Nokia Booklet

Nokia just introduced Nokia Booklet 3G mini-laptop. It is interesting to see if there are plans for a Linux version. With Qt, the underlying operating system should be somewhat irrelevant.

N900

Mobile Review has an interesting review of Nokia's forthcoming N900. It also includes some absorbing speculation about Nokia's strategies.

Maemo goes Qt

Now it's official: Maemo will switch to Qt. Not a big surprise.

Ubuntu One

Finally I got an invite to Ubuntu One. At the moment, it looks like a poor dropbox clone. But despite of this, I'm very much interested in seeing the future of it.

On the other hand, it would have not been a bad choice to call it Canonical One instead of Ubuntu One. Could you imagine Linus Torvalds selling a web service called Linux One...?

Firefox

New design ideas for Firefox look really interesting.

Trinidad

I kind of guessed it that Nokia is planning to enter laptop business. After acquiring Trolltech, it makes a lot of sense. Mobile phones, laptops, and internet should work well together. In a sense, Google, Apple, and Nokia are doing the same thing. They all think that this is the future and they want to lock their users to use their services. At the moment, Google is strong in the internet, Apple is strong in laptops/software, and Nokia is strong in mobile phones. Microsoft hasn't been very succesfull in this regards yet, but it is interesting to see what will happen.

Newsflash

Qt goes LGPL.
