Frank,

Antonio Manaus is the main person responsible for Minimo on the Nokia Internet Tablets (770 and N800). He has a blog where installation instructions can be found. Doug Turner pretty much IS the Minimo project, but he announced a couple months ago that he won't have much time for the project in the future. It has been a while since Antonio released a new version of his Minimo port for Nokia as well. My own personal view is that the Minimo project is dead, but that it has been left in a state that is fairly useable and another developer could pick up where the others left off, if they felt motivated.

Hi,

and Nokia have not interest on a Firefox development for the Nokia 800 ???

• Firefox = Open Source and no license fees

or costs Opera also nothing - which is the strategy of Nokia for the N800 Browser ???

Has someone contact to Nokia Leader for the Nokia N800 or future series ?

Thanks

Frank

Re: Google Apps
 

I have just successfully changed my UserAgent to "Mask as Mozilla" on my desktop Opera 9 browser.

(Tools->Quick Preferences->Edit Site Preferences->Select Network Tab->Use Browser Identification combo box.)

...to prove a point.

Google apps now works fine. It is Googles server that is not letting Opera in and not the software!!!

We all take for granted these "free" services... These services are not "free" but are paid for by advertisement.
This "problem" more than likely will go away after some sort of financial agreement between Opera and Google.

As far as a work around goes it may be possible to replicate my Opera 9 "Mask as Mozilla" string in the N800's browser using the opera.ini file >> http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...7164#post37164

or in a yet to be located, ua.ini file. :)

Hi YoDude,

thanks for your feedback :)

But it would be class or helpfully -

• we know the future browser strategy of Nokia for the N800 or future linux tablet series

Re: Google Apps
 

YoDude: The N800 Opera version does not work with (at least) Google Docs, even if setting user-agent to exactly what Firefox uses. It makes it pass the initial test but there's more and that fails. What that "more" is is something we'll figure out later I guess.

Re: Google Apps
 

Hi,

and the future is (probably) a offline Firefox Browser and Google Apps application (gmail, docs and spreadsheet) - see Firefox 3 planning :)

Re: Google Apps
 

Hi Frank... That^ is EXACTLY what is needed to make the N800 a useful Internet tool. (insert "have a drink" emot-a-con)



Hi also to TA-t3,

No disrespect intended but who are you referring to by "we'll" (we will). I try to provide links to information that helps support my reasoning... However, if the "we'" means a super secret N800 society that I'm not privy to that is developing or has knowledge of information that is not posted here. Please let me know now.

I'll stop waisting my time with this thing and this board. :)

Re: Google Apps
 

The royal "we" :)
Seriously, "we" obviously means myself and anyone else interested. From reading postings it's clear that several are working one way or another at getting this to work, there's not more to it than that. In another thread (NB: It's as much work for me as for you to search for the actual thread) somebody also started a wiki page related to this, so there's clearly interest: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/WebAppsOnIT

Re: Google Apps
 

I'd just love to have a way to access www.wellsfargo.com with the N800. Right now it rejects Opera. That irritates the hell out of me. :mad:

Re: Google Apps
 

Have you tried to change the user-agent with Privoxy, as oft repeated here ?...

Re: Google Apps
 

The privoxy solution doesn't work for wells fargo. Presumably it'll try to go through https, which I _think_ (I'm not certain) would bypass the proxy's ability to change the user-agent. But if it can be set in the opera config file it might work.

Re: Google Apps
 

Privoxy does change the user-agent while proxing https, I do it all the time.

Re: Google Apps
 

Ok. In any case, it doesn't work with wf -- just another example of dubious javascript testing I guess.

Re: Google Apps
 

Hi,

i found http://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/

There are already a development for Maemo and the N800 ????????

Thanks
