Hello! I am curious to know what would happen if you simply clicked/downloaded the app directly from the old 'Diablo' repository?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Mephemeris - Astronomy Program

Its been a long time since I have posted in this Forum. I never did (and perhaps never will) jump from the N800 platform to the N900. With the new emphasis on 'Qt' rather than 'Gtk', I don't think...

Re: ANNOUNCE: MGedcom - Genealogy GEDCOM Reader/Writer

Could you elaborate?

As with the N8x0 series, my expectations is that clicking on a link to a 'deb' file will automatically start the 'application manager' program on the N900 -- prompting for...

Re: ANNOUNCE: MGedcom - Genealogy GEDCOM Reader/Writer

Good question! I don't have (yet or ever?) my own N900, but of all the 'apps' that I have written, it is the one that is 'pure python', so my guess is that it would have the best chance of working...

Re: [Sandbox] constellation-follow your star

I think that it is a great idea to create/port astronomy apps/widgets for the N900! After all, it was my own interest that spawned 'MEphemeris' and 'MChronos' for the N8xx series, and ideally...

Sorry for the delay in making a comment on this, guys, but ever since the N900 showed up, the number of 'new' messages in the talk forum has exploded to the point that I can no longer keep up!

However, I personally would love to use a digital compass with the N900 so that I could add 'automatic directionality' (or whatever you want to call it) to...

Re: Panoramic Image Stitcher Application for N900

I agree with you! Even though the idea for a stitcher is cool, I cannot imagine being able to do a 'good' job of it on such a tiny screen. Heck, when I bought a 1920x1200 monitor for my desktop to...

Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)

I, too, am very much *assuming* that Rapier will work just as well on Maemo 5 and it does on 4. If not, I very much *hope* that the author will port it to Maemo 5! :)

Re: Are you buying the N900? (Quick poll)

Although I would love to have the N900, and continue to develop my favorite apps on the faster/slicker device, price will be a large determining factor.
