Desde ayer es posible descargar una actualización de software para los internet tablet (N810 y N800). La nueva versión 4.2008.36-5 incluye mejoras en el correo, navegador web y conectividad.

Como recordaréis la actualización se puede realizar directamente desde el gestor de repositorios sin perdida de datos. Nosotros hemos podido actualizar con este método sin problemas, pero en los foros de ITT, las opiniones sobre el tema son diversas, por lo que es recomendable hacer un backup antes de comenzar el proceso.

So that was last Monday. And now I've had a few days to enjoy it.
It is fantastic, better than the 770 in every way I wanted. It's faster, can handle multiple apps open much easier. It doesn't stall when one app is busy.
The slide out thumb board is great. It takes some getting used to, but has allowed me to write this whilst waiting for Kat in various shops. And I'm now in the queue at Boswells

...And now I'm not...

Anyway, the camera, as you can see is not great. It's a web cam rather than a camera for taking stills.

Although you can run Skype, they do not currently support video... but that's OK because Gizmo does. Are you listening Skype?? But for video support I'd never even have looked at Gizmo. Now it's installed on two machines, and i will set up my mum next time I visit...

The device comes with 2gig internal memory, in addition to 256mb flash. And space for an 8gig external mini SD.
In one week I've already cloned the OS from the flash to the 2G so that I have more application install space.
And I got an 8G card so I have plenty of storage.
The process of cloning was made fairly trivial by
penguinbait
My only issue was having to disable the extended swap settings and reboot before the install tools could do their thing.
This process kept all my apps and settings, but gives me loads more room to play with applications. Thanks penguinbait.

My one gripe is not being able to connect at work. But even that has a promising outlook.
Kalle Valo has announced an opensource wifi driver
Which will open up all the connectivity enjoyed by my laptop, so very happy about that.

Other nice things that I've found.
E-mail notification, it automatically checks for mail, even without the mail app running, and provides blinking notifications, but it does it nicely. It shows up the mail titles, and gives a way to open it or close the notification.

Bluetooth file transfer, having paired my mobile phone I found it showed up in file manager. From there i could navigate the phone's filesystem, and stream the mp3's from there straight to the audio player.

But mostly it's speed make all things better, browsing is reasonable, youtube works, facebook works.
All the cool multimedia apps run at sensible speed.

If the rumours of a 3g capable variant turn to reality I may have to upgrade, but for now I'm one happy nokia fan-boy.

HOWTO: Reflashing Your Maemo (N800/N810) Device

Seamless Software Upgrade v4.2008.36-5 is out at Internet Tablet Talk

Just found this item from Planet Maemo from Nokia's Head of Marketing, Peter Schneider on the future of the Maemo platform with "Fremantle", the code name of the next major Maemo update - Maemo 5.0

"What can we get out of Fremantle" - Peter Schneider - Nokia on Vimeo.

When I scan the available networks i would see the XOHM icon pop up in the connection selection box. So it is out there hiding somewhere. On a few occasions I have been able to maintain a sustained connection. But 99% of the time the connection gets dropped immediately. I guess it recognizes my device is not an authorized one. :-) Sprint XOHM site says it will soon be available in Boston area. May be one of these days it will be for real. The service plan they have going seems to be decent with $45/month with no subscription contract, with all you can eat data. Stuff like Gmail supported email account comes packaged with it. We have already heard stories about Google and other ISPs talking to Sprint. Not sure how the pricing works with voice services; whether its a data only service or are they bundling voice services on top of it. I guess I can install Skype, Gizmo etc. on my device, but unless I have a for-fee subscription account to them I can't make a call to a real phone involving a PSTN/PBX in the middle.

But I think besides the data speeds I really like the *idea* of being able to use devices built on open platforms like Maemo, Android, etc. and not having to deal with the proverbial operator (or Apple) walled gardens. Assuming I am able to buy them unlocked. Unlike unlocked iPhones which are selling in Hongkong for almost a grand, devices like N810 do not cost that much, granted they are lacking in the slickness department.

