Qeddit, reddit for Symbian & Nokia N9

10 Mar

I had earlier written a Qt based reddit client library, and now I finally got around to making the UI in QtQuick for both Symbian and Nokia N9. You can get a self signed sis file for Symbian at http://greensoftware.net/qeddit/. The Nokia N9 version I will also put there but later.

I am thinking of porting this version for both iPhone & Android, a reason to finally use the Qt ports for iPhone & Android. The code will also be open sources when I get around to it.

Here is the video demo, working on a Nokia 808 pureview using Nokia’s remote device access service for developers. The bad frame rate is because of video capture + using a remote device.

Developing Maemo5 and MeeGo applications on Windows

21 May

Maemo/Meego devices are like a computer that you can put in your pocket, for example the N900. Before N900 these maemo devices had been slow, but thanks to the iphone the whole computer industry has realized the importance of speed. N900 is not slow, what i like about this phone is the keyboard and the great web browser that it has. Just imagine the scenario, you are reading a web page on your desktop and then when you have to catch the bus, that page opens up when you start the browser on your N900. This is possible with the firefox addon called the Mozilla Weave. N900 is just awesome, it just needs to exercise 4 hours a week to lose some extra fat that it has, but other wise I really like it.

But perhaps the best thing about N900 is that my Qt apps that I write for  Symbian  also work with little modifications on my N900! you dont even need to install some crazy toolchains or use the linux os to do any of this; with the Nokia Qt SDK you can do all of this from your windows computer. Even though its in beta right now; but every thing works; i am using it for a meego/maemo app i am doing and no issues yet

The iPad SDK aka iPhone OS 3.2 SDK

28 Jan

The iphone 3.2 sdk does not support the iphones and ipod touches.

But there are new apis in the sdk, all of which are just for the ipad. There is an api to handle documents much like a desktop os. Some new kind of views etc. etc.

But this ipad is very iphnoeish down to the OS level. So i believe ra1ndrop would also work on it ????? it can be jailbroken and then we have multitasking on it. wohoo ? not really! official multitasking support would mean $$ opportunities.

They say its another gold rush, i am not sure. I would hope for one but do people have more 500$ to burn after they have already burned/are burning quite a huge sum on the iphone?

But any ways, any other mobile os (except windows mobile and blackberry) would be good on it. Symbian, Maemo, Android or WebOS.
