Here’s the big news from Intel, Maemo and Nokia: MeeGo!
MeeGo is an open source, Linux project which brings together the Moblin project, headed up by Intel, and Maemo, by Nokia, into a single open source activity. MeeGo integrates the experience and skills of two significant development ecosystems, versed in communications and computing technologies. The MeeGo project believes these two pillars form the technical foundations for next generation platforms and usages in the mobile and device platforms space.
Moblin and maemo are merging! We are taking the best pieces from these two open source projects and are creating the MeeGo software platform. Both teams have worked for a long time to support the needs of the mobile user experience – and MeeGo will make this even better. We want it to be fun, focused, flexible, technically challenging and ultimately, something that can change the world.
As every year, the Nokia Developer Summit promises to be the premium event for all Nokia developers around the globe.
Come to San Francisco on 9 – 10 June, to discover how easy it is to develop for Nokia and get apps in the hands of millions of consumers worldwide. The Nokia Developer Summit 2010 will feature two days of keynotes, technical and business presentations, hands-on labs, demos, and plenty of opportunities for personal and professional networking — all aimed at mobile and web developers. Technology topics will help you develop with Maemo™, Qt, and Web Runtime (WRT). By taking part in these live demos and coding sessions, developers will learn to create compelling user experiences, quickly and easily.
The experience of Nokia Developer Summit 2009 was absolutely great, both from a technical a personal point of view.
If you’re a mobile developer, and want to get involved into the latest Nokia development news, you shouldn’t miss it! See you there 
Today Alessandro posted the latest mobile phones’ market shares. These charts should make the mobile workers think about where the mobile industry is right now, despite all the hype surrounding some fancy platforms nowadays.
This also made me think about an inspirational post I read today on the Nokia Conversations blog, whose title could have not been clearer: Innovation means so much more than high end smartphones. Have you ever tought about 5 different phonebooks in a single device? An even clearer hint? Look at Nokia Life Tools.
Alessandro yesterday talked on this blog about this point: while we’re focusing on smartphones and latest fancy devices, the greatest portion of mobile market is simply somewhere else, looking for resources and innovation that don’t need application stores, augmented reality or jingles like these.
Not convinced about this? Take a look at Calling All Innovators categories or at Betavine Social Exchange, and then start re-tuning your mobile strategy.
Via thenokiablog, good news for all Nokia N97 owners: a new firmware upgrade will be available tomorrow, February 1st, and promises to improve the overall stability of the device, including:
This is actually what the N97 device needs since it could be, in my opinion, the best Symbian smartphone around, if it gets improved overall stability. Let’s wait for the update and see!

looks like a sweet app! May I ask if the UI was written fully by you or did you use some UI library?
Thanks!
