I am pleased to announce the "official" release of xword for the Nokia Internet Tablet.



Go to the Official Home Page

The program was unofficially released in another thread, but I was waiting until I got everything settled at the maemo garage page before I made an official announcement.

Please see the home page for more information and to download the .deb.

UPDATE (Apr 30, 2008): Brad has made some nice improvements and updated the program to v1.0.6. (May require Red Pill Mode to upgrade the .deb.)

UPDATE (May 21, 2008): In addition to a few new features, xword 1.0.7-1 is now available from the maemo extras repository. You may need to enable Red Pill mode to upgrade from a previous version.

UPDATE (June 2, 2008): New version 1.0.8. Added some new functionality and reorganized the menus. Good news for rotated screen users!

UPDATE (July 19, 2008): New version 1.0.9-1. Minor functionality additions. Also now available for diablo (as well as the older OSes).

Wow. Such a massive and brilliant difference from that svn build before you modded it

Thanks

Very Cool, Thanks. Hopefully I'll have time to install & test it out tonight.

Alright! I figured out the basics for using osso, so the next version (in subversion now) has integration with the file manager, as well as a bit friendlier popups.

For me, it doesn't seem that slow. I run it on a 770 and it's comparable to everything else I run on there. The feedback isn't instant, but its usually much less than a second before the letter you type shows up.

you won't be setting any "solving time" records, due to the input lag... but it's not unbearable.

i agree...speed is fine. could depend on other factors on each individual system?

Sounds like you will have to do the manual installation steps as listed on the xword homepage. Make sure that the "maemo extras" repository is not disabled in Application Manager. Let the Application Manager refresh, then quit Application Manager. DOWNLOAD the xword-1.0.5.all.deb to the user's home directory. Then run the following commands in xterm:
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install python2.5 python2.5-gtk2
dpkg -i /home/user/xword-1.0.5.all.deb
Then you will be able to see if there is something preventing the installation.