More than being worried about being locked to a provider's network, what I really want is the ability to easily download and tryout 3rd party apps. I can point my N810 app manager to a repository and check out the latest apps out there. I like the idea of being able to treat my handheld device like a PC and have unfettered access to applications and services. XOHM has a service option for home use and if XOHM@home does not control what I download and install on my home PCs, then they should adopt the same philosophy for my mobile device and not cripple my application manager directly on indirectly. Much has been said about Apple's tight control of its Application store. Android apparently is going to have its own marketplace too. Nokia seem to be lacking in this department. But I have paid for and installed a number of 3rd party S60 apps from Handango and other sites. Needs little more legwork (or keyboard work) I guess. Application stores have a purpose in letting people easily discover applications of interest and there may be applications that can compromise the integrity of a device and the network it sits on. We have already seen and grown up through that in our desktop realm. We the consumers are much more savvy now. If we are really moving into an era of mobile internet that is open and ecourages innovation of the masses (crowd-sourcing is the buzzword I believe) I would rather see us consumers better educated and better equipped with tools to deal with threats rather than being told what app we can or cannot install. I would much rather have access to premium and open respositories out there and being able to decide what works for me and what does not. And I am willing to pay a bit more for my devices to be able to do that.

May be majority of the consumers don't feel the need for this level of openness and may be they are happy with whatever apps they are told to use. But I strongly believe that attitude will change over time as we move into an era where seem to be going from cradle to grave with mobile devices in our hands.

XOHM being new, Sprint will probably do all it can and make things as unfettered and open as possible to attract us. But I wonder, once the usage picks up and p2p apps start flooding the network, whether all that openness will last too long. Next month onward Comcast will start putting cap on my downloads. Will have to see how that works out.

Update: Yeah looks like the language is in place after all for the *caps*. Wonder what constitutes heavy use.

How Maemo Approaches Open Source « flors

The Hava wireless HD player on the Nokia/Maemo platform. It certainly looks like it has potential especially with the playback of HD content on the Maemo platform.

Still, if you want an all-in-one media player for the desktop platform, I have a suggestion that might help ;-)

[via TabletBlog]

Hava Wireless HD and the Nokia N810.

Enfim, o N810 é o aparelho ideal para você que usa internet o dia inteiro e não para em um só lugar. Com ele você acessa seus e-mails, entra na internet, faz um post no seu blog, isso tudo em qualquer lugar que estiver e que tenha uma Wi-Fi disponível.

E aí, o que acharam desse brinquedo?

Non sapete chi sono quelli eh?! Beh.. quello bello sulla sinistra sono io, il biondo con la giacca invece è Matthias Ettrich, IL fondatore di KDE, colui che ha dato inizio alla favola del desktop libero e semplice da usare. Praticamente, un mito..

Ok, tornando ai racconti dell'akademy, c'è da notare che adesso mi ritrovo con un Nokia N810 in più.. praticamente un tablet senza GSM, in teoria una piattaforma di sviluppo "regalataci" dalla Nokia all'akademy (solo 100 eh..) per svilupparci su e "portare" KDE anche lì dentro

Che dire.. è molto divertente per giocare, ha GPS, wifi, bluetooth, USB, slot miniSD e soprattutto Maemo, che non è altro che una distribuzione linux adatta a questi cosi (c'è persino il terminale..).
La gente dell'akademy è stata fortemente impressionata da questi tablet, inutile dirlo. E ho visto che almeno due giorni sono stati "buttati" nel porting di plasma, kmail, kopete, akregator sui tablet.. Anch'io ho gigioneggiato parecchio, devo dire. Ma non sul nokia. Invece di portare avanti i miei lavori (plasmagik, kipi-plugins) mi sono divertito con un konso-plasmoide ("konsolator", (c) NotMart) e con una piccola classe (inutile, l'ho capito dopo un pomeriggio di lavoro però..) per utilizzare kparts dentro i plasmoidi.

Cosa aggiungere di più?? Sarà meglio smettersela qui per ora e raccontare in seguito del konso-plasmoide e di cosa mi sono portato a casa da questa grande avventura!!

Nokia-N810-23-14:~# ps -ef|grep gvm
10240 user      24544 SW< /usr/bin/gvm/gvmlauncher
10350 user     165996 SW< /usr/bin/gvm/gvm -R -H -w /home/user/.gvm --dynheap=2

This is on the intenal memory, so i want to change it to external SDHC.

It is very simple, do as following.

1. Backup current files under .gvm (you can use tar from terminal) and remove .gvm
2. Make directory "gvm" on the external SDHC (e.g.  /media/mmc1/gvm )
3. Restore files to the directory
4. make symbolic link from external memory to original memory (ln -sf /media/mmc1/gvm /home/user/.gvm)

Have Fun!! ;-)

BTW, I use mmc1 with not vfat but ext2. format on a Linux Box.

