Introducing the Nokia N9: all it takes is a swipe!
-
Any idea if N950 developer kit be made available for any developer programs offered by http://developer.qt.nokia.com.
-
[quote author="Andre" date="1308640544"]I don't know about those programs, but yes, there are kits available (already received an offer). [/quote]
So was the offer a part of being Qt Ambassador
-
[quote author="Andre" date="1308641704"]Basically, yes. Ambassadors have been offered one on loan if they could tell what they want to use it for.[/quote]
Thats a good news for all those Qt Ambassadors wanting to work on MeeGo platform.
-
Too bad that only the N950 has a hardware keyboard, and i cannot get one of those.
In the "N9 specification":http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/N9-00/ there is a "Qt Games API" mentioned.
Does anybody know what is meant by this? -
bq. Basically, yes. Ambassadors have been offered one on loan if they could tell what they want to use it for.
I hope our Qt ambassadors can inform us about their findings/tests using the Qt sdk on it. If feedback is positive i'm very interested in buying one
-
N950 is not for sale and looks like Nokia is releasing limited number of phones for developers.
-
Also Nokia N9 happens to be the first mobile device running WebKit 2. N80 was the first one running Webkit 1.

Can I pre-order this? ;;) I need to buy a smart-phone anyway and what better than the Qt and Meego based N9! Oh and it looks so coool!

Yes, go to swipe.nokia.com and there is all the information you need.

Hmm... I checked there, but only found a "check availability" button. And the countries drop-down has no "India". In fact, China is the only Asian country on the list.

While I don't agree with their pessimism, here is an opinion piece on Ars Technica about the N9:

Wow now I seriously consider writing Qt apps for MeeGo and Symbian. I hesitate because not only Nokia didn't expose a clear future for MeeGo, but I heard the process to submit and maintain your application on Ovi store is a real pain. Do somebody have more info about the latter ?

May not agree with you on this.. I have submitted 2 applications recently. The process is very much straightforward and does not take much time to publish it once your application is ready. And you get to see detailed report of your application performance everyday and you can see how many people have downloaded your application in each country and for each phone model.
check www.publish.ovi.com for more details and Qt SDK 1.1 is helping me a lot.
