EDIT: for some reason the pictures don't show up.

Testing the power button? Doesn't Nokia have stress stest machines for that?

Am I completely missing the point? Moar info!

Re: Mobile device + automated testing + Lego blocks =
 

May be there are some cryptic clues in that pic. Is that the n900? If yes can someone find out the screen size in comparison to the diameter of the coffee cup?

Here are the pictures, feel free to edit your post, Quim, to use this code:

I use Flickr for all my screenshots :)

EDIT: it isn't the N900, it is a TomTom

Re: Mobile device + automated testing + Lego blocks =
 

It's like this ... The "pool" in the Lego construct is actually the N900, and the little Lego man looking into it, a la Narcissus, is any one of us ... and that's how BIG the friggin' screen looks, like TEN TIMES AS BIG AS THE USER HIMSELF!

Lego is the perfect tool for enclosures, etc. We used lego for all sorts of purposes in Engineering school.

In all honesty, that must be one amazing job, uhmmm, to play with lego at work :]

What a real Scandanavian effort, these N900's are shaping up to be! I wouldn't be surprised to see an Ikea allen key included in lieu of a stylus now.

Qole: what code should I use? I only see the images. :)ç

Guys, you are too obsessed. Kees has nothing to do with Nokia, neither the toy he plays with in those pictures.

Also note this is the Off-Topic forum and the post is here just for fun.

Re: Mobile device + automated testing + Lego blocks =
 

I think alot of us are like loaded pistols nowadays with respect to anything possibly remotely related to new devices. :)

Re: Mobile device + automated testing + Lego blocks =
 

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh! :p

Re: Mobile device + automated testing + Lego blocks =
 

Yes, that's why the device has "TomTom" printed on it.

In related news, a visual manifestation of Ari Jaaksi appeared on my toast this morning.

Re: Mobile device + automated testing + Lego blocks =
 

There were articles a while back about a RIM engineer doing device testing with lego. Cool stuff.

Great minds think alike.

If you hit the "Quote and Reply" button, you can see the code that I used to display the Flickr pictures.

Basically, in Flickr, you go to "all sizes," choose the size you want, right click on the picture, and copy the image location. Then come to your post here, and hit the "image" button and paste the URL you grabbed.

The real fun part was when I asked my manager to pay for the parts used and he accepted. This was a dream come true "Getting payed to play".
