[UPDATED] Maemo: No Java and OpenGL ES support. Official.
UPDATE: Daniel Stone and Quim Gil further explained the status of the OpenGL ES and Java support in the comments to this post.
As they've pointed out, the title of my post is misleading in the sense that FOR NOW there is no support and no plan for it.
The "WONTFIX" part is, thus, temporary.
Daniel also went further and added a new comment to bug #1028
I will leave the original post below unedited.
-- ORIGINAL WRONG POST
This morning, during my usual e-mail check, I had a quick look at Maemo Bug Jar #9 and discovered this list of two bugs marked as RESOLVED: WONTFIX.
[This part is just plain wrong]
Thus, it's official: we won't get either Java and OpenGL ES support on the Nokia's Internet Tablets.
I was expecting it, but it's anyway sad to read that it's confirmed.

Xournal is skyrocketing...
Wow!!
Since I have released Xournal few days ago, a lot of people downloaded it and now Xournal is among the first 4 (yes, four!) most downloaded applications !
Thank you guys and thanks to Denis Auroux, the real developer of Xournal.
And thanks also for the great votes Xournal has got so far.
We're climbing fast :)
I was really surprised to see how many people downloaded Xournal, but really surprised to see that it was downloaded more than Canola or Maemo Mapper!
I would have never thought this was possible.
:) it's awesome!
UPDATE: We're second only to Pidgin...I can't believe it.

Xournal chosen as "Featured Downloads" on OS2008 User Site
Today I was thinking...that wow! After the cool video tutorial at Internet Tablet School, Xournal made a second strike and this time on the OS2008 User Site (the old "tableteer", reachable only from a Nokia Internet Tablet).
Indeed, the description is not correct. I am not the developer of Xournal, but there are four developers behind it and I am not among them.
I only did the port to the Maemo platform.
Moreover, they listed Xournal with the blue tag, i.e. as a "Nokia or commercial partners" application.
I am glad they consider me at the very same level of a big organization, but unfortunately I am not so big, yet :-p
Anyway, I am very happy that Xournal and its port to Maemo went so far.
Thanks.
UPDATE: The OS2008 User page has been updated with the link to the video tutorial :)
UPDATE2: The OS2008 User's Site N8x0 specific version is reachable also from a regular desktop at this address: Xournal Featured on Tableteer

Internet Tablet School made a tutorial for Xournal
Today I was thinking...that while waiting for me to finish the Xournal port, you guys should have something to do with the beta released so far :)
To help came the folks at Internet Tablet School who made a nice tutorial (Nokia N800 & N810: Take notes and doodle with Xournal) on some of the features you can find in Xournal (even though they missed the most important feature for me: Annotate PDF).
Simply jump here and take a look at it!

Mp3Tunes Locker for N810 coming
Today I was thinking...the mp3tunes applet on OS2007 was cool. So I went and installed it on my N810 with OS2008. It installed flawlessly, but it wouldn't show up when selected.
Looks like the applet is not compatible with the OS2008 new desktop.
So I looked around and my friend Google found this:
Auto-yncing with tunewath from Mp3Tunes
That's even better!
No need to be on-line to get your musinc with you.. just sync it (ahhh that magic word has never yet been used with an Internet Tablet) and off you go!
Can't wait for this app to be ready and usable on my Nokia N810.
This device gets everyday more interesting.

Xournal port and the usual story
Today I was thinking...that damn!
Weeks have passed away and I still need to repackage Xournal to properly make use of existing libraries.
I gave it a shot last week and I can say I am half way to finishing the re-packaging.
Unfortunately (and that's the "usual story" part) I have things to get done before the end of this week.
If I am lucky with the current code (at work), I will finish and have spare time towards the end of the week.
If not.. most probably we will see the finished Xournal port (not anymore labeled "beta") by the end of the next week.
I plan to get integrated some usefult suggestions that I have got from the ITT forum.
Moreover I will try to upload the port onto the Maemo extras repository.
Thanks for your patience!

