MeeGo Nowhere
My previous blog post about MeeGo was completely off-base. So it looks like Nokia decided to go with Windows Phone 7. Personally I don’t see the point, but then again I don’t run a Fortune 500 firm either. Apparently there are still plans for a MeeGo powered handset/mobile computer. Sometime in May, maybe? However it…

Nokia and Qt, I Choose You!
Since I commented on this post about MeeGo here, I really should explain. I went to a Wavefront/Nokia seminar about Nokia’s Qt and Ovi store on Friday. Partially out of curiosity, partially to network and partially to perhaps win a brand new spanking N8. Not that I want to hand in my N900, but I…

The MeeGo Comeths
A few weeks ago, Nokia and Intel announced a merger of the Maemo and Moblin projects. The resulting platform shocked the world. OK, it only shocked the communities (the third amigo) involved.

Nokia N900 – The Penguin Has Landed
You may have noticed that I’ve dropped off the side of the Internet somewhat. Life can get busy at times, especially for someone who sometimes gets muddled up with time management and priorities. Another compelling reason for this is that I recently bought a Nokia N900. And I’m still getting used to incorporating it into…

News Flash – Linux Desktop Suck, Android is Not Linux and the Nokia N900s Dropping Out of Orbit
These past few days have seen Dorian scrambling to catchup and not blogging. Dorian still feels the need to fight his e-mails, update his “other” sites and organize his cluttered life, rather than update his readers on exciting developments he has worked on. Instead Dorian will continue writing in the third person, and highlight the…

A Return to Mobility
As a happy owner of a Nokia 5800 smartphone, I quickly realized the potential of this gadget as a great pocket-sized mobile computer. Unfortunately, for the longest time I relied completely on wireless access points. With the lack of a physical slideout keyboard, this phone felt like a step down from the N810 Internet tablet.…

The Chrome and the Cloud
Google today announced their Chrome OS project. The details are sketchy for this announcement. This Chrome OS apparently stems from the Chrome web browser that Google released last year. A sort of instant-on netbook operating system, that meshes the hardware with the Internet cloud. Google claims the OS project differs from the Android stack that…