---------------------------

N810で引き続きGVM環境構築中。今度はPOBoxの導入。
みなさんすでに実施されているのかもしれませんが、キーカスタマイズの部分とかググって見つからなかったので自分用のメモです。

POBoxは超がたくさんつくほど有名な日本語入力システムですね。

POBox for Palm OS 5
http://homepage.mac.com/yasseima/FileSharing14.html

展開したフォルダの中の以下の2つはGVMの"Install"メニューから導入。

• POBoxFep.prc
• POBoxFepPanel.prc

残った2つ（辞書ファイル）はGVMのメニューから導入しようとするとエラーが出る。これが入らないとPOBoxが動作しません。
調べてみると、以下のくだりにちょっと書いてあるみたい。*.pdbファイルを外部メモリに導入しようとしてしまい、現状GVMが外部メモリをサポートしていないのでエラーになるとのこと(怪しい理解)

Internet Tablet Talk - Note Pad on N810 using Garnet VM -
http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20558&goto=nextnewest

で、２つの辞書ファイルは、HotSync経由で本体にインストールするよう指定してうまく入りました。

POBoxFEPの設定は付属のテキストなどを読んで設定。これで日本語入力できることが確認できました。

このままだとPOBoxがずっとonなので、切り替えが必要です。通常付属のDAソフトなどで行うようですが、GVMではDA系のソフトは動作しないとの情報があるので、別の方法でFEPのon/offを設定しなければなりません。私は2つ設定しました。

• GUI -> FEPSwitchを使用
• Key -> 鍵盤交換を使用

まずGUI側ですが、FEPの切り替えで広く使用されているFEPSwitchを使用させていただきました。ありがとうございます！！

PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICT CONTENT - project-enigma FEPSwitch -
http://www.project-enigma.jp/wiki/index.cgi?page=products%2FFEPSwitch

起動して、FEP切り替えに割り当てたいボタンをタップするだけなので楽ちんです。

私はシルクエリアの"123"に割り当てました。これで、とりあえずスタイラスでタップするだけでPOBox on/offの切り替えができます。

こんどはキーボード制御です。N810にはせっかくリッチなキーボードがついているのだから、バンバンこれで日本語書かないと！！

FEP切り替えといえば、Treoでは右シフトキーが定番で、私もTreo680では皆様にお世話になりながら設定したものですが、N810の場合そのままでは右シフトキーを押しても何も起こりません。

とりあえずキーコードとか調べるべ、ということで、PalmTechさんのDispKeyを使用させていただきました。ありがとうございます！こういうのがさらっとあるのがPalmwareのすばらしいところですよねー。

PalmTech - DispKey -
http://homepage1.nifty.com/abby/PalmTech/DispKey/DispKey.html

起動して右シフトキーを押すと…何も起こらない。何も聞かせて反応しない。
なんか特殊なキーコードなのかなぁ。ヘタレなのでさっさと挫折orz
Shift+Spaceで変更することにしました。だれか右シフト一発でいける方法教えてくださいm(_ _)m

お、出た出た。
ということでここで天下の「鍵盤交換」のお出ましです。いつもお世話になってます！

鍵盤交換 - キーの仮想的入れ替え
http://www.geocities.com/nagamatu/KeyReplace/

DispKeyで調べた結果、鍵盤交換で以下のように設定します。
変換後の値は鍵盤交換のサイトに載っている物です。これがFEP on/offのコードなのだそうです。

• chr     0020 ⇒ 011b
• code  0000 ⇒ 0000
• mod  0001 ⇒ 0008

これで、無事設定が有効になりました。Shift + SpaceでPOBoxのon/offができます。
これめっちゃ快適ですわ。あとはLandscape表示だなぁ…結構実用でいけるかも。

Enjoy the great N810 Palm Life!! ;-)

(The following is in Japaese,  sorry)

GVMにDatebk6を導入したのですが、問題が発生。Hotsyncが100%失敗するようになってしまいました。Hotsyncのログでは以下のような出力が。

-- Backing up DateBk6 to C:\Program Files\palmOne\xxxx\Backup\DateBk6.PRC
Backup synchronization failed

