After A Long Time

// August 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // 3dsmax, Maemo, Mobile, Personal, Python, Symbian, Uncategorized, Works

I’m just tired of writing articles that starts with “it has been a long time etc.”.Because i dont like writing so much.Anyway i’m trying to write as soon as i have free time.

So… There are a lot to write.

Lets get started with my first application for Maemo OS.It’s a simple application that calculate degree of a right triangle with a two given data.After a couple of “Hello World” application i just wanted to do something myself.Then this application came up.Infact this is not something new i generally use that right triangle angle calculator function when i learn a new programming language and if i dont have any software ideas.

And… It has been almost two months that i spent with The Nokia N810 tablet.I’m thinking to write a summary of my experiences with this device.Maybe that may help maemo beginners to use their devices with its all capabilities.

By the way i had a problem on my n95 8gb.It was always asking date and time after every restart.I had asked about this on so many discussion board.They said that i had to change its capacitor which saves date and time and i didnt do that.But however after a month it fixed itself i guess . It keeps date and time data now.

And.. i had a problem about 3d problem about my ATI video driver.It was causing errors in all 3d softwares such as 3dsmax , NaturalMotion etc. Last weekend i figured out how to fix this problem.i found  that error is happening on firmwares newer than 5.3.1. anyway …

You know i was going to interact my arduino with N810.After a long tiring hardship , I found that my hand-made arduino is not one of the supported devices and that project turned into a disappointment :(.This disappointment cost me about 15bucks , I wish I had bought that roll-up keyboard instead of that usb-serial converter .

By the way, I designed a wrist-case for n810 which I inspired by computer of the orion hacker in chuck the tv serie.I didnt make it.But i make another case to protect screen against stylus-scratches.Because it may cause serious scratches when you try to draw pictures or something in MyPaint or GIMP.

These are the issues of month as far as I remember.Also you can learn more about me from my twitter account.

N97 Vs. Iphone

// March 29th, 2009 // No Comments » // Personal, Symbian

Can We Really Call Them Multi-Media Computer?

Both Have Got Pros. And Cons.

Hi everybody,
Today i wanted to talk about the issue between n97 and iphone.You know after iphone came up to the scene , It brought a new era to phones’ within.

There was touch-screen phones before iphone too.But none of them could reach the success of iphone.
But why iphone could succeed this kinda success.Iphone’s success comes from its apis and its appearance.Iphone has nice design and its screen size was suitably big to its outer frame.Within this it’s OS is so powerful on mixing music.That’s why we can call it music.

Iphone is not only  a music player within being music player it has lots of app. to make music.And the reason that makes it a music phone is not just induced by it’s OS’s capability on music.It’s music abilities also supported with multi-touch screen.Multi-touch screen lets developers to developer highly interactive apps. like realistic music instruments.
But what about Symbian side?
Yes that’s true symbian developed lots of phones that is poerful on playing music with eq. , stereo capabilities.But there is no apps. on making or mixing the music.I researched on this issue.Yes there was almost no app. to make or mix. music.
Then i looked into nokia’s developers website. there is nobody talking about this kinda music mixing apps.And there is no tutorial about music mixing apis.So this means symbian is not enough powerful on music indeed.
There is an upcoming symbian phone called N97.It has non-multitouch screen.So we wont be even able to fun with the music.Then i wondered why nokia is not producing multi-touch phones.Therefore i write a couple of topics at symbian forums.It seems there is disadvantages and advantage of multi-touch phones.
Multi-touch phones arent worked with stylus.So that means drawing apps. wont be possible on multi-touch phones.And also while browsing webpages you will have to zoom into the link in order to tap to the correct link otherwise it’s possible to tap onto that tiny hyperlinks.
Also nonmulti-touch phones are capable to work with one finger.
As a conclusion,There is cons and pros at both of them.We will need to wait until they develop a phone with is capable with both of these technologies.Stylus and multi-touch in one phone.

But in according to me , i wont buy any other smartphone.Because their costs are even more expensive than a notebook.And netbooks are cheaper than smartphones.I will buy a touch-screen netbook next time instead of a new smartphone.

nGun First Beta Version Released!

// October 24th, 2008 // 10 Comments » // Announcements, Mobile, Python, Symbian, Works

Accelerometers are becoming more and more ubiquitous, motion technology is everywhere, mobile phones, computers even washing machines now contain accelerometers and motion based technology is truly everywhere.

The nGun is the latest application for accelerometer equipped phones and it definitely isn’t the most useful one, it is not even aimed to be! This one is just for one, a little application that uses motion technology on a bit different way, another cool thing to show off and to impress your friends and colleagues with your mighty phone.

The idea behind application is quite simple, it detects two different movements and play the appropriate sound, something like the light sabre application. When you rotate your phone’s nose up it will play a gun shooting sound but when you rotate your phone to left it will play the clip charging sound.
