ubuntu 7.10 and N810

After spending week in Spain, I noticed that new version of ubuntu has been released as well as new Nokia N810 internet tablet. I really like current linux presence in our world.

I managed to download ubuntu 7.10 image in my hotel and installed it just before trip back to Finland. After using years of kubuntu, I was really interested how ubuntu would work for me. It was actually little bit cleaner, faster and sleek than kubuntu. Most notably I liked the peaceful theme which it has for default.

Maemo recruiting

It's nice to notice that Maemo is recruiting, I think this is nice.

E90 & N800

Yes, I am finally happy with E90 hardware. It's ok in this new unit which Nokia provided to me from Salo. Still, I am strongly looking forward to have N800 Maemo platform to E90 form.
Maemo beats S60 in every sector.

So, I am looking forward for new Internet tablet and interestingly I am also waiting those WiMax capable phones from Nokia. As these things are going to have more "internet functionality" built in, instead of operator wap/mms hype, which seems to be gone for good.

Great Nokia, I am looking forward for your Internet plans.

New E90

Yes, I was spending weekend in Brussels and I got new E90 from Nokia factory service, just before that trip. It is very interesting to see, will this work better. General outfit of this new unit is better, keyboard is softer and everything seems to be ok.

And I was also able to download new version of Navicore for this E90, just before that trip. Navicore E90 version has some bugs in spoken navigation indications, since they keep to disappear in navigation.

Now I am waiting for new firmware.

Nokia is in trouble with E90

Yes, my E90 is still in service. And I got really worried today when I noticed Gigantti's advertisement and there was no E90 no more. So, can we draw line from here to there and ask Nokia, how badly you screwed with E90 ?

I really hope that software team is working also with that crappy s60 version of E90, since if hardware flaws are corrected in some point - software is still problem.

Nokia, give us some light in here.

E90 still in service

My E90 has been away for one week now. It will be interesting to see are they able to fix it at all? I've been reading those forums and people are getting E90's back from service and there is hardly anything done with those. That is strange!

I've been using E61i for long now, it's great but has start to suffer some strange rebooting issue. I think it's because it's loaded with few hundred messages and memory is fading away.

Nuke that Windows

It makes me feel so good when I am able to nuke windows out of the computer. Today I did it already once and more to follow.

It's liberating when you don't have to count licenses and you are able to install as many times (and as often) as you like that (k)ubuntu. It takes 15 minutes now, six questions and proceed. You're free from your 'checking are you running genuine windows' world.

This week I try to find out good power workstations and couple of ML 370's for Linux world, HP is high and Fujitsu siemens is running closely.
