OS2008 SIP support for Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series?
All, while doing some product research on the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series PBX system I discovered that the product has been designed to also support the dual mode (wifi/GSM) Nokia handsets. The 500 series can be optionally configured with an 802.11g interface. Do any of the Nokia participants on this list know whether or not the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series will also work with the SIP client that is contained in OS2008? Here for those interested is the url to the www page at the Cisco www site for the document that asserts support for the Nokia dual mode handsets: http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/ps7293/c1037/cdccont_0900aecd806a8a1e.pdf -- Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks, LLC <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: OS2008 on n800 - Nice Job
Mike, I expect that Nokia has filed lots of patents regarding its battery and power management intellectual property. Software engineers by and large tend to take the availability of electrons for granted but those electrons have to come from somewhere in order to get the software "work" done. When I speak to others about the Internet Tablet product family I always make a point to mention the power conserving knowhow that has gone into the design, even before this last round of improvements. My Windows Mobile handset is not really as useful as it could be as a PDA because the battery life is so short (~30 minutes) or so when I attempt to use it for email or for accessing the www. What I really would like to have from Verizon Wireless (or another mobile service provider) is a device with the following characteristics: * Function:EVDO modem with bluetooth for tethering to the N800 * Battery Capacity: 10-12 hours of continuous use (i.e. where the modem is turned on and "dialed in" to the Verizon Wireless EVDO network) between recharging. * Form Factor: fits in a shirt/coat pocket or belt clip holster * Weight: 10 oz or less (this is the weight of the UTStarcom XV6700) Now that Verizon Wireless has taken the defensive measure of following Google's lead in agreeing to "open" its mobile network to non-Verizon Wireless supplied devices that "meet spec", I could foresee a company developing such a product. Such a product could be a good way for Nokia, for example, to get a share of the mobile device market from the CDMA based mobile providers in the U.S., (Sprint, Verizon Wireless, and Alltell) prior to the evolution to of those service providers to LTE. I am hopeful that as WIMAX gets deployed in the U.S. in the 2.4 ghz band and, perhaps, eventually in the 700 mhz band, it will be more device friendly in terms of battery power consumption than EVDO and HSDPA.

Re: Nokia_Siemens_Networks_launches_pocket-sized_VoIP
Fred/Ryan, I think that the reason for incorporating the SIM this solution that it contains a credential (lets call it a billable entity) that can be used by the mobile operator to authenticate the user and direct the VOIP call to that service provider's SIP service. That way, said operator can charge the user for whatever service is provided.

It turns out that if I use the IP address instead of the netbios hostname that the Rdesktop client DOES work on the N800. It is kind of interesting to see the Windows Media Center application running on the N800 screen. I can even use the N800 to manage the TV programming guide/selection. However, The Media Center application is "smart" enough to realize that it is connecting to a RDP display and so video playback is suppressed.

Re: N810 is here
All, kidding aside, I have to say that, as I would expect from Nokia, if the product ,once launched, "meets or exceeds spec", then Nokia has indeed proven itself as a "fast learning organization" with this product by a) adding some key functional capabilities that those on this list have "vocalized" during the last two years and b) "turning" a significantly updated (faster and better, if not cheaper) hardware platform in less than 12 months. It would be nice to know how much longer before the WIMAX version of the product is released. But, hey, maybe the Intel WIMAX chipset is there in the 810 and is simply awaiting a future firmware upgrade. On the other hand, because WIMAX is still somewhat "early days" and, therefore, balkanized in its deployment around the world, Nokia may be planning to launch a distinct version for the (increasing number of) markets that are deploying WIMAX services.

Re: [maemo] ??
Gary, if you are running your own mail server you may want to consider a public spam filtering service, of which there are several available. I don't use one myself because my mail service provider actually does a great job, and has for years, of filtering out spam and malware infected email. Microsoft recently joined the bandwagon with respect to mail filtering services by launching its own hosted service to provide spam filtering. As far as I know, the customer's mail server does not have to be running Microsoft Exchange in order to use this service. Here is the url to the www page that explains Microsoft's service which they offer under the name of "Exchange Hosted Services": http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/services/filtering.mspx here is the url the www page for a 30 day trial: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/services/trial.mspx here is the url to the www page with the pricing ($1.75/month per month (per destination email address, I assume, and with a minimum of 5 addresses)) http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/services/buy.mspx and here is a url to the datasheet for the filtering service http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/2/c/62ca449f-8516-4d43-ac9d-e1f85eae0122/EHS_DataSheet_Filtering_FINAL.doc In the data sheet the following claims are made with respect to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for this service" Microsoft Exchange Hosted Filtering provides comprehensive Service Level Agreements (SLAs) backing network performance and spam and virus filtering effectiveness. The SLAs include: Filtering Network Infrastructure • Service availability: 99.999% service uptime • Email Delivery: Email delivered in seconds, with a commitment to delivery in less than two minutes Filtering Accuracy • Virus Blocking: 100% protection against all known viruses • Spam Capture: Capture of at least 95% of all spam messages • False Positive Ratio: Fewer than 1 in 250,000 messages incorrectly marked as spam Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks, LLC *Serving the SmartDigital^TM home, entrepreneurial enterprise, and emerging network service provider markets* * * Gary Baribault wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > Could le mailing list administrator add 'maemo' in square braces at the > beginning of the subject for the list please, or something else simmilar? > > I get a ton of spam in a day with all kinds of stupid stuff in the > subject line..

