Maemo OSiM Developer Session part 2

Tagged:  

Part 2 of the two part series recorded at the OSiM conference in Berlin is now online. Dave Neary starts by giving a history of Maemo and continues on talking about the community and its way forward. Niels Breet highlights some of the issues the Maemo website is facing and proposes future changes.

This time the video is in 720p (click the full screen button). I'm still experimenting with video hosting sites; this one is on blip.tv. It would of been uploaded to vimeo but it constantly failed on upload for some reason. Maybe next time.

Maemo OSiM Developer Session part 1

Part 1 of the Maemo developer session that was held as OSiM World can now be found online.

In this talk, Nokia discuss the future of the Maemo platform. Its 57 minutes long but its well worth watching. Part 2 will follow tomorrow.

I will also be releasing the high definition versions of all the talks (once they have been transcoded) via bittorrent so if you want to watch in lovely high-def, you will have to wait a while.

Dr Ari Jaaksi's keynote speech from OSiM 2008

The first of many OSiM and Maemo Summit recordings have been put online. This one is of Dr Ari Jaaksi's keynote speech at OSiM World 2008 where he discusses the future of the Maemo Platform.

A much more open Nokia?

The Maemo developer session at OSiM 2008 served to show Nokia's stance on the future of openness on the internet tablets. They have signalled their intentions by today open sourcing many components that were once closed including the wifi and low level hardware monitoring drivers.

The future of Maemo

Tagged:  

Wow, just got back from recording Ari Jaaksi's keynote speech at OSiM and he managed to drop a couple of bombs including:

  • Maemo 5 will have an OMAP3 based CPU (no surprise there).
  • It will have high definition camera support but no mention on whether this is video or stills.
  • HSPA support built in!
  • More emphasis on multi-media content.
  • More storage space (figures talked about in terms of gigabytes).

    More information will be made available at the developer session tomorrow and over the course of the Maemo Summit on Friday and Saturday.

    On another positive note, Nokia dumped a whole lot of patches to the Linux kernel early today to enable HSPA support on OMAP3 processors. Well done Nokia.
