Maemo 5 video request
 

as a visual developer I have a desire to see a quick walkthrough of the released maemo 5 experience running at its expected speed.
I have been frustrated by technical problems and would just like to see how it should run.

anyone have one or fancy putting one up?

(doesn't have to be much, just a click around of the apps and dialogs we have so far)

ok, i have experienced my first glimpse of maemo 5 running at somewhat sane speeds.
using a vnc connection poked out from qwerty12's scratchbox I got to touch maemo5 itself and actually clicking on things makes stuff work!

Will you still post a video please? :)

Re: Maemo 5 video request
 

coldfusion :D ask qwerty12 to share out his vnc connection :p
he could make a killing here by charging people to experience a little bit of fremantle on their devices

in all seriousness, a proper video would be beneficial for all.

Gonna do a screencast of my desktop running the new Maemo 5 UI, should be ready in the next couple of hours :)

Here is the video :)

The application manager doesn’t work for me, and the Fremantle extras-devel repository doesn’t list the available packages trough the web, so I only showed in the video the apps that I know that are already in the repository.

vdvsx!!!
wow, thats MUCH more impressive than anything I've seen with it to date.
its fluid and slick and workable.

My impression is that things are too big and there's too much wasted space (but then consider that I reduce the text size of claws mail to half the default one to cram more things on the screen).

Looks nice. It does seem very fast at launching apps, but this is running on a powerful x86 desktop rather than an actual device so we shouldn't read too much into that, I guess.

luca, as far as I know, this thing is designed to be mostly used via fingers rather than stylus. I'm in too minds about this, as like you I like in some circumstances to have a lot of things on-screen. Maybe it there was a toggle between finger-friendly and stylus-friendly modes, that would help, although I can see that would be very awkward for app designers.

Given the problems lcuk and I have both had getting anything running at a decent speed (hell, even reliably), I'm putting money on it running better on the device than on developer's machines - unless either the developer or Nokia put a lot of effort into the SDK.