N800 Advertised by Brightpoint in Wireless Week
All, fyi. The October 1, 2007 issue of Wireless Week has a full page advertisement by Brightpoint that includes the Nseries from Nokia and highlights the N95 and the N800. What is interesting here is that Brightpoint, for those who are not aware, is at the core of the corporate "middleware" of mobile phone distribution in the U.S. Most of the manufactures, Nokia included, deal with Brightpoint, who in turn, deals with the mobile service providers. I don't know precisely what share Brightpoint has in the market for handset U.S. distribution but I know it is large.

My understanding is that Microsoft eventually removed the DUN software components from a later version of the WM5 build so that, for example, CD's from the operators with the WM5 object code no longer had the DUN .exe (or perhaps it was a .dll). In any case I suspect that an enterprising user could, if they so chose, find the necessary WM5 DUN components on the www and install them to get DUN working in WM5 by first googling "dun wm5". and proceeding from there. I know that Bluetooth DUN works on WM5, or, at least on the build version that I have (OS 5.1.195 - (Build14928.2.2.0)), because I use WM5 DUN + the N800 whenever I am "on the road" for business. I have also used USB DUN between my WM5 device and a Windows 2000 Laptop successfully.

Re: Someone has tried Devicescape?
David, it looks like this is an alternative to the IPass service which itself started out in the days of dial-up service aggregation and which allowed, for example, international travelers (aka road warriors) to connect to different dial-up IP networks that were part of the IPass "federation". Ipass has itself evolved to now incorporate WIFI hotspot aggregation as well. Here is the url to the Ipass www site: http://www.ipass.com/ Ipass also requires a client to be installed on the mobile device. Ipass has clients for Windows XP/Vista and for Windows Mobile but not for Linux devices. Ipass is widely used by corporate users that have the increasingly common requirement for mobile access to their enterprise network. One nice feature of Ipass is that the user has only one credential (e.g. ID/PW) that can be used on any network that is part of the Ipass "federation".

Re: 4.2007.38-2 available
Nick, I share your pain and I wholeheartedly agree. The product will not find traction in the business market (if that is a market in which Nokia has interest for this product) unless this problem is fixed. Also it would be helpful if Nokia would clearly specify ALL of the changes in this release. Is there any reason not to?

Re: Windows Mobile Phone detected as a PDA - can't set as Phone
Ivan, your question led me to submit a query to Google which came up with the an explanation available at the www page whose url is http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/04/17/why-did-we-remove-bluetooth-dun.aspx from a member of the Microsoft Windows Mobile team blog that explains why Microsoft removed Bluetooth DUN from the AKU3 version of Windows Mobile 5 . Note in the article that Microsoft DOES still ship the Bluetooth DUN to the OEM's and they CAN if they so choose make it available on the handset. Note also that, given the amount of negative feedback that Microsoft has gotten about the removal of Bluetooth DUN, that, they are going to put it back in in a future release of Windows Mobile 6. Here is the text of the blog post where that decision is indicated (highlighted in boldface type by me): > Actually, Microsoft did not remove Bluetooth DUN completely. We > still ship this technology to our OEMs. It is included in an > optional package that OEMs and operators can decide to ship on a > per device basis.

I suspect that Microsoft was also getting pressure from some carriers, who do not want to have their mobile handsets being used as layer 1 devices (modems). In my own case the CD that shipped from Verizon Wireless with my Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone (an XV6700) does have the wmodem.exe app on it. It so happens that the handset, as shipped to me had the application installed but hidden. I am currently running with an OS version that has the AKU2 feature set. There may be a similar workaround for getting Bluetooth DUN to work on your particular Windows Mobile 5 handset but to get you started here is the url to a www page (one of many) that has an "how-to" thread on the subject for the XV6700. http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=827559 In case you have difficulty figuring out which AKU is running on your handset, here is the url to an article at the msmobiles.com www site that may be helpful: http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5857.html And here is the url to an article that maps the AKU# to the OS version number ranges for that particular AKU#. http://modernnomads.info/wiki/index.php?page=OS+Versions Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks Ivan N.

