Despite holding Windows Phone 7 as the main OS, Nokia does not necessarily leave OS MeeGo. In fact, Nokia officials confirmed the presence of the Nokia N950 as a new handset-based MeeGo, OS that Nokia worked with Intel.
Nokia N950 serve as the successor of the N900. Designation is more to the developers and those who understand technology or the like to modify a gadget. N950 existence was confirmed by Rich Green, Chief Technology Officer of Nokia in a developer forum.
MeeGo has announced that it will release Meego 1.2 Developer Edition for Nokia N900. It will be a version for developers to start working with it, with some important functions. Flashed with this edition N900 will be usable as a primary phone device for a developer/hacker person. This will not be something for regular end users.
The focus is on meeting the non-functional targets (such as performance) rather than number of features. This will hopefully encourage more people to use MeeGo on N900, and continue enhancing the functionality or build new stuff.
SPB Brain Evolution which tasted success on iPhone, windows mobile, Symbian today launched for Nokia N900 as a free download. It is an intellectual software game that helps to train the brain and improve memory, logic, arithmetic, and puzzle-solving skills. The application is a suit of 12 games, which have to be played in sequence: only good results in a game, unlock the next one.
The Maemo operating system on Nokia N900 does not yet have official support for Java, but thanks to lcedtea6 and Microemulator apps we can run any Java app on our N900. MicroEmu is a pure Java implementation of Java ME. MicroEmu is licensed under LGPL and major parts under Apache License as well. Since then, a lot of work has been done to make this tool even better and support more and more different Java ME applications and games. I’ve got a lot of positive feedback as well which also helped improving quality of this project.
Sometime ago that already we speak that the Maemo operating system on Nokia N900 had not support for MMS, although you can use MMS be quite expensive and quite useless if your terminal can be connected to networks such as Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger or social networks as Facebook or Twitter and also has email.
But now, thanks to the app based on Python called fMMS, already is possible to send MMS from our N900. fMMS is not yet available in the repository Extras-Devel, but if you can install as .deb. Personally i don’t like install .deb files, but if you are very interested in prove fMMS is a risk that you can run or wait it in Extra-Devel.
The Maemo operating system on Nokia N900 will not support for MMS (multimedia messaging), a tool that some users in their terminals. But that is increasingly being used less because it has become something useless if we have a plan of data or sending photos. It allows us to browser by the internet free of charge, replacing with ease the MMS with e-mail. By the way this recent smartphones range medium-high which have been launched to the market, as is the Nokia N900, do not include this tool. As happened with the iPhone, although its new versions yes include this feature.
