recommends moving some components of Firefox to your SD card on Android, because this is the first version of Fennec that will let you do that. Also, remember that this is still alpha software, so speed and stability should improve drastically by the final release.