Re: [Fwd: Re: Fwd: Skype on N800]
Denis, thanks for sharing the post re Skype. I have to believe that eBay management will be concerned enough about protecting the "reputational equity" that they have built over the years with their core business, auction services by either a) fixing the Skype software or at least b) explaining what the software is doing even if this turns out to be an innocuous artifact of the way Skype works and not some sinister plot for global domination by ebay or anyone else. Then too "security through obscurity" is not a very strong security model, so perhaps ebay will eventually find a way to open up its source code and find some other way to protect its intellectual property in the Skype service for which it paid a tidy sum. One way to keep Skype and its firewall evading ways off of the enterprise Microsoft desktop is to use a software restriction policy (hash rule) built into the Microsoft Windows Active Directory/Group Policy Architecture.

Re: Latest Release of UKMP does not Install Correctly
Marius, I used the version of UKMP that was available yesterday on the www page whose url is http://maemo.org/downloads/product/ukmp/ using the "click to install" feature on that www page. I am using the latest released version of the Internet Tablet OS for the N800. I just went to the above www page and noticed that the version number seems to have been modified from yesterday. It now reads 1.621. So I went ahead and tried the "click to install" and this time it worked! Interestingly, the message that came up while it was installing specified that it was installing version 1.61 not 1.621. Furthermore when I navigate to the "Installed Apps" section of the N800 Application Manager and click on the mediacenter application to check the version number, it tells me that I have version 1.61 installed, not 1.621.

Re: Sprint's N800 with WiMAX
Mike, here are some comments and observations about Verizon Wireless EVDO usage policy and its (and ATT's) new Mobile TV service which provides an alternate means for delivering broadcast (but not on demand) network content to a mobile device. 1.I don't think that Verizon, at least, is filtering its EVDO packet traffic explicitly based on the protocol or TCP/UDP port #. Verizon Wireless has settled on an Acceptable Use Policy for its EVDO broadband service that imposes a 5gb/month threshold limit, above which the contract is deemed eligible for cancellation/termination by Verizon Wireless. In my opinion, it would be better for Verizon Wireless to impose a surcharge for such excess usage than to cancel the users contract. 2. Here is the url to a www page at the EVDO info www site that refers to that limit imposed by Verizon Wireless and provides a table of how much "content", on average, a user could receive and still remain within that 5gb monthly envelope. http://www.evdoinfo.com/content/view/846/63/ VOIP, for example, is a relatively narrowband application so, unless you were using VOIP all day/all the time via, say Skype or some other service, you would not be likely to hit the aforementioned 5 gb limit because of that application alone, or, for that matter, streaming audio either. Video is the "killer app" in this case which, if used will "kill" the user's service contract with Verizon Wireless. 3. The setting of a monthly usage cap is probably the least-costly way for Verizon Wireless to police usage since they can, if they so choose, only perform the usage check at the end of the month, which is a lot easier for them to implement than a real-time packet by packet rate limit check. 4. Earlier this year I attended an event sponsored by the (US) Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee on the future of the Internet. This event was attended by all of the major interested parties (wireless and wired telcos, Google, Microsoft, etc.) and I spoke to one of the Verizon Wireless marketing execs about their EVDO broadband service, and their usage limitation policy. He followed the "party line" in responding to the effect that Verizon Wireless imposes the 5gb rule to "assure the quality of their overall EVDO service". 5. More recently I met an individual at Google in the Washington D.C. area who is part of the recently formed Google lobbying organization. This is the group that made the case to the FCC (with partial success) to make sure that the upcoming auction in the us of the upper 700 mhz band allows open access. I briefly demoed the N800 tethered via Bluetooth to a handset that was on-net with the Verizon EVDO service. 5. Verizon Wireless as well as ATT is launching a live (QVGA quality) broadcast video service using 700mhz channel acquired by Qualcomm. Qualcomm converted the channel to digital using a patented (its Qualcomm of course) OFDM derivative technology marketed by Qualcomm as MediaFlo^1,2,3,4,5 Mediaflow capable handsets^6 (Samsung SCH-u620 and the LG VX9400) are already on the market and Verizon has started rolling this service out in selected markets in the U.S. under the service name VCAST Mobile TV^7 . Verizon Wireless, and now ATT thus each have a built incentive to limit the range of capabilities of their broadband data service (EVDO in the case of Verizon wireless and HSDPA in the case of ATT) when it comes to video so that users will have an incentive to instead purchase the Mobile TV service. Of course with Mediaflo, the user is limited to the channels (8 currently but with capacity for up to 20 channels) and content that is being broadcast by the networks at each point in time and, as far as I know, there is not yet any DVR capability in the aforementioned handsets for time-shifting content playback. It remains to be seen whether or not mobile TV service will be successful in the U.S. or elsewhere (I think it will be) and which technology, Mediaflo or DVB-H (backed by the EU) will win out. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaFLO 2. http://www.qualcomm.com/mediaflo/index.shtml 3. http://www.qualcomm.com/mediaflo/news/pdf/network_diagram.pdf 4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility 5. http://www.wirelessweek.com/article.aspx?id=136850 6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi53R2CDIgg 7. http://products.vzw.com/index.aspx?id=mobileTV#grid Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks Mike Klein wrote: > For use other than simple voice (gsm, 3g) a cellular chip would present > some REAL political obstacles in US of course. > > Most US carriers (except Sprint) terms of servi
Re: Sprint's N800 with WiMAX
Gary, I believe it was discussed previously and I myself have had off list discussions as well as conversations with Sprint folk about this and about WIMAX generally. I have a kind of personal interest in the outcome of this since I was one of the so-called "founding executives" from one of the 4 companies that were brought together to form Sprint in 1986. We always got it/had it right when it came to data and data networking and we were years ahead of all of our competitors in both data products and services. Today's Washington Post1 also has an article about Sprint's current predicament in terms of market share loss and how they are positioning their WIMAX deployment, jointly with Clearwire, as a way to reverse their current downward trend in market share. 1. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/07/AR2007080701927.html?hpid=sec-tech Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks Gary wrote: > The article below mentions discussion of Sprint's WiMAX N800 "on the > Maemo mailing list and other places" but I've not seen it here on > 'users.'

