OK Nokia WTF??
 

Why send me an email.

Get a new perspective on the world with the Nokia Point & Find augmented reality browser for Nokia devices. Point your device's camera at landmarks and get descriptions, reviews and more. Tag your favourite landmarks to share with friends. Available free at Ovi Store.

With a big Green button that says Download Nokia Point and Find.

Click on the link and guess what??
Sorry, this item is not available for the Nokia N900.

>FAIL<

Not only is it not developed to work on the N900 (it's Symbian only), but it could never work anyway. As a remarkable bit of short sightedness, the designers didn't include a digital compass on the n900. So augmented reality applications like this will never work on the n900 even if it was redeveloped for Maemo5.

Yeah well why send me am email to tell me about it with a download button is my point.
They clearly know I have an N900 if as soon as I get the page it says Sorry you can't use it.

Re: OK Nokia WTF??
 

Your MyNokia or Ovi account has some other device besides the N900 selected as your main device. This is why they send you messages you can't really benefit from.

Really it works great on my phone? Oh wait, I don't have a n900 :cool:

Re: OK Nokia WTF??
 

I got the EMail also and I have only a N900 registered at ovi.

I guess there are many people working at Nokia since the good old times they made only the Nokia rubber boot's. Without any kind of technical knowledge! (not only the gumboots)

Sounds like Google goggles on the android phones

Re: OK Nokia WTF??
 

I got it too and besides the n900 all i have registered ever on ovi is a nokia 5000 and N95 8GB... which none have compasss
its probably to get us mad enough we dont have this compass that we go buy a new nokia phone :))

Re: OK Nokia WTF??
 

AR doesn't *need* a compass. GPS can get a general heading, which can be tracked with accelerometers (IIRC the N900 has two?). Alternatively, you can just do a fuzzy match of the camera input...

I figure they were just trying to rub it in that we still don't have a decent OVI store with cool apps even after PR1.2
