I’ve finally got a shiny N810!

October 8th, 2008 · 2 Comments

After almost a year, I finally decided to buy the N810 and have to say i have a lot of mixed feelings about the device/platform/experience. I know there are already a million posts on this device, but I thought a list of pros and cons will definitely come handy since I am thinking about selling [...]

The next layer of convergence

October 1st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Recently, I was reading about the news of the “first specification for Interoperability and Preservation of Metadata in Digital Photography” from vnunet and although it’s great news on the photo-data standardisation process it’s really disappointing to see very few progress on the “data convergence front”. You see the problem I have is that I have [...]

Black & White pictures can be really beautiful

April 3rd, 2008 · Comments Off

I’m sick as hell (I’ve got chicken pox or chicken porx since I’m a little overweight these days) and got time kill in bed. So I started spending more time in my latest hobby: photography. It’s strange how I used to take pictures just because of my photo obsessive-compulsive disorder and never realised I really [...]

Accelerometers can ruin your life… actually your battery life!

April 1st, 2008 · Comments Off

It’s strange how sometimes people are very aware of the battery consumption of some applications but put all concerns aside when it comes to applications that use the internal accelerometer. Is it because they are all nice or because the application does not really give the impression of running in the background all the time? [...]

R.I.P. IBM T41

March 8th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I still remember when I started with Nokia and I was given a brand new black laptop: a IBM T41. I didn’t like black laptops and I didn’t like IBM…. However, after more than 3 years I can honestly say that T41 was one of the best machine I have ever owned. I really mistreated my laptop, [...]

Playing with Python again..

February 29th, 2008 · 15 Comments

It’s been a long long time since I posted but was really busy with work. Anyway, I had some spare time yesterday and decided to play again with Python for S60… The good about Python is that you can really really make a small application in few minutes (or hours if you are not very [...]

Wasting my time reading iPhone news

December 7th, 2007 · Comments Off

It’s amazing how people will report any piece of news that says iPhone in the title, even when it’s not true or it’s completely useless… What a waste of time! Ok, first look at the following “Operating System Market Share for November from marketshare.hitslink.com”. Then google for “iphone browser share” and you’ll get a list [...]

Mobile Browsers Shortcuts Standard

November 28th, 2007 · Comments Off

Nokia and Opera are supposed to be two companies that put the customer experience at the heart of their business. Then why o why they don’t try to have the same shortcuts? For example, I’m sure that the majority of people by now know the use of Ctrl+c. Why we don’t have the same when [...]

S60 Tabbed Browsing (Up to 5 Tabs)

November 25th, 2007 · Comments Off

Reading this reminder on S60 Web Browser Shortcut Keys from the thenokiablog.com I recalled that my N95 browser actually supports tabbed browsing but I never used it because of the difficulty in opening a new tab and the out of memory problem which makes the browser unusable even when using just 1 window . Anyway, [...]
