Upgraded to Diablo!
09/July/2008 18:21 Filed in: Technology
I upgraded my Nokia N800 to the newest firmware a
while back, and I have to say that I am pretty
pleased! Initially I was not going to upgrade because
I was really not looking forward to reinstalling my
applications. Thankfully, the backup that I did also
captured most of my config files so I did not have to
configure more of my upgraded apps.
My overall impression of Diablo is favorable. I am really liking the new email client, and the browser seems snappier than before but maybe it’s just new-OS-it is that I am experiencing, so we’ll see how that goes.
I decided to upgrade the firmware on the N800 for one reason: Over-the-Air upgrades! (OTA). This means that in the future, when there are new OS upgrades, I can just download them over the Wifi network and install them without needing a PC, and without needing to reinstall all my apps again – which is something I hate to do. I just want my device to work, not to make me work in order for it to work.

Maemo: Where’s my CJK?
21/January/2008 09:27 Filed in: Technology
One of the things that bugs me in my internet tablet
is the lack of (what I consider to be) important
scripts. Nokia has not included Chinese, Japanese or
Korean (CJK) in ITOS2008 (and it was not available in
ITOS2007 either). Now, my knowledge of these
languages is limited, but I am learning, and it would
be helpful if I could go to websites that have text
in CJK to be able to have it legible. It would also
be nice to type in CJK scripts - quite useful for
last.fm or looking up something in a dictionary.
On a related note, no Hebrew or Arabic is supported by the internet tablet OS. Why? I know that a lot of people speak English, but there are websites out there that use these scripts, and it would be nice if they rendered properly for the people who can read those scripts!