HotSync Error: Connection is lost (6410)

とまぁ、こんな感じです。これじゃ使えない…

というわけでググったらあっさりと回避策が見つかりました。

Internet Tablet Talk  - Access Releases Garnet VM Beta 2 -
http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=197996

どうやら、自分で導入した*.PRCファイルのバックアップに失敗する模様。

Filezを使って、Backup Attributeをオフにすることで、HotSync時にバックアップが取られなくなるため、HotSyncが完走するようになる。

Filezはいわずと知れたPalm界の超有名Palmware。普段いじれないファイルをいじれてしまう強力なファイラーです。

nosleep software - Filez -
http://nosleepsoftware.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=filez

操作方法はこんな感じ。

1. Filezを起動
2. "View and Edit Files"をタップ
3. "Internal"の左の△をタップするとPRCファイルがいくつかある(たとえばDatebk6. PRCという拡張子は表示されない)
4. 対象のファイルをタップすると左側にチェックマークがつくので、その状態で画面下の"Detail"をタップ
5. "Attrs"タブをタップし、"Backup"のチェックボックスがついていたらはずす
6. Filezを閉じる

これで、Hotsyncが通るようになりました。よかったよかった。

1月にN810を購入してから、7ヶ月以上たちました。いろいろ身辺がめまぐるしかったので触れていませんでしたが、Androidが動いたり、Palmが動いたりとなんでもありの様相を呈してきたN810です。

やっぱり興味はGVM。日本語化は不可能とされてきた中で、ミニーさんがやってくださいました。
ホントもう、すばらしい。ああ！神様！！

というわけで、さすがにいてもたってもいられず、試してみました。まじすごい。

簡単には以下のとおり。
「ごにょごにょ」について詳しく知りたい人はミニーの資料室さんへどうぞ。

1. GVMをN810に導入しておく
2. 使用されているROMファイルを回収(SSHやBluetooth通信がいいでしょう)
3. Garnet Development SuiteをPCに導入(日本語ROMを回収）
4. ごにょごにょ(笑
5. ゲットしたGVMJapan.romとgvm.confをN810へ転送。/usr/bin/gvm以下へ配置
6. GVMを起動、Storage HeapをReformatして起動

お、おおおおおおおお！！！

こんなことがあっていいのか…

動作はめちゃくちゃ軽快。バックグランドにおいておけば、タップするだけでさっとPalmの画面が現れる！！
このクイック感こそがPalmですよ。ホントもうすばらしい！

HotsyncがN/W経由しかないとのことで、BluetoothのPANによる接続ができたらいいですね(Diablo側の問題かThinkPad側の問題かPANができない）今は無線LAN経由でやってますが、これじゃ会社ではHotSyncできないのでね。

注意点としてはこんなところ

1. Palmwareを追加したいときはHotsyncから入れてはいけない。必ずローカルにファイルを持ってきて、GVM上の"Install"メニューから実施する
2. Storage heapをReformatするたびにHotSyncIDが変わるので注意

今後の改善に期待したいところ

GVM側

1. 縦横表示をボタンひとつで変更できるようにして欲しい ⇒上部のボタン(N810ロゴの上あたりにあるボタン)で切り替え可能でした(8/17Update)
   
2. 更なる安定性
3. 外部メモリサポート

GVM ROM TOOL側

そんなのとてもじゃないけどいえません。最高です、ミニーさんが気にされている点をミニーさんのやる気でお願いします。フィードバックならいくらでもさせていただきます！！

といったところです。これからいろいろPalmware入れて試します。

とりあえずDatebk6は入れたので、写真添付。

En la guerra de los navegadores móviles Mozilla es la que más retrasada va,

pero parece que poco a poco se van poniendo las pilas y ya tenemos aquí la nueva versión M6, el último paso antes de la fase alfa de Fennec, el nombre en código que ha recibido la versión en desarrolo de Mobile Firefox.

De momento puede instalarse en los tablet de Nokia, tanto el N800 como el N810, evidentemente para testearla y si queremos aportar nuestra ayuda a los desarrolladores. Lo que si podemos ver es como va tomando cuerpo la aplicación, acercándose a la versión de sobremesa.

Después de ver el Firefox Mobile Concept, en esta versión M6 ya se han incorporado las clásicas pestañas de Firefox a la interfaz y mejorado la estabilidad. Si queremos probarlo en Mobile/Fennec/Releases disponemos de toda la información para la instalación.

