Stroke of lightning, hard to be mobile
2008-07-16 11:48:58
At least vacation, time for 5 weeks holiday!
Me and my family are now at a little island called Åland (placed between Sweden and Finland). We rent a little nice house at Eckerö.

I always try to test new devices on the road. This time I bring with me: a SonyEricsson G900, a Nokia N810, a Nokia E61 and also my Macbook Air. Perhaps you wondering why I have to bring two mobile phones? My G900 is my small always used mobile phone, my E61 is my perfect Email device, thats thanks to Nokia Email (push out Email from my Google's Gmail account). My N810 I use for writing in my Google blog (thanks to the perfect software called MaemoWordPy) and I also use it for gps navigation in my car. My Macbook air I use for transfer pictures from my Camera, but I think it is to big for this type of travel, I plan to perhaps buy me a Asus EEE PC 901 instead.

But bad times happen (why now?), yesterday at home a stroke of lightning destoy my router and also my ADSL modem, now I don't get any Email any more and my web site www.ojn.se don't work any longer.
Also today my wayfinder software at my N810 suddently became corrupt and navigation don't work any longer either. I had to go back to manually navigation, a paper map and my wife, she always does a good work. :-)

My favourite Blogger blog client for my Nokia N810 is Maemo wordpy!
It is very nice to be able to write a blog entries off line and later publishing it when I have Internet connection available.
There is now a new release, version: 0.6.1-2, that work with Diablo. That is very nice, thanks very much for this new release!

One Symbian - Symbian Foundation
2008-06-25 12:18:54

Now we have seen Nokia's response to Google's Android, it is Symbian Foundation!!

I think it is a good thing for us (consumers), we now have three open platforms for mobile devices: Android, LiMo and Symbian

The only bad thing is that Sweden’s UIQ Mulls More Than Halving Staff On Symbian News

Google's handsets (Androrid) delayed
2008-06-23 23:48:58
"Google Inc. is learning that changing the cellphone industry isn't easy."

"Google now says that the handsets won't arrive until the fourth quarter."

Am I surprised?

No, it has always been so in the JavaME mobility area!!

But I think it is always nice with competition so I am positive that we soon have the Google Android. I think this will help us in the future to get better Java support i mobile devices!!

I think changes have to happen in JavaME area VERY SOON!!

eclipse and JavaME
2008-06-21 16:18:27
The Eclipse Mobile Tools for the Java Platform (MTJ) project is being restarted some months ago using the EclipseME as the new development base code, read more here

I hope the MTJ project plan to support JavaME Mac users better than Netbeans do today!!

I love Netbeans and NetBeans Mobility 6.1 provides better support for Mac, but the Mac is still unsupported platform and this is not ok, I hope for something better!

Today It force me to using VMware Fusion (installing Windows XP + Netbeans) when I developing JavaME applications on my Mac, I don't like that!!
