Mike & Mas' Nokia 770 Blog

I wonder who writes this blog? I think he should finish up his college instead of playing on the internet.

In Defense of the 770

What? Who were those graduation pictures of? Ha! Welcome to my "blog." (Well, Masamune's too -- though he'll soon enough abandon this in an orgy of time on his PSP...)

HOLY MACKERAL!!

A rare sight indeed: An ALBINO Nokia 770!!

I'm not kidding!!

This is no PShop jobbie, either. Not only that, this guy apparently OWNS it and uses it regularly!

That albino 770 is nice - it would go well with my iMac (if I ever get round to buying it). Oh, and that comment on the PSP - that's not a forecast, that's a statement.

Cool looking Nokia 770. I want one of those also. Maybe I should just keep coming here for my posts. I hope you don't mind Mike.

edit: mink to mind

Go ahead. You can also search on FURL. Some stuff that I don't post here is FURLed (mainly tangental Nokia stuff). (I don't FURL any of the PSP stuff, BTW, so you better be saving it, Masamune!)

Only very slightly 770-related. Nokia has pushed back the intro of their Very High-End phone:

Ow, the price of this is like $800! For a *phone*!

Sony started a ritzy brand called Qualia. I don't think it went very far. At least, I haven't heard much about it (maybe because I am at the opposite end of their intended market?).

Anyway, two things:

1) I'm not sure people will see a phone as other than a phone, even if its gold-plated.

2) I hope in a few weeks Nokia doesn't announce a delay in selling the 770!

3) I hope for Nokia's sake that the reviews are good for the phone, even if the sales tank due to its price.

Python, Pygame e Nokia 770
http://pythonologia.blogspot.com/2005/0 ... a-770.html
>>>Hoje eu e o Rudá fizemos o teste definitivo do Python com Pygame no Nokia 770. Testamos ele com o jogo Solarwolf que é um dos joguinhos mais completos no site do Pygame. Enquanto eu preparava ele pra rodar no 770 (eu tive que truncar a imagem que originalmente era 800x600 para que ela coubesse na tela de 800x480) eu pensei: \"Isso não vai funcionar. Vai ficar lento toda a vida\".

babelfish:

>>>Today I and the Rudá made the definitive test of the Python with Pygame in Nokia 770. We test it with the Solarwolf game that is one of the joguinhos most complete in the site of the Pygame. While I prepared it pra to twirl in the 770 (I had that to truncate the image that originally was 800x600 so that it fit in the screen of 800x480) I thought: \"This does not go to function. The life goes to be slow all \".

>>>A boa notícia: não ficou lento! A má notícia: O protótipo que a gente tem aqui não está com o som configurado ainda, logo, o jogo ficou mudo.

>>>The good notice: he was not slow! The bad notice: The archetype that people have here is not with the configured sound still, then, the game was dumb.

>>>Particularmente fiquei superfeliz com o resultado. A gente já tem todos os pacotes prontinhos para rodar isso dentro do Scratchbox. Só não disponibilizamos publicamente ainda porque estamos com um probleminha que tá impedindo que a gente se conecte com nosso servidor Web.
Além desse trabalho eu estou fazendo os bindings Python para a biblioteca Hildon da plataforma Maemo. O segredo para isso é gerar uns arquivos com a extensão '.defs' (com sintaxe Scheme) com as definição das APIs da biblioteca em C. Para não ficar fazendo 'trabalho de macaco' eu estou fazendo um gerador automático de '.defs'. Se funcionar direito eu acho que será útil para o pessoal que desenvolve o PyGTK também.

>>>Particularly I was superhappy with the result. People already have all the prontinhos packages to twirl this of the Scratchbox inside. We do not only disponibilizamos public still because we are with one probleminha that tá hindering that people if connect with our Web server. Beyond this work I am making bindings Python for the Hildon library of the Maemo platform. The secret for this is to generate archives with the extension ' defs ' (with Scheme syntax) with the definition of the APIs of the library in C. Not to be making ' monkey work ' I am making an automatic generator of ' defs '. If to function right I find that he will be useful for the staff who also develops the PyGTK.

GO LOOK AT THE PICTURES!! **WOW!!**

Nokia 770 - worth 350 $?
http://www.silentpenguin.com/archives/2 ... worth.html
>>>What I like about the device: it looks cool, seems fast enough (the devices there were newer than the ones that have been criticized before as being too slow), runs Linux, is open to additional applications, WLAN (of course), coolness factor etc.

Holy cow! A TELETEXT BROWSER running on a 770!

See the PHOTO!!

>>>Ik ben natuurlijk ook een beetje rondgelopen om te zien wat er verder wordt aangeboden. De X.org 'wobbly windows' demo was natuurlijk erg leuk. HP heeft een enorme stand, net als RedHat, IBM demonstreert de Cell-processor, zelfs Microsoft heeft een behoorlijk stand. Novell/Suse is echter nauwelijks zichtbaar. Hmmm.. En er was een coding marathon, die gewonnen werd door ene Georg Lukas (!), en die onze 770 koos als prijs [...] Update, 's middags. Nog steeds druk en warm hier, en met 10E6 mensen gesproken, en het is hier zo warm *puf* *puf*. Toch ben ik er in geslaagd mijn TTB Teletekst Browser te laten werken op onze Nokia 770. Dat ging erg gemakkelijk; ik hoefde de code zelfs nauwelijks aan te passen; ik zal nog wat werken aan iets betere integratie. Eenvoudig.

Babel (the above is in Dutch, FYI):

>>>I have been walked around of course also see a beetje what is further offered. The X.org ' wobbly windows ' demo was of course terrible nice. HP have an enormous score, just like RedHat, IBM demonstrate Cell-processor, even Microsoft have considerably a score. Novell/Suse are however hardly visible. Hmmm.. there and were coding marathon, which was won by one Georg Lukas (!), and which ours 770 chose as a price: -) [... ] Update, at noon. Still press and warm here, and spoken with 10E6 people, and it is nevertheless here this way warmly * puf * * puf *. I in has succeeded there my TTB teletekst browser leave work on our Nokia 770. that went very easy; I had adapt the code even hardly; I still what work to something better integration. Simple.
