Smartphone applications, interfaces, entertainment

The concept of smartphones has been pervasive in the last two years as the iphone has been on fire. In such a good situation, last year I also trendy to update their mobile devices. Perhaps to be different, I chose Non-mainstream, invested in the Nokia N900 this new system of smart phones.　　The new and unfamiliar features of the Maemo system based on Linux make it seem particularly mysterious. Perhaps Nokia's demand for smartphones is too harsh, and I remember the amazing feeling when I got the N900: the ease with which the whole keyboard was entered made up for the flaws of a slightly burly black fuselage; the resolution of the 3.5-inch screen sized was dark; You can edit the background Linux code, Even OpenOffice can be installed, this is clearly a micro-computer ... At this point, otherwise this article will be covered with the "Navy Test" chapter. Apart from the brand, system, preferences and other factors, actually want to share some of my N900 from the design highlights. Desktop and Widget applications

Wrongs, N900 's desktop is much more vivid and flexible than a neat little box on the iphone desktop. The system is equipped with/externally installed widgets can be configured by the user, placed on the desktop to complement each other. own desktop layout of their own decisions, feel the whole process of desktop design.

Multi-Task window processing

In the age of no ipad IOS4 multitasking, Maemo has followed Windows windowed mode, allowing users to use a real machine. Of course, to run multiple programs at the same time also take into account performance, the device itself has raised a high demand, but the smart phone to introduce the concept of multitasking windows and N900 on the implementation of the results are commendable.

Access and management of app

There are obvious differences between app access and iphone in Maemo system. In terms of ease of use, the iphone offers the App Store as the only platform for users to quickly and easily find their apps, and the service is indeed quite in place (as with a list of issues such as a pay or jailbreak, which skips 10,000 words-) Maemo provides a "source" form other than the Ovi store.

Users can add a variety of maemo application sources in their settings, which can be obtained after starting the program manager. Settings slightly complex, the source address also need to search from various professional forums on the Internet, the general user for the angry, enthusiasts are happy. Reason geometry? The variety of applications obtained through the source often surprises people. At this point the user may be called "player" more appropriate.

As for "program management", Maemo continue to follow the "uninstall" concept of Windows, compared to the previous fork in iOS can remove the operation of the application, it is no God horse innovation can speak.

Entertainment

Before the start of N900 saw some video game, incredibly can play StarCraft on the machine?! The recent 3D Thor Hammer can also be moved up to play ... This is not a mobile phone, I have been in mind all morning. Should I treat it with the request of the computer? Install play GBA simulator, pasture language, Demon City and other games are very shunliu ~ all kinds of flash games also bring endless fun. More of the Ashes level players use PS handle, Game Gripper external operation, mobile phone game machine-!

There are still many complaints, such as performance concerns, such as Nokia's power ... The last powerful machine was only a handful of enthusiasts.　　Recently, I often look at the hands of the machine, coupled with the iOS, Android, these mainstream mobile devices experience, I feel: to love deeply, but really felt a little powerless, is not I still love not deep? Pure sharing mood, plus a small spit groove, but also please haihan ^ ^ (this article from the Tencent CDC Blog, reproduced please specify the source)
