• Nokia

  The N900 is Nokia’s new high performance touch screen mobile computer. It is based on Maemo, an advanced Linux-based operating system. This open-source platform enables the Maemo community to modify and continually develop software without license restrictions and fees meaning more choice for users and more freedom for developers.

  The device also features a powerful Mozilla browser giving full access to rich interactive Flash content plus a multi-tasking dashboard to enable easy tap between open apps and ongoing conversations.

  Check out the new Nokia at BarCamp on Saturday the 7th November. Developer Gary Liquid will be there to demo the device for anybody who wants to learn more. He'll also talk about developing specifically for the N900 and the work he did on a N900 powered onedotzero installation recently shown on the Southbank.
