PR1.1 software update stiže danas.


Today sees the release of the first major update for the Nokia N900. Following quickly on the heels of the minor release earlier this week, this latest version of the software brings with it a range of improvements across the device. Read on to find out what’s in store.

First up is support for the Swiss keymat variant with hardware and virtual keyboard layouts supporting the combination of German, Italian and English characters. We’ll also see full compatibility with certain SIM cards from network operator 3. Although only a small number of SIM cards were impacted at the time, this release means the N900 is now fully compatible with 3 SIM cards.
Mail for Exchange also sees an update which will it allow it to work with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. This should bring the possibility of Exchange integration to a much broader group of users.
Ovi Maps also gets the update treatment, with improvements made to search performance and route calculation. Beyond these major changes come a range of smaller usability improvements which have been worked into the release and are based on the excellent user feedback the team have received (keep it coming).
Earlier in the week a minor update was released which brought two key changes. First was compatibility with Ovi Store Beta so users can now download and install software directly to the device from the store. The second prepared the device’s application manager for over the air software updates. Any users who have installed the first update will automatically receive a notification that a new update is available for their device. Users who prefer not to update directly over the air will also have the option to install the update using Nokia Software Updater on their PC. Anyone updating using their PC will be able to upgrade directly from the original to the latest version – without the need to install the intermediate update released during the week.

How to Get Google Maps on your Nokia N900



Yeah, the N900’s native browser is badass enough to actually load the real Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Maps front page, but it take forever to load and isn’t what you’d call “mobile friendly”. Luckily, YoDude from HowardForums has put together a nice little solution that will definitely do the trick.

   1. Download and install Oleg Romashin’s Geolocation extension. This will let the Maemo browser talk with the N900’s integrated GPS.
   2. Download and unzip Gmaps.htm and zoom.htm from YoDude’s compilation to somewhere on the N900.
   3. Navigate to to Gmaps.htm using the N900’s file manager, and bookmark it or put a shortcut on the homescreen as you see fit.

Blammo. It’s a bit complicated, and there’s no panning, but it’ll certainly do the trick until we get a more elegant solution similar to other smartphone platforms.

Video: How to: Uploading Photos and Videos to Twitter and YouTube directly from N900’s Gallery and Camera App




I’ve only started using Ovi Share on the N900 and I was surprised by how flawlessly it worked – find/take a picture/video, share, done. Maybe edit title/description tags along the way. Otherwise, it’s online in a few clicks.

I wanted something like that for Twitter, as at the moment, it’s a little difficult to send a picture through the browser as you have to go through file browsers and scroll through files etc.




Some plug-ins became available at the Ovi Store that allows N900
users to directly upload media to selected locations (e.g. YFrog/YouTube) and then post to Twitter. After setup, you can simply upload photos and videos either from gallery view or straight after capturing that photo/video.


Instructions

1. Download and install which ever upload service plugin you wish to use.

2. Once installed, click the share icon in either gallery or camera app.

3. Click “Share Via Service”



4. If you’re new to “Share via service” you will need to add a new account. On the left are accounts I’ve already added. Click “New”.



5. You’ll get a selection of upload services that are installed. Scroll that list for more as only 3 are visible at a time.



6. You’ll need to set up and validate that account.



You’ll need a Pixelpipe account first. You can make registration simpler by signing in either with your Ovi Share or Twitter account.



Follow whatever instructions is provided with Pixelpipe, and then go back to gallery and authorise.

After that, future uploads are as simple as finding the photo/video>Share (icon)>Share with services>Share.



You’ll get a green share icon in the status bar, and opening the status bar gives notification of “Sharing” until that media has finished uploading (see video)

Photos that I upload via YFrog also get sent as my tweets along with the title as my comment.



Same thing goes for videos. Alternatively, you can upload via YouTube (see video). Below is a sample clip uploaded from the N900.
