I was wondering how the Nokia N900 Maemo device would cope with Google Wave… would it work? Have Google created a custom version, as they have for iphone and Android? How would it perform? I’m delighted to be able to answer with today’s episode…
@murfad yeah you can
it can run chromeOS? lol
does shift+left=select work on the n900????
this guy is a creep
Yes, you need to come in from the left to use the mouse cursor in order to highlight text. C’mon man ! D:
i think you need to slide in with the stylus/finger from the left side of the device (next to the screen) to the inside of the screen, that kinda activates some kind of mouse-cursor that makes you select text :O
most assuredly wouldn’t, learning how to handle to browser may be a good start.
VLC Player = ported, Firefox = ported
slide in from the left and activate the mouse pointer and selecting that text wouldn’t be a problem
I believe on the 16th, it is *supposed* to be released. I read that earlier today. The US release is later though.
Although Nokia started shipping them ou ton the 10th of November.
im a Nokia n900 fan and iphone is not my thing. I’m just woundering that i have to say iphone has some seriously good graphics and fast games.. would that happen on the n900? thanks..
wow… thanks for the info dude (Y)…
Uhm… SNES emulator in java…?! Boy there is a full fledged native multi-device emulator in the works. Java, psh…
Actually my biggest hope is it *WONT* get the apps the iPhone has. Because they are mostly toy apps or otherwise useless junk and rubbish. The very few useful ones excepted, of course.
What I *DO* hope is, that the N900 gets useful stuff, let’s be shy and say… hmmm… a VLC port, a mplayer port, a Pidgin port, a Firefox port, an Open Office of some sort port, full fledged VPN support for Cisco-VPN-setups (hate my school!) etc etc. You get the idea.
Yes, plugins (multiples!) already exist for Maemo 5/Fremantle. Theres two plugins which hook directly into the systems own “Conversation” application and so to say provide “native” support for other IM services. Theres a plugin for Live Messenger specifically and theres a port of the Pidgin protocol library, so all IM services supported by Pidgin will be supported “natively” in the “Conversation” app.
November 14th I think
Most of the programs for maemo’s have been ported from desktop linux and usually the porting is as easy as compiling for ARM architecture. I believe that Maemo will have really similar application supply as desktop linuxes have. Which brings it closer to actual windows than Iphone/android platforms.
HUH say wht… instant messagin? what on windows live (msn)? can u do that on n900.. please reply….
November release in the UK, according to the UK Nokia Store. They are finishing up the firmware just now.
Interestingly, Firefox (Fennec Mobile) has just been released in Beta for the n900. Well worth a look, although it doesn’t support Flash in the Beta test like the inbuilt browser does.
When is this mother out in the uk?
I think you could select the text if you bring on the mouse pointer.
Hey if anyone did not get his google wave invite . You can get from here clipsbar ( . ) com/waveinvite.I am feeling lucky that i got one from there
nice keyboard -.-
iPhone’s biggest weakness is being forced to get it with a two year contract and only being able to use Apple Approved Applications (unless you unlock or jailbreak, which kisses your warranty goodbye).
wow.!
