I'm afraid people are falling into the trap of expecting a specific announcement, and then discarding every news, no matter how cool or important that is not that one (in this case, a firmware upgrade or Flash 10). And it's not like we havent seen interesting things even in the last two days in the middle of a known Nokia holiday season. An interesting camera API ? A new, bug free(er) iteration of QtMobility that actually makes it usable ? The preview release of the Qt Web Runtime, a cornerstone tech bridging Symbian and Maemo/MeeGo ? I know it's never enough, but if anyone is setting oneself for unmet expectations, its ourselves - the goods are coming, even if not at the rate we would all like to see.

maybe this can be used for streaming films to in higher res so all whi9nners out there should atleast take a look at the API cause it looks like it replaces the closed kernel drivers? (not sure all is opened but looks promising atleast :-) Maybe we canb get higher res movies with this new API :-O

Cutt from FCam readme:

"CAM-DRIVERS

Description
-------------

FCam-drivers is a set of replacement kernel modules for the Nokia N900
camera subsystem, meant to be used in conjunction with the FCam
userspace camera API. These are all slightly modified from the
original code that is included in the kernel tree for the Nokia N900.

Nice.. installing the drivers and fcamera screwed up the app manager for some reason. I have dotted lines everywhere now and the internal camera fails to even open up. I should have just stuck to not trying it but was so tempted.

I had to remove Power kernel, because default camera app failed to start and Fcam showed grey image.

Maybe these new drivers will be the key to 720p video capture.......

Thanks yea no I kinda figured that already. I am back to being stable after purging it. I don't want to remove Titans kernel, i will wait till he updates it if he does that is.

Or perhaps stutter-free 480p, let's take one step at a time!

Installed via Fapman, rebooted and launched. Very, very impressive concept and execution. This is precisely what Maemo and the N900 is about.

Now to delve into the guts of the thing. Thanks Nokia

will this improve image quality?
will it open the gates to 720p video recording? or at least to smooth SD-video recording?
