For those people who don't follow the linux-omap mailing list, a nice set of patches that begin to enable the HSPA modem of the new Nokia tablets, has just landed. These patches have yet to be reviewed but from a quick scan, they look in pretty good shape. They have been posted to the main kernel mailing list as well but as of this time, no comments have been made.

I wish the developers at Nokia would be more vocal about the development process, especially as there is a lot of anticipation for the Maemo 5 platform. I guess until we have them all blogging somewhere we will just have to piece together the parts of the puzzle ourselves.

Nokia's Carlos Chinea has announced:

Look what turned up in the post today.

I have big plans for this little beauty. First I need to play around with it but on my list of things to do in the not too distant future is port Entertainer to the beagle board with the intentions of running it on the new Maemo 5 platform.

git is my revision control system of choice. It is immensely powerful and fast but it does have a downside, it's pretty hard for new users to learn.

Recently I was asked, "what's the best way to learn git". I thought a little while, scratched my head some, and said I'd get back to them.

Anyway, I thought the solution I came up with could benefit others so here it is.

Another day, another video; this time its Nokia's Head of Marketing Peter Schneider. In this talk, Peter details what we can expect from Fremantle, the next iteration of the Maemo platform.

Part 2 of the two part series recorded at the OSiM conference in Berlin is now online. Dave Neary starts by giving a history of Maemo and continues on talking about the community and its way forward. Niels Breet highlights some of the issues the Maemo website is facing and proposes future changes.

This time the video is in 720p (click the full screen button). I'm still experimenting with video hosting sites; this one is on blip.tv. It would of been uploaded to vimeo but it constantly failed on upload for some reason. Maybe next time.
