They just forgot to mention it in the change logs. It's a new game called "Home Screen Shuffle." It's fun; I play it all the time. I have a new technique where I just rub the screen on my shirt and see where everything lands. Maybe we can start a new thread and share screen shots.

There's a hack done by (qwerty12 I think?) that hacks hildon to give a lock applet setting. But you have to retoggle it everytime you reboot the system.

Edit: Qole didn't do it!

Not done by me!

You're probably getting me confused with that child prodigy, qwerty12, or maybe some other hacker around here, who is more substance and less show than me Abracadabra! <waves hands impressively>.

I notice Mer has the lock applet setting. I'm looking forward to that coming soon to my desktop...

I thought someone would jump in and correct me by calling it a feature.

Dang! Maybe they should keep this "feature" in Maemo 5, eh?
That way we could use it with the new device's accelerometer and be able to "Screen Shuffle" just by shakin' it.

Given that it was perfectly possible to do voice recognition on a Pentium 90 with 64 MB of RAM more than 10 years ago, I find the argument that voice recognition would require more processing power than even the humble 770 can provide a bit suspicious. Of course, when IBM provided voice recognition with OS/2 Warp 4.0, they did deliver a well-coded piece of software. OTOH, voice recognition without intelligent voice navigation or even a Natural Language User Interface is just another input method -- and one with some annoying traits to boot.

That's the plan with Fremantle. . . .

The patch is by Rafi Rubin - I just built a version with another patch to enable Applications through x11vnc (again, patch not by me )

...at the number 2 spot for me would be:

A Maemo@Home desktop PC application with Linux and WinXP versions. The app would recognize when the NIT is connected via USB and will launch auto-magic like if so configured.

Upon launch it would present 5 options:

1. Browse MMC's

2. Check for and install all selected updates in a batch.

3. Back-up/restore to/from the desktop PC all selected apps, settings, files, or directories. Check against and prompt for incremental updates of an existing stored back-up

4. Connect to a Nokia store and browse, download, and install new software keeping a copy on the desktop PC. Allow loading and unloading copies of previous downloaded apps and themes to and from the PC and the NIT.

5. Operate the NIT from the desktop PC via a built in emulator.



(BTW, I also once dreamed I saw the silver spaceship flying in the yellow haze of the sun...)
