Windows Phone 7 a month later; HD7, WP7 OS, and top 10 apps
Windows Phone 7 has been out for just over a month and I take a look back at the HTC HD7, Windows Phone 7 OS, and my favorite 10 apps from the 2,815 available at this time.
State of Maemo, Q32010.2
The six of us laughed out loud as we filed into the sound-proof broadcast room that peered over the dark green expanse of Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
Maemo 5 app UIs: {The,A} big picture
Sooner or later it will be necessary to create a QML UI for gPodder if it is to integrate nicely with devices on which Qt is the “native” toolkit for third party apps. At the moment, the reusable UI elements that can be used with QML (Qt Components) have not yet been officially released (the Git repository is available on Gitorious , though), and there are no UI style guidelines for Harmattan out (yet?)

Please test: MaePad 1.9, MaePadWeb 2.1, Trophae 6
Version 1.9 of MaePad is out, with a new translation into Catalan, updated Finnish (thanks to Marko Vertainen) and German translations, a “No items” indicator in empty checklists and full auto-rotation support ( detailed changelog ). The File Transfers application seemingly does some weird things to “Open file” dialogs in other apps (not only MaePad, but reportedly also Xournal), so MaePad now conflicts with it until the problem is fixed (this means you can’t have both “File Transfers” and “MaePad” installed at the same time). Test and vote for MaePad 1.9 in Extras-Testing ! Also new is MaePadWeb 2.1, which adds a missing dependency on python-simplejson .

The DIY cameraphone test
Kudos to the web programmers and the rest of the team at GSM Arena, who have produced the really rather cool ‘ Photo Compare Tool ‘. Essentially they’ve taken a large number of recent phones and smartphones and shot the same three test photos with each (ISO 12233, Grey and Colour)

My Time at the MeeGo Conference 2010
I’ve had a few days now since the first-ever MeeGo Conference ended to jettison the jet lag and sort my thoughts, so it’s time to run through experiences there. This will come from a purely personal viewpoint; later I’ll do a more objective analysis of the event