Update on Xournal port development
Today I was thinking...that I should tell you guys that I am just too busy at work these days.
I should have a bunch of hours next week.
Things to do:
a) make it a real port. I should start from the debian sources (for ghostscript, xournal and imagemagick) and put the correctly made deb files to maemo extras-devel waiting to put them in extras.
b) fix the libart dependency (this follows almost automatically from (a) )
c) fix the icon placementes as noted in a post on the ITT forum and on a comment here on this blog
It shouldn't take too much, but I need at least an afternoon to make it.
Keep sending feedback on the port (particulary on improvements and on issues you may think are related to the port).
I have noticed that some requests should be made to the Xournal author
You should use the Xournal feedback channels to do that. I don't have the time to forward them and they are not looking at my port's pages.
So... see you next week.
UPDATE: next week has come and is almost gone already. I have been busy at work and busy preparing for two job interviews I am going thru these days. Wish me good luck about those and let's hope I will have some spare time this week end to fix the issues with Xournal.
Thanks for your understanding ! (as I am sure you all understand)

It arrived!
Today I was thinking...why the heck the UPS is taking so long.. when.. IT ARRIVED!!!
Yes! My shiny new Nokia N810 Internet Tablet finally landed in my hands!
I had the 770, the N800 and now the N810 and I must say that it's definitely an improvement over the predecessors.
The screen has been MUCH improved in sensitiveness and readability (under the sun of Naples).
I found myself (even in these few minutes I'm playing with it) using the fingers A LOT more than what I was used to with the N800.
I do really think it's a different touchscreen. Not as sensitive to the touch as the iPhone, but still a lot more than the N800's one.
I'll post some pictures later.
Time to enjoy it :)

Xournal for Maemo in Maemo Downlads
Today I was thinking...that I should tell you that I have put the Xournal port in the Maemo Downloads.
You can leave comments there as well as rate it.
Just search for Xournal in the OS2008 applications section of the Maemo Downloads web pages.

Xournal for Maemo 4.0 (OS2008) is here (beta)!
Today I was thinking...that I should release the Xournal version for OS2008 Beta before the week end :)
And here it is, although it's in beta. And I need people to test it.
So here we are:
Go to this link: Xournal install and you should be fine.
It will install two catalogues (extras-devel needed for libgail) and my own catalogue (with xournal and its dependencies).
I tried to open the .install file from my tablet, but it opens the file instead of interpreting it as a regular .install file. I still don't know why. Try to save it and open it from the file manager.
One note, a big one: I tried to open a PDF file (Annotate PDF) and it didn't work. I'm focusing on this issue as this is by far the most useful feature of Xournal.
So do not complain about this :) I know it already.
Let me know EVERYTHING you find about the package, from the application installation to the usability itself.
As soon as the application is stable I'll forward the patches upstream and I will try to make everything available on the garage website (and put the libraries in maemo extras).
So keep this in mind: this is a BETA software. Provided as it is and I, by no mean, take ANY responsibility on what happens to you, your device and whatever is surrounding you! ;-)
I want to thank Etrunko (Eduardo Lima), for his first patch to the Xournal source code to make it work on the Nokia 770, and Henry Tang for his patch to make Etrunko's Xournal work on the N800.
I've used their patches to make my port.
UPDATE: Xournal port is now at its third release. I have fixed the PDF annotation bug and added support for Zoom In/Out and Fullscreen buttons. I've tested it on my N800 with OS2008 Beta firmware, but it should work on the N810 too.
UPDATE2: Actually the port is already at its fourth release. I have added a few more buttons to the toolbar at the bottom and bound the Escape button to the Undo action.
I am still experiencing random crashes and have no idea how to check this out. The console does not show any error or warning. So, actually, I think it closes itself rather than crashing.
UPDATE3: I have fixed the random crashes!! For the developers: you need to be sure that the D-BUS service Name clause has the same value as the osso_initialize first parameter! Or the application will close after few seconds.
Release #5 is in the repo, go update it!

Xournal for Maemo 4.0 (OS2008) almost there!
Today I was thinking...that Xournal was a great application when it was available in OS2006 (thanks to Etrunko's work to port it).
So ... why not try to port it to OS2008 (chinook) too ?
So I've been struggling for the whole afternoon with dependencies and recompilations on my scratchbox installation and well... I am very happy!!!
Xournal (0.4.1) works in my Scratchbox!!!
I "just" have to change target to ARMEL and try it on my tablet.
Unfortunately my girl is coming to pick me up and go home, so I will have to make the deb packages tomorrow.

OS2008 on the N800 ahead of time
Today I was thinking...why wait December to check out the OS2008 ?
;-)
It looks WONDERFUL.
Oh, by the way, I was accepted for the N810 developer device program too!!!
