Por fin salio el BIG update… la lista de nuevas caracteristicas esta en el wiki y la discucion en tmo

La actualizacion se transmite via OTA (via aire) o pueden usar el NokiaSoftwareUpdater o las imagenes FIASCO

La version PR 1.0.1 es la 2009.44-1, la cual es solo un minor bugfix para poder actualizar a la version PR 1.1 ( aka 2009.51-1 ) que saldra a fin de mes.

Los cambios segun comento konttori_nokia en #maemo son:

1. Nuevo kernel que aumenta el nivel de compresion para hacer espacio para el siguiente version
2. Eliminado el soporte para icon cache que nos comia espacio en cada nuevo programa que se instalaba
3. Muchos fix (37) en el Administrador de Aplicaciones (h-a-m), nueva interface, soporte para la ovi store

Lo mas importante de esta actualizacion es la posibilidad de actualizar ( en un futuro muy cercano ) a la version PR1.1 ( aka 2009.51-1 ) que traera muchas novedades.

Onformacion original :

konttori_nokia: kernel contains one fix, which is allowing HAM to trigger ubifs to higher compression level for the SSU update.
konttori_nokia: browser contains one fix, which is browser UA string to say that it’s pr1.0.1 device.
konttori_nokia: GTK contains one fix, which is dropping the icon cache support.
konttori_nokia: application manager contains 37 fixes, mostly related to SSU stability
konttori_nokia: And a bit related to the new look of the app grid.

Me compre mi nokia N900 en un tiempo record… ordenado un dia 20 de Noviembre, despachado el lunes 23 y recibido el dia 24 en la mañana! Genial! ( en el primer lote de entrega ) con un descuento de un 25%… lo cual lo hizo mas genial aun ( precio de mercado 600€ )

Solo dos cosas hecho de menos de mi BlackBerry 8100
1.- Poder usarla con una sola mana para chat, sms, navegar, al ser horizontal para esas tareas, llamar se puede verticalmente
2.- La tecnologia Push, que los mensajes los envia el servidor a mi celular a penas estan disponibles ( sms, email, chat ) y no debe estar cada x minutos revisando si existe algo nuevo… lo que se refleja en la duracion de la bateria.

Bonus: bicicleta dali….

El dia 28 de noviembre del 2009 nos juntamos Mateo, Andrea, Andrea (otro, puso el local… lleno de productos manzanas) y yo a ver y tocar el Nokia N900 que les habian regalado prestado en Amsterdam en la Maemo Submit 2009.

El InternetTablet que en esta version ademas es capaz de usar paquetes de datos GRPS/UMTS y llamar, trae un upgrade de hardware como una CPU ARM Cortex-A8, 32GB de almacenamiento, Camara de 5MPX, OpenGL-ES 2.0 ademas de wifi, bluetooth, gps, flash, java, una segunda camara webcam y teclado

En italia lo vende Nokia y Expansys por el momento.

Como soy una persona ultra online, deseo saber de la forma más inmediata posible cuando me llegue un correo sin tener que acercarme al pc, ni gastar mucho $$ para poder tener una blackberry.

Que necesito:

1. (OPCIONAL) Una Bolsa de nevagación wap mensual (en mi caso de entelpcs), el gasto aproximado es de 300kb por día recibiendo muchos mail y sufriendo varias desconecciones al estar moviendome mucho por lugares con poca o nula señal
2. Un celular Sony Ericsson k550 ( el k510 igual sirve… y no se cual más )
3. Un servidor Imap con IDLE ( el de gmail por ejemplo )

Como lo configuro para el caso de gmail o google for app

En tu SE k550i debes ir a Mensajes -> Email -> Ajustes -> Nueva Cuenta y llenar

• Conectar usando: selecciona la conección a wap si van a usar una bolsa de navegación o la conección que sea más conveniente, mas info en mi post sobre apn para nevegar en chile
• Tipo de conexion: IMAP
• Servidor de entrada: imap.gmail.com
• Nombre de usuario: micuenta@gmail.com
• Servidor de salida: smtp.gmail.com

y en avanzado ponemos:

• Descarga enviar y recibido: solo asuntos
• Intervalo de revisión: Desactivado
• El email push no nos dejara configurarlo todavia
• Cifrado: Entrada= ssl, Salida = tls
• Puerto de entrada: 993
• Puerta de salida: 465 o 587

[solo muestro los campos que no son triviales de llenar]

Ahora al ir a Mensajes -> Email -> Bandeja de entrada y poner enviar y recibir nos preguntara si deseamos activar el push mail a lo cual respondemos que SI

Ahora nuestro celular estara permanentemente conectado a Internet a la espera que le lleguen los correos. Cada vez que llegue uno nos saldrá el sonido configurado y un aviso de nuevo e-mail.

