Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU

N00b questions. After about a half hour of browsing this thread, I'm wondering:

What is the scope of the CSSU? Is it only the "GUI interactions" or would it include the "included"applications?

[Maemo 5] Speedtest.net broken!

I had been using speedtest.net to check the connection speeds on my N900, but they've "updated" the website to a "flashier" graphic, and now my N900 won't test.

The site seems to load, but never...

Re: [SURVEY:] What kind of Applications are you missing at the N900?

Oh yes, and MY requests:


About a dozen Apps in Dev that look like what I need

Re: [SURVEY:] What kind of Applications are you missing at the N900?

Have you tried PortaBase? I made a simple list in a .csv file and read it into an encrypted PortaFase file - with the fields *I* wanted! :-)

PS I did the initial creation on my PC using the PC...

Re: collating sequence?

Renamed them to _Index.txt and _List.txt.

No Joy.

They still are in the middle of the huge listing of files. :-(

In "File Manager" underscore and Tilde are both ignored in the...

Re: [Maemo 5] What are the "must have" (top, best, most useful) applications?

'Just want to re-iterate, Gnumeric and PortaBase are like multiple apps!

With Gnumeric I have:
A Tip Calculator
A Restaurant tab splitter
A calculator
A commute/train scheduler
A vacation...

Re: Next phone after N900

With any luck it'll be a 5" bezel-less WUXGA QWERTY that syncs with Outlook and Thunderbird/Lightning, edits .xls files, and downloads podcasts, inter alia.

call log while on a call?

Re: How do I save Web receipts as PDF?

Exactly, and the screenshot (with the transaction #) helps when the email DOESN'T arrive. A printscreen on the N900 is unlikely to capture the entire page.

Re: Indications on how well the N900 is selling

Many N900s (plural) have been sold. The N900's (possessive) power is what attcted me to the platform.

Re: Next MeeGo device?

For me nirvana would be a 5" 16x9 bezel-less, thin slider. Really not much bigger than my N900, pocketable, but a large screen.

Re: Why the stylus isn’t dead

The problem with "choice" is that if the programmer programs for stylus use, finger use will be awkward and not really work "out in the world."

I'd actually like the choice, if the programmer was...

Maybe someone will eventually build a Wakoopa clone and we'll see what we REALLY do with our N900s. :-)

I disagree with Chrisp7, MY perfect form factor would have buttons moved to the "side" a la the camera button, and FILL THE FRONT WITH SCREEN.
