Developer Talk At UFPE: How to Build Your Own Smartphone with Symbian OS

The time is running out for the end of the year and I forgot to mention about the First Free Software Conference of the UFPE. There I had the pleasure to meet Wilkens and others great open source advocates.

I also had a chance to talk about Symbian (we have compiled the Symbian^3 kernel there), Qt for S60 and a bit of Maemo. Check out some pictures from the presentation and slides.

Marcel, Thanks man for the opportunity!

Compiling EPL Symbian Kernel

I'm going to talk about Symbian OS at UFPE, the talk is entitled: How to build your own gadget with Symbian OS

It can seem too early to talk about it, but it's not! I've build the Symbian^3 Kernel on Windows! Now It's time to do some hacking on the platform. Hope to get a beagleboard to go forward.

Buscapé Widget: Compare preços direto do seu smartphone Nokia

O Buscapé Widget, um miniaplicativo para os smartphones Nokia N97 e 5800, desenvolvido pela pernambucana i2 tecnologia recebeu destaque recentemente em grandes portais de comunicação. É com muito orgulho que divulgo essa notícia pois é através de muito trabalho, esforço e dedicação que estamos alcançando respeito e niveis mais altos no mercado de aplicações para smartphones.

SÃO PAULO - Num esforço para tornar seu smartphone N97 mais atraente para consumidores brasileiros, a Nokia anunciou uma série de widgets desenvolvidos especificamente para os usuários do Brasil.
Segundo a Nokia, uma parceria entre desenvolvedores da fabricante e de empresas fornecedoras de conteúdo e serviços – como Terra e Buscapé, por exemplo – permitiu a criação dos widgets que podem ser instalados no N97 e, depois, acessados por meio de um único toque sobre a tela do celular, já que os miniaplicativos permitem a criação de atalhos já na tela inicial do smartphone.
Entre os widgets exibidos pela Nokia, estão soluções para buscas no comparador de preços BuscaPé, previsão do tempo fornecida pela Climatempo e conteúdo do portal Terra.

A i2tecnologia é uma empresa participante do Forum Nokia Launchpad.

Interview with Mark Wilcox: Qt for S60, Qt for S60 Mac OS X SDK, Symbian S60 and more!

Last month during a chat with Mark Wilcox, a top mobile developer, we talked a lot about Symbian S60 development. In my point of view some of the topics we talked are very important to all mobile developers and due to this importance I decided to publish this short interview.

Felipe Andrade
Hi Mark. How do you going?

Mark Wilcox
Hi Felipe, I'm good thanks. How about you?

Felipe Andrade
I'm fine but a bit confused. I would like to know your thoughts regarding Qt. At the current stage Qt for S60 seems promising but are there any efforts to port Qt for iPhone or Android at Nokia? I know, there are some legal problems with iphone yet.

Mark Wilcox
Qt for iPhone would be easy - Mac OS X is already supported (including a Cocoa port) but Apple doesn't allow "runtimes" so at the moment no port is planned.

Android doesn't allow native apps. There is a native SDK for JNI style coding but it's unclear whether that will be available to 3rd party developers.

No native = no Qt - even though the base platform is Linux.

Nokia is going with Qt all the way, so the GTK+ bits of Maemo will become less important.

Personally I think the interesting area for future app development is in Web/native hybrids (using Qt WebKit on Nokia & other Symbian devices).

Felipe Andrade
and Symbian C++?

Mark Wilcox
For system programming only. In Symbian^4 Avkon will be removed.

Qt (and Orbit) will be the application framework on all Symbian devices.

Felipe Andrade
so... Qt will support all Symbian APIs, right?

Mark Wilcox
Most. There is the Qt Mobility project and Qt Mobile extensions. It will still be possible to write hybrid code that accesses the system APIs, like you can with Qt on other platforms now.

Felipe Andrade
Are there any efforts to port Symbian SDK to Mac OS X?

Mark Wilcox
Yes. More specifically to Linux, but Mac OS X should work too as it's basically BSD.

Felipe Andrade
Cool! What do you think about the Nokia market share in the next years?

Mark Wilcox
Market share for Nokia is likely to be quite stable in these tough economic times. They may not have the best UX at the moment, but their touch phones are much cheaper than Android and iPhone devices. Nokia also has a good position with Qwerty devices.

Felipe Andrade
Mark, can I publish our conversation in my blog? I think it could be useful for others user and developers.

Mark Wilcox
Also, if you need links to the info on Qt replacing Avkon, there is public info on this on the developer.symbian.org wiki.Search for Direct UI.

Felipe Andrade
Thank you very much for your time and patience!

Mark Wilcox
You're welcome.

Felipe Andrade
Bye for now.

Mark Wilcox
Bye.

Free WorldWide SMS for Nokia Internet Tablet Users!

Hi All,

It's a long time since my last post. I've been involved in many activities at i2tecnologia from Adobe Flex to Nokia Web Runtime.
In my spare time I have built a GTK/C version of my proof of concept software. It's called beCloser and has as main focus connect people. This is the first alpha release of the beCloser Marketing tool for Nokia Internet Tablets (N810), for testing purposes only, intended to:

* get more knowledge of maemo development
* engage with open source development
* get feedback from friends and experienced users
* encourage students to start from scratch

My main focus when I started coding beCloser was to connect people around the world with existing mobile technologies. By providing sponsored SMS messages I want to bring mobile communications to a new level.

The beCloser Maemo Edition brings free worldwide sms messages to Nokia Internet Tablets. It's a proof of concept software! Sorry, I can not guarantee that everything is working fine at this time.

* send free worldwide SMS
* easy debian packaging

For N800 users:
Please, please, help me to know if it is working on N800

Developer Wishlist: Nokia Maps API

I was wondering how great is use Google Maps on web and mobile. We use it to develop web applications and small prototypes for cellphones. It would be great if Nokia decides to apply the same concept to Nokia Maps.

I'm not trying to bother Nokia but in my stupid opinion, Nokia holds the best navigation guide (Nokia Maps), the leading global provider of digital map data, a high skilled team why not extend their presence on mobile to web.

Nowadays there are a lot of runtimes on Nokia devices but I can't see any intent to provide public APIs to software developers. Why rework on the wheel if it's already made.

It would be very great to have an API to use digital vector data provided by Navteq and also public APIs from Nokia Maps to build a map module on web and mobile applications. I know that there are a lot of security and business issues behind it but it would be very great.

Turn your web, mobile . Turn your mobile, web. Just my two cents