Se espera que la siguiente versión M7 llegue el próximo 19 de agosto, con más mejoras en la interfaz y en el rendimiento.

los tablet de Nokia concretamente los N800 y N810.

Se trata de una actualización de su sistema operativo “Over the air”, es decir, descarga directa al dispositivo desde Internet, sin necesidad de conectar con cable al PC.

Para tener disponible esta actualización en nuestro tablet tendremos que tener instalada la última versión del OS2008 liberada hace un mes, conocida por su nombre en clave Diablo.

Si es así veremos en pantalla un icono de exclamación naranja lo que nos indicará que podemos actualizar nuestro sistema a la última versión 4.2008.30-2. Esta actualización ocupa unos 14 MB, mejora principalmente la estabilidad del navegador y junto a ella también está disponible la versión 2.2.8.453-1 de Maps, otros 4.9 MB.

Si sigue asi va a ser un equipo a tener en cuenta , a ver si  lo analizo.

1. On N810 enable Bluetooth (set to visible)
2. On PC, adding bluetooth devices, search and find N810(passcode is an option.)
3. On PC, put your file to "Bluetooth 交換フォルダ" in My Documents (In English, I don't know the name of the folder, for example "Bluetooth Exchange Folder.")
4. On N810 open the file manager and you'll find Bluetooth menu on the left pain.
5. On PC, permit file transfering with N810.

Good Luck ;-)

Well you prayers have been answered, new to the scene is Internet Tablet Talk's sister site Tablet Scene http://www.tabletscene.com/

If you have already registered with ITT you can use the same username and password for both sites, no need to re-register for Tablet Scene.

Check it out and let me know what you think. For beginner Tablet users do you find the Tablet Scene site more useful than the Internet Tablet Talk one?

I've never been one to read blogs yet I have this strange compulsion to write one and here is the result.

In early November I'm going to Kyoto on a garden tour for two weeks. It's an opportunity to visit some really amazing gardens and homes with some very knowledgeable people. This is my first trip out of the US, except for the day trip to Tijuana years ago, and I'm very excited and a little nervous. I've got three months to prepare and a lot to do in that time.

One of my big dilemmas has been how to communicate back home during the trip. International phone calls are expensive, my cell phone won't work in Japan and email will work but isn't the same as talking to someone. In know there will be internet cafes close to where I'm staying but I'd like to have my own machine with me. Skype seems the obvious choice but I don't want to lug a laptop around. The Nokia N810 was my first choice. It's small, compact, has the features I need and runs linux as well but at $400 for a handheld it seemed kinda pricey. I was in Best Buy this weekend (one of my least favorite stores) and saw the eeePC. It's just too kawaii (cute). The eeePC is something that I could carry around and has all of the functionality of a laptop, even a usable keyboard, and also runs linux (XP too but what's the point). I've seen ones on Amazon for $399 which I don't think is too bad. This would allow me to use Skype, email and even blog while on the road. The one feature that the eeePC has that the N810 doesn't is and Ethernet port. Even though I'm planning on utilizing wifi on my trip there are times when I need to plug in. I've looked around a little at putting Ubuntu on the eeePC (my current distro of choice) but it looks like not all of the functionality is there yet most importantly the microphone. This would negate the ability to use Skype so it looks like Xandros would stay. As a perk my company gave me an Ogio Metro backpack. This should work prefect as a carry-on and for packing around stuff while in Japan. Even though it has room for a laptop the eeePC should fit one of the other pockets nicely. The only question I can't find an answer to is whether or not I need a converter while in Japan. It looks like the plugs are the same and the power is 60Hz but only 100V. I'm not sure if this will work properly.

Now I just have to figure out what to bring for gifts.

From PC Authority:

The notebook giant is planning an ultra low-cost portable to join the ranks of the Eee PC and MSI Wind (though not necessarily a direct competitor, they say).

Officials won't reveal details, yet, but they are showing a prototype of a device they've created to spur development ideas. The tiny handheld (shown in the main pic below) reminded us more of a UMPC than a notebook, with the keyboard ditched in favour of a touchscreen keyboard.

Looks interesting, more like the Nokia N810 rather than a true UMPC.

For me Windows Vista is not really the best operating system for these internet devices, a bit too much power and as a result poor battery life and lots of heat!
