Maemo5, the mating Nokia and Linux

Nokia N900 is the result of ‘the seeds of love’ tendentious between Nokia and Linux. As a result created Maemo 5, the OS that was seeded in the phone’s debut.

The presence of Maemo 5 a new favorite in the realm of mobile phone mobile OS. Thousands of open-source activists has been working hard back there, to create a new mobile OS is expected to be an alternative for Nokia products.

Because Maemo 5 is the result of the fruit of love Nokia and Linux, users can also download the application in two different stores. The first store that clearly OVI Store. And the second is the repository Maemo 5 itself, which has hundreds of open source applications.

Maemo 5, self-contained

If we are lovers of open source software, no strangers when they hear the word: AbiWord, Tux Paint, Pidgin, or Chromium. Yes, these applications are accessible on the Nokia N900. Even we can access the computer terminal from this provider. May be said, the N900 is mandatory gadget cracker.

Not only able to run some open source software, N900 can even be a tool ‘nostalgia’ game in the 90s. Want to enjoy games from the SNES classic Mario Bros, Sonic from SEGA, and even PlayStation’s Crash Bandicot. All can be done by downloading the emulator consoles. All are available in repo Maemo 5.

that can not be done for this gadget. Even based on the latest news, a blogger named Toni Nikkanen Finnish successfully run Mac OS X 10.3 at this phone. Yet clearly this is a phone not a PC modification.

Several advantages over the N900 makes visible a powerful right? But remember, the computer-equipped mobile processor is only 600MHz ARM Cortex A8. So do not imagine the same speed as Snapdragon, Qualcomm made the dragon 1GHz.

Nokia N900 is a versatile gedget department. Unfortunately applications are not running smoothly. Even when used to run multi-tasking applications by Twitteling, the phone is not willing to run.

First moments of ‘Touching’ Maemo5

How to taste Maemo5, with features and appearance of the smooth touch screen that is displayed? Twitteling answer that, incredible.

Sorry, not meant to imitate the words of one comedian Opera Van Java, but when she felt a sensation of Maemo 5, Twitteling really entertained with user interfaces. Moreover, the displacement is very smooth transition.

With four display tab displays a customizable desktop, users can enable N900 became co-workers, playing partner, or colleague vent. Suppose that the first tab as a tab-enabled workplace. Fill it with calendar, notepad, email etc..

Scroll to the right, the second tab functioned as co-vent. Fill it with the face icon friend / lover who could directly when clicked-sms, telephone, YM or email. Also add a second tab with FB feeds, twitter or shortcut to another networking site.

Finished playing around with customizing the desktop, is now the top desktop Twitteling observed. Here the home button that will display the N900 applications. There beside the clock, battery and the other indicators can also be customized.

With the Power VR graphics, the display looks very clear N900. Armed with widescreen VGA at 800 x 480, all the applications on display here look wide.

Suppose the time used to watch mp4 videos full wide-screen, as though we will see a small theater. This is more felt when the volume is maximized N900 (wait its discussion on the performance).

The most prominent on the N900 is its ease of usage screen. We could be sliding all applications as they pleased, could put the icons as desired. Those are only the touch of a finger.

Unfortunately for some users a large radius, they seemed to be ‘slipping’ when will open a particular application. For some reason do not like the iPhone, a touch us sometimes a little less responsive taken by the N900. So Nokia had added a stylus to anticipate this. Perhaps the sentence is thrown when we saw the stylus on the phone today. But this thing is useful, when we open a web browser. With the stylus, the touch will be more responsive than the fingertips.

Well, here’s one other advantage N900. Just like a computer, the Nokia’s web browser is capable of playing Java format. Twitteling result was astounding as this gadget can play streaming video or TV types with the perfect YouTube. Not fun.

Unfortunately when surfing the Internet with this handset, Twitteling little emotion. How could this good device is not equipped with multi-touch features?

What will happen? users would be hard to YouTube now want to raise the volume. The reason is when the volume is shifted on the screen, all web pages were also displaced. Looks like Nokia should immediately settle the issue.
