Re: New Open Sourced Qtopia on Nokia Internet Tablets?
 

Certainly, here is the list: -
Portabase http://portabase.sourceforge.net/ has already been mentioned in the forums

StageOne (search Handango) http://www.handango.com/

Zaurus Unit Converter (search Handango)

TheKompany http://www.thekompany.com/embedded/
tkcExpense; tkcCard; tkcShopper; tkcToDo; tkcExplorer; tkcMail;

Textmaker http://www.softmaker.com/english/ofl_en.htm

TuxCards http://www.tuxcards.de/screenshoots.html

I am sure some of the other Zaurus owners here would be able to add to the list if it was felt to be useful.

Of course certain apps for the N800 such as UKMP, Quiver, both Browsers, are superior to any comparable Zaurus equivalent.

Re: New Open Sourced Qtopia on Nokia Internet Tablets?
 

These two apps were by far the ones I used every day when I had a zaurus. Both are extremely useful, although I don't think there has been any development on any platform for both pgms for a couple of years now.

At one point I had contacted Softmaker to see if there was enough interest in porting Textmaker to the N800 and they didn't hesitate to spit out an email with a big "NO". It's too bad. I would be very happy to pay 49 bucks for that program (what I paid for the zaurus version). It was quite full-featured.

I conctacted the author of StageOne but he is too busy to contemplate another project.

tkc did port an app for the N770 but found the exercise to be more trouble than it was worth. Also they do not see much of a future for the N800.

Re: New Open Sourced Qtopia on Nokia Internet Tablets?
 

wellenreiter is a nice wifi sniffer that's opie & qt based, I miss that now I'm running GPE (Angstrom on Zaurus).
netfront is a nice light-weight web browser.
there have been quite a few nice qt based games too.

Re: New Open Sourced Qtopia on Nokia Internet Tablets?
 

As a long-time Zaurus user, I really like the huge application base, but I find
two programs indespensible: the PIM suite kdepimpi (also known as KO/PI) and
the password manager
zsafe.

KDEPIMPI builds with Qt, while zsafe requires Qtopia.

I have already built Qt 4.3.3 within Scratchbox, and have begun to start looking
a recompiling kdepimpi and zsafe. This process makes me very aware that I am not
a very good software developer...while I it is just possible that I will be able
to get the programs to recompile, I strongly doubt that I'll ever get to truely
porting them to use the Hildon environment.

I'd be extremely grateful for any help or suggestions that you can offer about porting Qt/Qtopia apps to the Nokia.

Thanks!

Re: New Open Sourced Qtopia on Nokia Internet Tablets?
 

once the hard work has been done to make qtopia run in a hildonised wrapper, it should be relatively straight-forward to port an application from qt-embedded-2.3.2/qtopia-1.5 IF you have the source code so can rebuild - the hard part is doing the "hildonisation" of qtopia (at least, not having tried either, that's my guess)!

Re: New Open Sourced Qtopia on Nokia Internet Tablets?
 

As a Zaurus user now using the N810 - I do miss the KDE PIM suite opn the Zaurus - Kopi /Kapi in particular. The GPE PIM suite is far sub-standard compared to KoPi (Calendar) and Kapi (Contacts).

Another useful app to have is the password manager (Pwm/Pi). I am suing the password safe for the OS2008, and while that is good, is not as easy and useful as the Zaurus equivanlent.

Of the closed source apps from the Zaurus world, - I will certainly back (and buy) the Textmaker and the spreadsheet (hancomsheet) equivalent if they do develop one for the Nokia IT also. The TKC apps were also pretty - some of them useful too - like tkcFTP for me.

Another thing I miss is a good RSS reader for the Nokia. While the inbuilt one is not too featured, I guiess I can wait for Canola to maybe fill in the gap in this regards. But Corsair from the Zaurus world was a good RSS app - with podcast support too.

In the media world - photo viewer and Audip player - the Nokia softwares excel - like Kagu, the image viewer, Quiver and of course waiting for Canola.

I wouldnt want to replace the N810 browser with Netfront though. While Netfront was good for its time, there hasnt been much changes to it since then. The Nokia inbuilt browser is certainly far better.

As a last request - the TreeExplorerQT on the Zaurus was a very advanced File manager - which would be good to have on the Nokia also.

So much for the Zaurus to Nokia requests from me.

It is good to see so many Zaurus users here. Maybe we can get a collective momentum going, there really is a wealth of Zaurus apps available which would be very suited to the N8*0.

This thread is running in tandem with

and I am starting to get a bit dizzy

Re: New Open Sourced Qtopia on Nokia Internet Tablets?
 

Yes, I was quite pleaseantly suprised myself whan I saw you Rebski, Lardman, Richk, fpp, and then speculatrix on these forums. How can I forget these screen names from the Zaurus forums - you guys were one heck of a gang out there and thanks for all the help from you all :cool:

Nice to 'see' familiar faces again, and nice to get to know the 'Nokia IT' guys here - I hope we can all share a wealth of information and apps between these 2 great handheld platforms.

Re: New Open Sourced Qtopia on Nokia Internet Tablets?
 

BTW - if you guys have a suggestion for something fun to do with a C760 that's gathering dust, I'm all ears ! :-)
