March 8th, 2010Nokia + Intel + Linux = MeeGo
February 15th, 2010MeeGo is an open source, Linux project which brings together the Moblin project, headed up by Intel, and Maemo, by Nokia, into a single open source activity. MeeGo integrates the experience and skills of two significant development ecosystems, versed in communications and computing technologies. The MeeGo project believes these two pillars form the technical foundations for next generation platforms and usages in the mobile and device platforms space.
MeeGo includes:
- Performance optimizations and features which enable rich computational and graphically oriented applications and connected services development
- No-compromise internet standards support delivering the best web experiences
- Easy to use, flexible and powerful UI/app development environment based on Qt
- Open source project organization managed by the Linux Foundation
- State of the Art Linux stack optimized for the size and capabilities of small footprint platforms and mobile devices, but delivering broad linux software application compatibility
Python for S60 2.0.0 released
February 11th, 2010Python for S60 2.0.0 released.
Changes 2.0.0 from 1.9.7:
- Repeat support in 4-way directional pad
- Lot of memory leaks in the interpreter code is fixed.
- appuifw.app.track_allocations can be set if the interpreter should track all memory allocations and then free the memory which was not explicitly released before application exit. To debug memory leaks in 3rd party extension modules set the value to false.
- All the Pyds that have zero UID will be assigned with the applications UID at the time of packaging.
As a result, Python applications can now be symbian signed. This opens the door for submitting Python applications to OVI Store. - Pdf documentation is available in the installer/archive.
- API cleanup in the SensorFW module.
- On the below mentioned devices Python runtime and its dependencies will be installed automatically when the Python applications is started. 6220 classic, N86 8 MP, N85, 6720 classic, 6730 classic, N96, 5730 XpressMusic, N78, 5630 XpressMusic, E52, E55, 6710 Navigator, E75, N79, 5800 XpressMusic, 5530 XpressMusic, 5230, X6 and N97 mini
Feature requests:
- 3792 – Python Runtime and application sis can be on different drives. The limitation of both should be installed on the same drive is eliminated.
Corrected defects:
- 4345 – Missing (platform) functionality on ensymble/Application packager: The 2nd point in the bug description is fixed
- 3935 – appuifw.Icon sample code refers to non-existing file [doc error]
Symbian Is Open
February 4th, 2010The Symbian platform is a free open-source software platform for mobile devices. From Symbian^3 onwards you can get any of the source, modify it, and contribute back the changes.

Android 2.1 Release 1 has arrived!
January 12th, 2010
Android 2.1 is a minor platform release deployable to Android-powered handsets starting in January 2010. This release includes new API changes and bug fixes.
The sections below provide information about changes made to the application framework API provided by the Android 2.1 platform.
API level
The Android 2.1 platform delivers an updated version of the framework API. The Android 2.1 API is assigned an integer identifier — 7 — that is stored in the system itself. This identifier, called the “API Level”, allows the system to correctly determine whether an application is compatible with the system, prior to installing the application.
To use APIs introduced in Android 2.1 in your application, you need to set the proper value, “7″, in the attributes of the <uses-sdk> element in your application’s manifest.
For more information about how to use API Level, see the API Levels document.
