Nokia Series 40 and W3C Widgets

Posted on by

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 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?

TwimGo 2.8.0 – Small Steps Forward

TwimGo on N8 - Share on OviFinished updating few features and fixes to TwimGo, my precious Twitter client. This new release has the following changes:

  • Dialogs no longer leak clicks through (and accidentally open e.g. tweet underneath)
  • Two new feeds:
    • My Tweets
    • Friends
  • Shows “in response to” original tweet in Tweet details view
  • Clicking “Load more…” link doesn’t jump to the top

Download the latest release from Forum Nokia Projects page, here. Unfortunately I had to compile the Symbian version with Qt 4.7.2 so you might need to upgrade your Qt version if you’d like to try out TwimGo.

 

Kasvopus 0.9.3 – Still not ready

Didn’t expect my Kasvopus app to get that much attention when I released it on last Saturday. There are already over two thousand users according to Facebook app statistics. So maybe I wasn’t alone in need of Facebook app for the Maemo and Symbian devices.

Previous version (0.9.2) was more like a alpha preview (and so is 0.9.3) to get some feedback from the users. There are now over hundred comments on the Kasvopus app page. Most of them are related to installation and authentication problems. Hopefully the Qt 4.7.2 will be included in the future firmware updates so that wouldn’t need users to install development versions of the Qt libraries.

Kasvopus uses WebView component for the authentication and it seems that N900 didn’t render the authentication pages in the same way as e.g. N8. So in this new version I changed the authentication page to use Facebook login page’s “wap” version which hopefully now shows the “Authenticate” button to all users and devices.

This new version also has the following changes:

  • Show notifications on startup (notifications can’t still be marked as read)
  • Smaller lower toolbar for the “Share status” button
  • “Kasvopus” title acts as a menu button to show:
    • Home feed icon
    • Friends list icon
    • User wall icon
    • Events icon
  • Friends and events lists are really basic and they don’t even have paging yet
  • Events view only show your current events without further details

Hope you like it! Go download new Kasvopus 0.9.3 files from http://kasvopus.com
