You can test drive MeeGo now

Posted by Ade as Linux

The merger of Nokia's Maemo and the Moblin Project, MeeGo, that new-ish Linux distro made for mobile phones, TVs, and netbooks, has finally released the first beta of the new operating system. The build images are meant for developers or those who are comfortable working in a terminal since the build won’t come with any user interface. The images currently work with any Intel Atom-based netbook, Atom-based handset (Moorestown) or Nokia’s N900. From Engadget: Sadly, the MeeGo user experience -- the good stuff, that is -- isn't included here, so if you flash your N900 you're going to end up booting into a terminal console, but hey, some of you sickos ...

Rumor: The Google Tablet to go after Apple’s iSlate?

Posted by Ade as Gadgets, Google, Hardware, Linux

Oh boy, is Google sure on a roll. Mere weeks after the announcement of the Google Phone, the Android-powered Nexus One, and the Google Netbook running (also recently-announced) Google Chrome OS, rumors began flying of another hardware product running Chrome OS. And this time it's a tablet computer.

Nokia N-Series Phones Will Probably Switch From Symbian to Maemo

Posted by Ade as Handheld, Linux, Phones

I have a love-hate relationship with the Symbian OS. On one hand, it's a mature mobile operating system with a huge selection of applications. On the other hand, it's been pretty restrictive, especially now that you have to sign your applications before you can even install them. Also, it's pretty old, the UI is horrible, and application programmers everywhere are complaining about how hard it is to make apps for Symbian. Which is why we're all keeping an eye on the N900. The N900, if you haven't heard, is the first phone running Nokia's Linux-based Maemo. Nokia already released a few internet tablets running Maemo before, but this is the first time we've seen Maemo being set up ...

Android 6.1 Donut is rolling out

Posted by Ade as Google, Linux

According to Unwired View, Android 6.1 Donut is already gradually being rolled out over the air.

Donut is a OTA (Over-the-air) update which you should be seeing very soon, if not already. From what we’ve heard, T-Mobile is working to roll it out as fast as possible to help fix the system reboot error that’s well-known on current versions.

Other feature improvements include:

Improved Android Market experience Camera, camcorder, and gallery interface Updated Voice Search Updated search experience (similar but not identical to iPhone’s spotlight search)

So have you guys received the new Android or are you still waiting for 6.1 to hit your mobile devices? How is Android Donut treating you so far?

Motorola shows us what it can do with Google's Android phone platform and introduces the Cliq. The CLIQ delivers a reliable mobile Web experience by harnessing the power and speed of 3G and Wi-Fi. Additional CLIQ features include a 3.1-inch HVGA touch-screen display, a 5 megapixel auto focus camera with video capture and playback at 24 frames per second, a 3.5mm headset jack, a music player with pre-loaded Amazon MP3 store application, Shazam, iMeem Mobile, and a pre-installed 2GB microSD memory card with support for up to 32 GB of removable memory.

I'm not a fan of the QWERTY keyboard (honestly it just looks too ugly) but from what I've been hearing, this could be the best Android

Online Work Makes One Platform Agnostic

Posted by J. Angelo as Computers, Editorial, Linux, Mac, Windows

As I write this, I'm running Windows on my laptop, here at the dinner table. It's been almost a year since I worked on Windows, meaning actually running it for a few hours and doing real work with it. With my computers usually running some flavor of Linux or Mac OS X, Windows has mostly only been run only in those rare instances I need to run Windows-specific software. My most recent acquisitions, being an Asus Eee (running on Linux) and a Mac desktop, have brought me farther away from Windows, I was almost tempted to wipe it out from my laptop. And yet here I am. I've booted up good ol' Windows XP because my wife wanted to ...

The Gimp: My Image Editor of Choice

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Linux, Mac, Software, Windows

I had been doing a lot of twitter account setups because I wanted to have twitter accounts dedicated to the many blogs I’ve put up for AdSense monetization. So since when I was setting up my DummyGeekGurl twitter account, I had reached saturation point for tweaking the design, plus, I wanted the wallpaper background kick-butt in a big way, I decided to put off tweaking the design. That, and I was pretty sick over the past few days, only to find out that I may really have diabetes (type 2) now. But last night, I felt okay enough to make this kick-butt (in my own not-so-humble opinion) wallpaper for my DummyGeekGurl Twitter.

2007 and Beyond: An Exciting Era for the OS Wars

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Linux, Mac, Software, Windows

This is an exciting year for the OS wars. With Gutsy Gibbon just released last 18th of October, the Mac OS X Leopard being released today, and the dust over over Windows Vista not having settled yet, I think things are looking up for the OS horizon. We are back in the glory of the 80s, folks, when OS competition was healthy, with the freedom of choice at an all-time high, and enthusiasm for computers and software on an unparalleled level. It’s just that today, this enthusiasm is magnified, to levels that “exponential” doesn’t even cover.

Google Phone hits stride

Posted by Rogue as Cellphones, Linux, Mobility, Software

Google may arguably be the most popular and most profitable search engine on the planet but that is not stopping the company's think tanks from continuing to push the envelope as far as product development and innovation is concerned. After Google's successful series of add ons, services and feature sets, the company is now settting its sights on hardware. Enter the Google phone! According to announcements made a couple of weeks ago, Google seems to be getting its stride as far as development of the G-Phone is concerned. After years of delay, the company has finally found a manufacturer for the phone, and it's none other than Taiwan based smartphone maker High Tech ...
