    Nokia S60 5th Edition is out: long life to the Web! 

    Big news for all Nokia followers! Nokia has just launched S60 5th Edition together with the first device supporting it: the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

    For all nightly coders, SDK is already available here.

    New improvements and features are available for quite every supported technologies, but biggest ones seems to be related to Flash Lite and Web platforms.

    Both Web and Flash Lite developers now gain access to a previously unavailable (at least, without using any external engine, like KuneriLite or Janus) set of infos and platform services that will allow them to finally build full-blown apps with native functionalities, and no more simple web-aware ones.

    A quick tour of these will explain why we should expect great Flash Lite (and Web) apps in the next future:

    • Calendar
    • Contacts
    • Logs
    • Messaging (SMS and MMS)
    • device location and landmarks
    • system information
    • sensors

    Nokia direction towards Web technologies was already clear (Widget Contributions Contest has just finished on Forum Nokia Wiki), but now we finally have a platform that could let those technologies literally explore new paths.

    Ready?

    Nokia N810 arrived… and absolutely rocks! 

    Some days that I’m quite silent on this blog, but for a good reason this time! :D Here’s my brand new Nokia N810, won for being selected as June Poster of the Month this year.

    First impressions were absolutely positive: the device is incredibly cool, built with good material, and the whole feedback is totally great.

    Then I’ve started playing with it and, after some failed trials, I easily discovered that I had to upgrade the OS to install anything :)

    Seamlessly upgraded the OS to Diablo, I had a lot of fun installing the most disparate software directly from maemo website, and I immediately fell in love with Vagalume and Maemo Mapper!

    So, after first days of usage, I definitely love it. I’ve always been a bit skeptical about bringing around more than 1 phone/device, but I’ve never been happier to change my mind :)

    But now, shouldn’t I start to write some code? ;)

    Mobile Web Server 1.3 released: ready to share! 

    Mobile Web Server has reached 1.3 version, and It’s time to give it a try!

    Mobile Web Server

    The setup process is really simple: you must register, and then download the software (a single SIS installer). Done that, you’re ready to share all your phone content! More in details, here are the features of the last release:

    • Guest and friend user accounts
    • Calendar – manage your calendar, and share your availability for others too
    • Messaging – SMS inbox/outbox and SMS sending
    • Phone log – view missed calls
    • Contacts – manage your contacts easily
    • Blog – tell stories on your journeys
    • Camera – share instant pictures
    • Gallery – browse pictures taken with camera phone, and share them to others
    • Guestbook – visitors can leave their comments
    • Contact me – visitors can send instant messages to you
    • Presence – share your status and device state
    • Web chat – communicate with friends

    The concept behind it is really attractive: have your web server always with you, and share things without the need to upload anything anywhere. Even letting users use your phone features, like taking instant picture with the phone camera!

    Mobile Web Service using phone Camera

    For sure, at least here in Italy, network speed and operator plans should evolve a bit to fully allow this technology to be really used. Also, with a lot of tools to upload you content on your favorite sites, I’m a bit unsure about the real target, in terms of users and possible usages, of this product.

    Said that, I definitely think It’s cool, at least for real geeks!

    And, for the curious out there, if you want to browse my phone content, you can simply go to: http://jappit.mymobilesite.net.

    AnimaLogic: S60 Web Runtime game 

    I’ve got some fun with my friend Fabio in creating a first game for Nokia Web Runtime.

    Since Web Runtime allows building mobile applications with classic web technologies, we’ve used nothing more that html, css and plain-old-good javascript… isn’t it great? :D

    Animalogic Web Runtime game

    It’s a very first alpha release with not too much functionalities (local hi-scores and a single game mode), but feel free to take a try :)

    The main interface was done using classical <a> elements to represent the menu options, but this has 2 important drawbacks, as you can see:

    • links (like also input fields and other focusable elements) when focused are surrounded by a thick border: not really beautiful..
    • managing of focus itself, between different screens, is not easy, so it happens that focus sometimes disappears, or starts from the last menu options, or other odd things.

    Next release will try to solve those and other issues… meanwhile, we’ll be happy of any kind of feedback about it :)
