Received set of NFC tag stickers from San Francisco. Now I can start coding and testing NFC enabled games and apps. I’ll use Nokia C7 as a developer device and when N9 is available I can port apps to MeeGo.
I was quite surprised to notice that latest Series 40 phones support standard W3C widgets. If that wasn’t enough to get my attention I also noticed that they have a competition for creating apps that run on Series 40 Feature Pack 1 devices.
What I did was converted my Symbian^3 game, Blockers, for Series 40 screen size and packaged the game as stated in W3C standard. Unfortunately I don’t have a Series 40 phones myself but luckily Nokia also provides simulator with Nokia Web Tools for testing e.g. Series 40 Web Apps. The shown screenshot was taken from the simulator.
If you happen to have a Series 40 (especially Touch and Type) phone, I would be really interested on hearing how the game works on your phone!
Game can be downloaded from project site, here. …or direct link to .wgt file.
I’ve used the “official” Foursquare widget on my Nokia N8 since it was launched but now that we are getting more and more Qt based apps it has started to feel a bit slow and clumsy compared to other apps.
I started to develop the Nelisquare app for my Nokia N900 since it doesn’t have many Foursquare clients but since I use my N8 every now and then I also compiled a version for that too.

Now you can download the first pre alpha preview version of Nelisquare app. Nelisquare is a Foursquare client for Maemo and upcoming MeeGo devices. There might also be a version for Symbian^3 phones.
I’ll try to start using the repositories for distribution but at the moment you can download this preview from here:
I’ve started working on a simple Foursquare client, Nelisquare. It’s written in pure QML and JavaScript and plan is to have it working on the Maemo and MeeGo devices. It should run on Symbian^3 devices as well if really needed.
Here is a short video preview of the current pre alpha version of Nelisquare running on Nokia N900:
What do you think? What features would you like to see in Foursquare app?