Nota: El nokia n800 y el n810 con el OS2008 Feature Upgrade Pack ( AKA diablo AKA 4.1 ) usa el cliente de correo Modest, el cual esta basado en tinymail que soporta Push Mail el cual tambien nos avisa apenas llega un mail… GENIAL!!

Nota2: el Apple Iphone usa esta misma tecnica para el push mail con yahoo y otros

HowTO Audifonos Bluethoot en Linux

Primero se debe buscar el dispositivo y asociarlo:

hcitool scan
hcitool cc xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Luego agregamos el soporte para sonido estereo ( blutumusic ) y para sonido monofonico+microfono ( blutucall )

rlinfati@centrino:~$ cat .asoundrc
pcm.blutumusic {
   type bluetooth
   device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
   profile hifi
}
pcm.blutucall {
   type bluetooth
   device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
   profile voice
}

Activamos el soporte a las teclas ( stop, pause, adalante, atras )

modprobe uinput

Y activamos que suene la musica por ellos.

gconftool -t string -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink "alsasink device=blutumusic";

Y para volver a los parlantes usamos

gconftool -t string -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink "alsasink";

Si queremos llamar a bajo costo a telefonos fijos, incluso celulares. Si queremos tener un número fijo en alguna ciudad y poder recibir las llamadas en cualquier lugar del planeta, etc… nuestra solucion es el uso de VoIP

Actualmente tengo 2 servicios que me gustan y utilizo al dia a dia que son Beta max atravez del clon VoIP Discount y Skype

Para usar skype necesitamos CASI OBLIGATORIAMENTE un computador para usarlo o algun dispositivo compatible como los Internet Tablet de Nokia, un PSP o algun SkypePhone. Los dos productos que utilizo de esta empresa son “Pais Sin Limite” y Skype-in

Pais Sin Limite permite realizar llamadas a telefonos fijos a un costo de 3mil (6 dolares) pesos mensuales con un máximo de 10.000 minutos al mes, especial para pasar horas y horas hablando con la polola. Ademas incluye VoiceMail, Skype-in y Skype2GO

Skype-in permite tener un número telefonico fijo en algunos de los paisese que se ofrece el servicio, entre ellos Chile. Asi tengo mi número telefonico fijo en Concepción o Santigo y cuando las personas me llamen atiendo atravez de Skype en mi Internet Table o el Computador.

La otra empresa que utilizo es VoIPDISCOUNT el cual por solo 7mil (10 euros) pesos me permite hablar a telefonos fijos durante 90 dias con un máximo de 300 minutos semanales medidos por usuario e ip. Ademas el costo de las llamdas a celulares es de 56 pesos el minuto ( 0,08 euros/minuto ) y los mensajes de texto a 14 pesos ( 0.02 euros/sms ). La calidad de voz es levemente inferior a Skype, pero a la vez es mucho mas barato. Ademas cuenta con la opcion de servidores SIP con lo cual podemos utilizar un adaptador de telefonia ip y poder realizar llamadas desde un telefono tradicional sin necesidad del utilizar el computador.

Para elegir el clon correcto de betamax tememos tablas comparativas de precios para llamadas y sms

Ambos se pagan con Paypal o atravez de algun revendedor como yo

Podemos ver que actualizaron la lista de calles de todo chile, incluso en ciudades chicas como Los Angeles y Angol.

Los mapas nuevos son entregados por dmapas, me hubiera gustado que fueran los mapas de planos.cl que son mas completos, pero es lo que hay… igual se agradece… ahora a bajar todo chile a mi pda!!!
