Eduardo de Barros Lima has revived Tommi Komulainen’s Maemo port of Evince and posted some beautiful screenshots. And Alp Toker is playing (fighting?) with (among other things) poppler on mono on maemo.

Nokia 770 and Hello World
2005-10-25 at 21:15 · Filed under Meta, Toys
Last week I got the Nokia 770 that I had won at GUADEC in Stuttgart. Yesterday I set up my first blog. That means I can increase both the number of meta posts and of N770 posts at one fell swoop.
My first impression: the screen is gorgeous. 800×480px at 225dpi means really sharp text. I’ve previously read ebooks in Plucker on a Palm V (160×160px) and a Tungsten E (320×320px), and thought the Tungsten was a great improvement. But the N770. Wow!
First thing I installed was scummvm and Monkey Island I (German/DOS version) ;-)
Also started a list of things you shouldn’t do with it:
- running sudo /etc/init.d/af-base-apps stop. Finding a command that sudo executes without a password might be cool, but having to reboot the device afterwards isn’t
- building xrandr and trying it with the N770 X server is not a good idea either. The onscreen keyboard doesn’t follow the rotation and you have to type the command to rotate it back blindly. I did get out of this without rebooting.
OTOH I did pass the desk stand and MMC slot intelligence tests. But I had to use pliers the second time I wanted to remove the MMC card.
Oh, and Hello World!
