Maemo5, Nokia and Linux Love Fruit
Nokia N900 is the result of 'seeds of love' tendentious between Nokia and Linux. As a result created Maemo 5 OS which championed the debut phone.
Since Maemo 5 is the result of the love Nokia and Linux, users can download the application in two different stores. The first shop was obvious OVI Store. And the second is the Maemo 5 repository itself, which has hundreds of open source applications.
The presence of a prima donna like Maemo 5 new mobile OS realm. Thousands of open-source advocates have been working hard back there, to create a new mobile OS that is expected to be an alternative for Nokia products.
Maemo 5, Rumble Rumble Could There
Not only able to run some open source software, the N900 can even be tools 'nostalgia' games in the 90's. Want to enjoy the game from the SNES classic Mario Bros, Sonic from SEGA, even Bandicot owned PlayStation Crash. All can be done by downloading the emulator consoles. All are available in the repo Maemo 5.
If we are lovers of open source software, are no strangers when they hear the word: AbiWord, Tux Paint, Pidgin, or Chromium. Yes, indeed these applications can be accessed on the Nokia N900. In fact we have access to the terminal from the mobile computer. Maybe it could be said, the N900 is a mandatory gadget cracker.
Some of the above advantages make the N900 looks powerful is not it? But remember, this mobile computer is only equipped with an ARM Cortex A8 600MHz. So do not imagine the speed the same as the Snapdragon, the 1GHz dragon made by Qualcomm.
Moreover, the gadget can not do this. Even based on the latest news, a blogger from Finland named Toni Nikkanen successfully running Mac OS X 10.3 on this phone. And clearly, this is a phone not a PC oprekan.
How Maemo5 flavor, with a touch screen and display features smooth Our answer, amazingly.
Nokia N900 is a versatile gedget store. Unfortunately these applications are not running too smoothly. Even when running applications used by our multi-tasking, this phone will not be invited to run.
With the appearance of four tabs display a customizable desktop, users can enable the N900 to be co-workers, colleagues play, or co-vent. Suppose the first tab functioned as a working tab. Fill it with a calendar, notepad, email and more.
Sorry, is not intended to mimic the words of one comedian Opera Van Java, but as she felt the sensation of Maemo 5, we were thoroughly entertained by the user interface. Moreover, the transition is very smooth movements.
Done playing around with customizing the desktop, we now observe the top of the desktop. Here the home button which will menampilakn N900 applications. Beside a clock, battery, and other indicators that can also be customized.
Scroll to the right, the second tab functioned as co-vent. Fill it with the iconic face of friend / lover that when clicked instantly air-sms, phone, IM or email. Besides adding a second tab with feeds FB, twitter or shortcuts to other networking sites.
Suppose that when used for watching video mp4 full wide-screen, we seemed to see a small theater. It is increasingly felt when volume is maximized N900 (wait for the discussion on the performance).
With Power VR graphics, display N900 looks very clear. Armed with a widescreen VGA at 800 x 480, all the applications on display here look wide.
Unfortunately for some large-fingered users, they seem to be 'slipping' when going to open a particular application. Somehow unlike the iPhone, the touch we sometimes slightly less responsive taken by the N900. So Nokia is adding a stylus to anticipate this. Haloo gini .. today still use a stylus?
The most notable is the ease of use of the N900 screennya. We can sliding all applications at will, able to put icons as you wish. Everything was just a touch of a finger.
Well, here's one other advantage of the N900. Just like a computer, Nokia's web browser is able to play Java format. As a result we were amazed when this gadget can play streaming videos or YouTube kinds detikTV perfectly. Is not that great.
Perhaps that sentence came out when we saw the stylus on the phone today. But this thing is useful, when we open a web browser. With the stylus, touch becomes more responsive than the fingertips.
Meanwhile, What Purpose Applications on the iPad ..
Apple iPad is a shiny gadget and invite admiration. But, the core of the gadget is its usefulness. Thus, what the Apple iPad actually uses.
Now it's time to see more sane on the Apple iPad. After all, this is not a display of items created just for the see-saw and admired it. Gadgets like the iPad, no matter how beautiful, must have a function.
So far we've been impressed - even arguably 'mabuk' - the outward appearance Apple iPad. Then, we tried to look into the Apple iPad, and groped actually what impact the iPad components to the satisfaction of the users.
Already in the iPad is some default application from Apple. Compared to iPhone, iPad apps on it amounted to less. These applications, among which are:
Maps - Application to access Google Maps as the iPhone. Wider screen makes the map more widespread, but otherwise this is a Google map with the standard features and very functional.
Notes - This application is used to create little notes. If the iPhone app is more like a Post-It, the iPad app is like having a small note block.
Calendar - Calendar handles the basic functions of an organizer. This includes looking at the date, make an appointment to view the agenda. Although the standard functions, Calendar has a pretty sight.
Contact - Here all the data of friends, relatives and family can be saved. It looks like the book also makes good in the eyes of this application.
iTunes - This application is used to access the iTunes store, buying digital songs. Just like on the iPhone, iTunes can not be accessed when using iTunes account ina.
App Store - This application is used to purchase apps in the App Store. Since the iPad has not been officially circulated in ina, the App Store on iPad also can not be accessed with your iTunes account ina.
Video - Watch a video on the iPad is not done through the iPod application. Video is a specialized application to watch videos that are synchronized from iTunes.
YouTube - Indeed, the Safari browser on the iPad does not support Flash. But at least for watching YouTube videos, Apple has provided a separate application.
Mail - default email client application on the iPad. Some free email services can be directly drawn from here, such as Yahoo! or Gmail.
Photos - No need to elaborate, this application for viewing photos on the iPad.
iPod - Play music on the iPad can be done through this application. Once the music is playing, users can switch to another application with the music stays on.
Settings - As the name implies, this is the app to see the settings on the iPad. Including the settings in the various applications.
Safari - Apple's default browser to access the web site.
Apple iBooks was already set (currently only available in the U.S.) to bring the book's content on the iPad. This often makes the iPad than the Kindle, the e-book reader from Amazon. Oh yes, Amazon Kindle app for the iPad presents.
In conclusion: the iPad is perfect to devour media. This function is supported by the battery consumption is quite good as well as the quality of the screen is crystal clear.
