Nokia's MeeGo Devices division (aka "Maemo Devices") has posted a long survey to gauge user opinion on the N900: Tell us what you love about N900 and what you'd like to see changed. Your answers will help us improve N900 and make future Nokia devices better than ever. At ten pages the survey's quite long, but there's a good set of questions in there - and lots of space to complain about Ovi Maps!
Many people have been concerned about the loss or theft of their N900. Rafal Chomentowski has developed a new application, "I Am Here" which allows you to request - via SMS - information on your N900's location: I have been working previous weeks on an application, that I personally needed very much. This application allows you to do following things: 1. Configure what messages will activate configuration wizard, will start sending reports and stop sending reports. 2. Set GPS report settings: send last cached GPS position? send fix position? [...] The application is still under heavy development, so interested developers and designers should get in touch.
Manoj Kumar has unveiled a very swish desktop widget for Maemo 4 (diablo) showing a snazzy "ticker"-based clock. Called Ring Clock, he says its a colorful clock applet for the desktop with date display. Different color for the hour, minute and seconds rings can be selected through the color panel, to match the desktop theme/background color scheme. The applet also acts as a power launch for the Osso clock alarm UI. Double clicking on the applet launches the alarm utility, which otherwise is accessible only through a round about route from the Control panel. A Maemo 5 version is, apparently, under development.
