  1. @teknolog - they're still churning out those 3rd Edition devices... about 21 hours ago from web
  2. @snowpong thanks for the info. It'd be nicer if we could just have a source compatible API across the board though... :-( 7:09 AM Nov 18th from web
  3. @snowpong currently look like two separate custom extensions to Qt that you'll have to use to make your apps look "native"? More info needed 6:28 AM Nov 18th from web
  4. @snowpong - but will they, what about all this Orbit, DirectUI & Maemo 6 UI framework nonsense? 6:27 AM Nov 18th from web
  5. enjoyed the Ovi event in Leeds last night - mostly about promoting awareness and opening dialogue - great turn out, great people! #synokia 2:35 AM Nov 18th from web
  6. Going to an Ovi developer event at Leeds Uni tonight. over 220 sign-ups apparently. Should be good. #synokia 2:21 AM Nov 17th from web
  7. @vmlemon probably, but my understanding is that Theora isn't actually a very good video codec either, so fewer people care. 4:12 AM Nov 16th from web
  8. @vmlemon No-one's willing to go to court over such a minority format (even if it does have a very loyal following). 4:01 AM Nov 16th from web
  9. @vmlemon I think the problem with Vorbis is that several big CE companies believe it to be patent-encumbered and the Ogg folks say it's not. 4:00 AM Nov 16th from web
  10. @vmlemon the original Ogg Vorbis port to Symbian was done as an example by engineers at Symbian Software Ltd, the OggPlay folks used it. 3:50 AM Nov 16th from web
  11. @vmlemon There's been working open source Ogg Vorbis for Symbian for years. No OEM has ever included it in product firmware though. 3:37 AM Nov 16th from web
  12. @vmlemon "cute"=Qt & "shy"=SHAI - http://developer.symbian.or... - sorry to spoil the mystery. 6:37 AM Nov 11th from web
  13. @jrbarron Last time I worked at Samsung that "proprietary" system was a WinMo "clone" (to put it politely and avoid starting lawsuits). 8:25 AM Nov 10th from web
  14. @jrbarron It allows you to "create applications that can run on the proprietary operating system that powers its handsets"- via @samsungbada 8:23 AM Nov 10th from web
  15. @vmlemon I'm assuming that apart from the official announcement, the rest is just tech journalists jumping to incorrect conclusions. 8:16 AM Nov 10th from web
  16. @vmlemon I'm guessing it's an app platform that runs across their device range - Samsung's answer to Qt but probably not for native code. 7:00 AM Nov 10th from web
  17. The name ‘bada’ means ‘ocean’ in Korean... It also alludes to Samsung’s commitment to a variety of open platforms in the mobile industry. 6:21 AM Nov 10th from web
  18. @snowpong - where do they get that bada is a Linux-based mobile OS from? Official press release makes it sound more like a common runtime... 6:18 AM Nov 10th from web
  19. Nokia is planning to open up the native interface to the Web Runtime - see comments on http://bit.ly/2fMns9 3:22 AM Nov 10th from web
  20. @dan_mcneil - always chocolate side up, although I have no idea why. Of course I prefer the sorts with chocolate on all sides! :-) 8:39 AM Nov 9th from web
