Nokia "Pure" font packaged for Maemo

Nokia's new "Pure" font has been causing waves (both positive and negative) as they announced their new "brand image". Olli Laasonen has packaged it for Maemo and it's now available in Extras-testing. Nokia have posted a number of pictures on their blog, so you can get an idea of the font: This is the new typeface that’s been created for Nokia by the branding people. It’s called Nokia Pure and we like it a lot. The first picture, with the lower case ‘c’ and ‘e’ up close is worth particular attention – and comparison with Helvetica and the old Nokia Sans font. Not only does it look… well, pure and simple, but the letters flow into each other somewhat, creating the impression of forward movement. The idea of flow and movement appears frequently in the new branding. Your editor has installed it and used Font Changer (from Extras) to use it instead of Nokia Sans. It is wider and took some getting used to, however after a few days it does provide a refreshing feel. As the package is in Extras-testing, if you participate in the testing programme (or are willing to start by checking it against the QA criteria and voting appropriately), give it a try.


Tablet UX for MeeGo is now open source - no word on open development

Imad Sousou (of the MeeGo TSG) officially announced the open sourcing of the MeeGo Tablet UX. The tablet user experience project, developed mostly in QML, is still under active development and considered pre-alpha code. It introduces a panels-based home screen as the core user experience navigation model, providing users with fast access to applications, settings, recent and favorite content. The tablet user experience includes a traditional application icon-grid view for application management. It also includes several built-in applications as part of the user experience: a touch optimized browser, based on Chromium; a Camera, Photo Viewer, Video Player and Music Player to capture, view, play and share media files; Calendar, Contacts, Email, Tasks and Notes applications to manage your personal information; a Chat application that supports instant messaging on Jabber and Google Talk networks; and a Clock application, which includes alarms, timers and multiple time zone displays. The tablet user experience also includes APIs for sharing content to social networks and other Web targets, adding third-party content into the panels, and centralizing Settings for built-in and installed apps. No word so far on the development model to be employed, but the sources are now available on the MeeGo Gitorious.
