Nokia’s N97 has just been released!

With its features you end up really wandering why to buy a netbook if you can get one of these.
Here you have a video showing it off:

Hi folks,

This weekend I set up Scratchbox to be able to develop and test stuff for Maemo.

So far I really like it and it is a pleasure to use Python and be able to write GTK apps on this great device.

If you wanna check for yourself, here’s the guide I followed in order to install Scratchbox and Maemo:

I’ve been more and more interested in getting a Nokia N800 (Maemo platform) or N810, not to have an internet tablet but specially to be able to write Python programs for a mobile platform.

I got one specific project I would like to be able to write on Maemo. So, if anyone wants to get me something on my birthday or an earlier present, just give me a Maemo and I will be like a 10 year old with a new toy

Hi, here’s a video of another use you can give to a Wii control pad.

I would *love* to starting doing some programming on Maemo! If you wanna be a nice guy and donate me one (or sell it to me at a good price) I will re-write BluePad to be used with it and add much functionlity

It’s been a while since I uploaded BluePad to GNOME Files and right now (I don’t know about the next 15 minutes though…) we’re on second place of the best rated chart. Oh yeah! We’re ahead of Brasero, Xfce or Geany (which we used to write BluePad actually). We’re not competing, of course, but we’re proud to see our “little app” to stay on that list among such great software as well.

If you use a GNU/Linux distro, a JAVA capable cellphone and haven’t tried BluePad yet, what are you waiting for??

By the way, if you want me, or Valério (or both) to be speakers at a conference, drop us an email, we love to give presentations!
