[Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

Hi everyone, im writing this in praise of an app thats in the ovi store and how if nokia actually put their mind to it can come up with some major support for the n900.im talkinjg about gas balls and what a really good app it is. im enjoying it alot.(dont know who develeped it but im guessing nokia, but i could be wrong).
1 app since i bought my baby in February is indeed bad support of the n900, thank god for all the support from the guys in this community, if it wasnt for them the n900 would be dead in the water.

Thank you Maemo Community.....And SCREW you nokia for abandoning the N900...We dont need you anyway.

Peace.:D:):p:cool:

ok, gas balls is fun how? and serves what purpose on a device like the N900? Im much more impressed with Live Wallpaper from the community. Right now, Ovi for Maemo is a giant turd.

Re: If nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

Nokia abandoned the N900?
Okay, that's new for me...

Re: If nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

I guess this is why some other nameless platforms are as popular as they are. Many thousands of eye-candy applications that serve no actual functional purpose other than being eye-candy. Given how quickly the thread for this application grew in a matter of days, I can only conclude that this is what -the masses- actually want. Go figure.

Sigh, another rambling 'bash nokia' thread is it?

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

what a load of crap gas balls is!

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

By very much the same token I was VERY dissappointed in the Gas Balls app. Downloaded it, expecting it to either be a kinetic desktop experience or alternatively a great fun accelerometer / touch controlled app - which, to a lesser exent, it is. I really like the way that you can have it as a transparent overlay on your current desktop........

BUT........

Why doesn't it go fullscreen when applied to your desktop? What kind of half arsed application fu**ery is this? You mean I can have gas balls on my desktop BUT only in a frame around the edges, and even the frame isn't equal in size, and bang goes any kind of touch control over the balls in this environment?

Poor show <<Ovi Store Application Quality Selection Process>>, poor show indeed.....

Update needed. At least we know that if the app came from this community then an update would get done and we would have fullscreen gas balls within a matter of days.

Instead we are now stuck with the possibility, however faint, that an update *might* happen sometime in the future, maybe, if a Nokia dev ever fancies getting into the code and pulling his / her finger out of their **se and stop drinking tea with the other monkies at the tea party.

Xploder still has no level retry support nor sound - and this is available for download in Ovi - I mean, WTF? Where is the Quality Screening process? Do these people have a Quality Management System or do they have a company turdbowl that they refer to to select apps?

Lol...

You: "Y'know Nokia, you're not bad if you put the effort..."
Nokia: "Awww, we'd-"
You: "<cuts> but the community....blah, blah.....and you give no support."
Nokia: "waittamin-"
You: "Meep! <pauses> F U Nokia!! We don't need you!!!"
Nokia: "?!?!"

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

i dont think you actually understand what im trying to say here....

What i meant is that if nokia actually put their mind to it, they could of made this the no1 product in the world, but instead opted for abandoning maemo(which by the way beats any os out there right now, IMHO)so they can go with meego.i dont think i can go with any other os that is out there after using maemo.there is so much that it can do, specially if you think that the n900 is only running on 600mhz, when almost all other smartphones are running at 1ghz.ive used android and the iphone os and they both suck IMHO they dont even come close to what maemo can do.its such a shame to think that at some point maemo will be nomore.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

What we are trying to say is that if nokia really put their mind to it, we'd have stuff that n900 users really need. Like OVI maps that was free , turn by turn or an ovi store that wasnt a piece of crap, filled with crap.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

Thank you, thats almost what im trying to say.You got most of it.:D

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

yes,but gas balls still blows.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

For me, Nokia does not need to be defended on a public forum against people who have a fisheye view of the world.
I vote with my money. My last 2 phones / tablets were Nokia.
My future phones will be Nokia and/or Meego.

I admit that I'm tempted by Android, but the most I'll do is get one for my wife.

Edit: Oh and gas balls rock. Thats the 2nd most used fun app I have - after Angry Birds.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

its not as bad as some of the other stuf thats on ovi for the n900 though.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

can you imagine going to an exspensive restaurant and ordeing the best meal they have and then being told that you have cook the food yourself and then wash the dishes before you leave?
i think thats wat nokia did. they released an exspensive product and basically said, its up to you to create the most basic apps(like seperate ringtones or groups in contacts or ovi maps or 3g video calling or even portrait desktop) for this product cos we are going with a completely diff os. i actually think the guys in this community should get paid for the effort they put into this product, not only by us the users but by nokia mainly cos they are doing nokia work for them.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

lol...i like dude....:D:cool:

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

Angry Birds and gas balls arent even close in the fun category.

Angry Birds = awesome BJ
gas balls= kicked in the nuts

Re: If nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

what purpose does live wallpaper serve that gas ball doesnt?
both are eye-candy that suck your battery dry in no time.

Re: If nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

i didnt say that it was my particular cup of tea. But i did say that i was more impressed with it than gas balls. I installed live wallpaper and then uninstalled it. It doesnt serve a purpose to me at all.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

Have you used Linux other than on this phone? Did you buy the hardware for running that Linux?
Would you have gone whining to Linus Torvalds because OpenOffice isn't working for you?
And since you're talking money, how about you start paying us then?

That makes many people sado-masochists: We love getting BJs while being kicked in the nuts. ;)

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

I just came in to say... "gas balls"

I don't get too many chances in life to say that combo.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

of course we are sado-masochists, we all bought and still love our n900's right?? how much more of a bj/nut shot combo can ya get?

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

can you please tell me the differences between maemo and MeeGo except of the name which are making MeeGo so much lesser worth than maemo?
In fact the first MeeGo device from Nokia will use a renamed maemo 6. That means Harmattan MeeGo.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

As opposed to the dick bling that is the iPhone? You think it makes you look good, but its just making you impotent? :p

This thread is getting kinkier by the minute.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

in your opinion whats is more attractive? The Harmattan Meego instance or whatever Meego project Intel is cooking up?

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

i'm seek of these kind of apps my friens (who has iphone 3gs) shows me evertime he visits. but what would disappoint me is someday my other friend comes to me and shows off his N900 with eye candy apps like gas ball. off curse this small entertaining apps have goos graphics but it never shows the capabilities of N900.
for me mypaint, ansel-a, knots, vnc and so many usefull apps are the killer apps that shows what a device is this. maybe nokia doesn't putt much effort making apps but implementing qt in n900 was a big step from them so in the future when devices with qt support come out and developers start to create qt apps and games, n900 owners still have something to play with.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

there is no difference since both are able to run Qt (MeeGo) applications and that is what counts in my opinion.
maemo is also be able to run these applications.

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

Gas balls is a pretty cool apps...i see it as one of my favorite apps since i bought this device. I don't think i like Live Wallpaper...i try it...doesn't work right...suck big time!!

Re: [Maemo 5] If Nokia ACTUALLY put their mind to it.(gas balls)
 

I am giving a thumbs-up to gas balls...except that it kills my battery quickly. Totally useless, but cool stuff nonetheless.
