The DocsToGo viewer came bundled on the N900 with a 30 day trial. Unfortunately the Premium Editor is not available in the Ovi Store nor directly [...]

Widgetizing your N900

June 3, 2010 Maemo Tutorials

Widgets; love ‘em or hate ‘em – they serve a good purpose – beer included. Most devices that provide a customizable homescreen (Android, WebOS, Symbian and Maemo 5), use widget entries as “feeds” to information or shortcuts to applications. I previously took a look at my favorite weather widgets and decided that while the great [...]

Who says there are no apps for Maemo – Part I

May 20, 2010 Maemo Apps

Where Is Ovi Maps Free Navigation For The N900?

February 5, 2010 Maemo Apps

What’s it gonna take for Nokia to get it right the first time when it comes to a release of a flagship smartphone? While I’m not as pissed as I was about the whole N97 camera lens & crappy firmware debacle, I’m disappointed that Nokia would not include the N900 in their huge Ovi Maps [...]

How To: Flash Your Nokia N900

January 31, 2010 Maemo Apps

One major advantage of the Nokia N900 is that all of its firmware updates so far have been available Over The Air (OTA) immediately. In fact, both firmware updates from 2 weeks ago were available in the device’s App. Manager before users were able to update using Nokia Software Updater on [...]
