True about the contacts integration w/o Qn, debatable on the messaging integration, stability/responsiveness no Qn again, stock Maemo 6x client does have events, not sure about groups.

I wish Sygic was available for Meego. Nokia Drive freaks me out. It's not the first time it made driver all the way around however it did take me to where I wanted. But 20km instead of 5? Come on. I could also pick the right path I want to drive. For example I could disable a road, so that navigation wouldn't even take into consideration while choosing the road. Pretty cool thing to have.

A dev here was planning to implement that (among some other things).
Perhaps you could bump the thread &/or try to contact him to see what his latest plans are.

EDIT:
I've PM'd the dev, but it can't hurt for others to bump that thread & try to contact him via PM or other means.
My recollection may be wrong, but IIRC he was in last yr's DDP...
So in theory he's obligated to deliver whatever he committed to delivering when he was given a N950.

Fritzbox App
Dreambox Control App (like DreamDroid Beta on Android with Recorder, Reboot and more function)

No App, but function:
Datatransfer over MSN/ICQ/Skype
Document Editing
Java over Standart Browser or Opera, Firefox...

damn Shazam, SoundHound or anything like it...but working...Eyrie is nice but totally non-functional...
still, isn't there any way in the world to simply port it from Symbian without involving the original joints as they both clearly stated it won't happen for MeeGo, ever...?
I'm positive a hell lot of people would pay for that without any hesitation...

I'm interested in helping connecting the dots between user needs, developers with apps published and developers considering what to do next.

I just started a wiki page:

http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...i/Apps_Missing

You are encouraged to help filling it with useful data, editing it directly or posting here your feedback. If you choose to post here please follow this format for easy copy&paste:

* [http://store.ovi.com/content/ZZZZ App linked to store] - Shortest description.
** Why you miss this app. Is it for a feature that other apps could provide? Is it a specific brand or service you are after? One sentence is enough.

I believe we can get good results out of this!

PS: my work focuses on Qt and http://qt-project.org - hence the interest on MeeGo Harmattan & Symbian apps.

Easy Debian Harmattan provides OpenOffice/LibreOffice (writer, calc, etc), Abiword, Gnumeric, etc.

Java (OpenJDK) is available in Iceweasel/Firefox.

Re: What apps are you missing for the Nokia N9?
 
Hello Maemo community, this is my first post. Bought a N9 a couple of months ago, and I love it.

One app that i am missing from the android platform is the MessagEase keyboard. It is absolutely the best and fastest way to type with a smartphone.

http://www.exideas.com/ME/index.php

If any one of you developers are interested in making it work with the N9, i would donate immediately.

cheers!

Well...

There is still SMSCON missing for our beloved N9/MeeGo! :(

*dreaming* Waiting for devs to port it to MeeGo *dreaming* :rolleyes:

A great stock application where you create portfolios.

Sometime ago I did, but for some reason I can't remember I did not like it - will have to give it a second try. But you don't get streetview there, right?

Nope sadly no streetview...You mustn't have liked it due to the UX which takes some getting used to...

Have you tried changing your browser's UA to Android and then tried the google maps site?

nope - I'll look into that and see how it goes - thanks for the idea!

EDIT: I've played around a little bit with user agent and I still can't seem to get access google maps, neither with android nor ios UA - shame, I really thought this could work :)

Re: What apps are you missing for the Nokia N9?
 
Am pulling the forum newbie thing and just not reading all the posts (there are just too many, and I got here by searching anyways). I'm a new N9 (64GB Black) owner, and so these are some of the apps/services that I'm "missing:"

- Amazon Music (would prefer this to merely be credentials that plug the Music Player right into it
- Nokia Music (used and enjoyed the DJ function on a Lumia 900 I owned for a while; this would also be preferred as the Amazon Music just mentioned)
- LinkedIn (MeeIn is ok, but not fully baked into the OS; misisng Activity Stream, abiltiy to share to service, and view/interact with groups)
- a whole series of Activity Stream services (ESPN/NFL/NBA/etc scores...)
- OCR/Business card scanner that is plugged into Camera (put option where stills/video is to do text)
- that neat python CMS that was with the old symbian mobile web server project (gosh I miss that)
- loyality card/payment card section in Accounts that enables/allows for payments based on context or gesture switch (three taps mean I want to make a transaction kind of thing)

I've got more in my head. But, this is only because I'm late to the party. Expect me to write on this soon enough... there's a lot about MeeGo that's been left unexplored that BB10 and others could easily benefit from by making it work here 1st.

Thanks knobtviker...

I'm a new N9 user but an old N810 user from way back. It's nice to see that developers are still releasing apps for this fantastic phone.

I am missing google or skype vidoe chat :(

knobtviker 2013-05-03 20:41

Google Video actually works occasionally. They change server side more often than I change my socks.
Skype Video call, well, I'm on the lookout.

I await for Skype. A HUGE donation coming your way if you can make it happen :D

justadude 2013-05-04 21:48

Re: What apps are you missing for the Nokia N9?
 
Oh yea, and possibly port the F1 app to N9. Not the live timing one that used to be on N900, but the one for Android and IOS that has driver track position and other goodies. F1LT looks promising because it is written with Qt, but the Soft Paurer one has more features.

myname24 2013-05-04 22:01

Re: What apps are you missing for the Nokia N9?
 
i think for the F1 thing there is ESPNF1 in the store .

justadude 2013-05-05 00:41

The ESPNf1 app is terrible. Thanks for the tip though

Are you saying you may implement something?
Bayskom* IIRC had progressed quite far with Peregrine...
But then they went 100% AWOL & refused to address many requests for better feedback than their terse 1-2 sentence response.**
See mainly pages 13-14 IIRC....
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81043&page=13
Perhaps they have some code you can re-use?

*they were one of the many small co's that Nokia had contracted to do such work IIRC
**that response wouldn't have happened if they hadn't been asked constantly (via various contact avenues) about the project's status

Same, I'd probably pay good money for a slick Skype/Google Video + Messaging app.

"Power timer"

have this on my N8 and miss it.
allows you to either turn an app off or completely shutdown phone after a preset time or minutes/hours countdown.

I use it to listen to music before falling asleep.

OpenXCOM 0.9 which was recently released is fully playable and it would be lovely if it was ported to the N9.
