Maemo Summit 2009 video

I recorded quite a bit video footage at Maemo Summit 2009 which was held in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The world just became a bit cuter

Today is an important day for me, as Qt 4.6 has been released; the first release that I have been deeply involved in.

Firefox for Maemo beta 5 became available for download tonight, so get your Nokia N900 and install it now! Oh wait… the device is not available to the public yet. I wouldn’t get mad though. I found beta 5 to be slower than the default browser and less accurate at displaying some sites.
