Tum: Twitter client for Maemo and Symbian S60
I do not finished my undergraduate degree yet, I have a long history behind it. People sometime treat me like an idiot. I'm not a dumb or I don't like to study.
Every single day I study what I like, I try to acquire skills informally, talking with experts, observing others, through trial-and-error, maybe I am going to be the next Brazilian president ... kidding ...
I've been working in my very spare time in a twitter client for Maemo and Symbian phones. It's called TUM, acronym to Twitter User Magnificent. You can see a video from an old version at this Youtube page.
Please, note that I have changed the name of the project because there is already another Twitter client called QTwitter.

Qt for S60 pre-release “Tower” released: Webkit support!
"Tower" is the fifth pre-release from the Qt for S60 porting project. It is based on the Qt 4.5 codebase. Release focus has been on improving graphics and network performance, better GUI integration, and porting even more Qt modules to S60.
New modules in this package are:
- QtSql: SQL module with sqlite3 backend
- QtWebkit: Experimental Webkit support for S60
- Phonon: The Phonon multimedia library (currently without a backend)
Other highlights:
- Windows Installer with pre-built Qt for S60 for both emulator and phone
- Added support for QLocalSocket & QLocalServer
- Added API for setting softkeys
- Experimental support of the new Symbian build system
- Experimental handling of out-of-memory situations and exceptions
A detailed list of changes is available at:

Later today I am going to play with it ![]()
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

Flyer Framework runs on almost any OS

Hello readers, sorry for the long time without posting ... Long short story ... but... Let's to the party!
I am very glad to share our latest news in open source development. You should know that Flyer was primarily built to extend mobile technologies... but... along the development we've discovered the truly power of our platform.
Flyer Framework runs on almost any OS (Symbian, Linux, Windows, Mac OS) that supports both Flash Player and Python. Not all features can be included for every platform at the moment but we are working to do that!
I uploaded a video showing the framework working on Maemo (Linux 2.6.21) on youtube. You can also get access to a short piece of FFM source code at google code page. As soon as I finish the docs I will publish the Flyer source code for Symbian S60.
Flyer Framework for Maemo

It’s been a year since we published the first version of the Flyer Framework. We have written several new libraries (maybe some patents found!).
Now we are working to make public the Flyer Framework 2 release 457 and also Flyer Emulator 1 release 55! We are also working to release the first porting of Flyer Framework for Maemo Devices (yes, it's true! Flyer Framework is working with the Flash Player Plugin embedded on the browser! Flex support!)
Flyer Framework dramatically accelerate the use of advanced native features anywhere! Enthusiasts and developers are welcomed to join the Flyer Framework user group.
Got Python working on N800 and N810!

Maemo rocks! To easily become root on a N810 Device you need to install the OpenSSH (at the end of the installation you will be prompted to change the root password), run x-term application to get a command line prompt, and inside the x-term type: sudo /usr/sbin/gainroot
To install Python for Maemo, inside the x-term type:
- pt-get update
- apt-get install python2.5-runtime
Hope this help!