Re: mozilla browser
Dan, thanks for the heads up! I have already fired it up on my N800 and I immediately noticed one nice "feature" that the factory installed browser from Nokia does not seem to have. When accessing the N800 browser via VNC client (TightVNC) and x11vnc, the mouse movements actually get mapped from the TightVNC image to the N800. This work effort looks to me like a classic case of "underpromise/overdeliver". Congratulations to everyone who made this possible!

Red Pill Mode and Package updates
All, while viewing the installed apps in "red-pill" mode on the N800 with the latest version of the OS installed, I noticed that there are several updates available including those for apps (or should I call them packages?) called magic:sys, libbluetooth2, and several others. However, when I switch back to blue pill mode these updates disappear from view and the app manager indicates that there are not updates to install. This gives rise to several questions: 1. If these updates that I can see when the device is configured in red pill mode are updates to the core OS that have been released by Nokia (bug fixes perhaps?) then shouldn't these be visible in blue pill mode as well? 2. Is there any reason not to install these updates, or at least the ones from Nokia that are part of the Nokia supported software baseline? 3. Is is the case that even though these updates do not appear when in blue pill mode, they will in fact get automatically downloaded/installed by the OS (Kind of a OS patch level self maintaining capability if you will)? From what I now understand about red vs blue pill mode, it seems to be conceptually similar to the option provided within the Microsoft Windows OS/file system wherein Windows Explorer can be configured to either hide or make visible, files that are OS related. The difference seems to be that, in the case of the N800 OS, the hiding is done at the application (package?) level and not the file level. -- Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Some Data Backed Commentary in the midst of this week's Blather about the Iphone
Kevin, and it looks like Apple, has, in fact,. "bent the pins", on this device, moreso than on , say Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, or 6.0 based devices (which are in fact quite user extensible, witness the software product portfolio available at handago) by dis-allowing the user from installing arbitrary software "apps" on it. This product is driven as much by the itunes business model (ipod = high class razor, tunes = blade) than anything else. ATT and Apple can now "collaborate" on extending Itunes dominance to other forms of media content. I would be interested to know how long ATT is going to have exclusivity on the Iphone. If it is more than say 6 months, then that will give iphone competitors time to sell/design/build competing solutions to the other mobile service providers, which they, are probably already doing.

Exporting Outlook contacts for Import into N800 Contacts App
All I have tried exporting my Microsoft Outlook 2007 contacts in two different file formats, .pst, and .csv for import into the N800 contacts app.The app does not even recognize the .pst format and with the .csv format it corrupts the imported information extensively. For example, it ends up adding a large number of contacts "unnamed" with nothing in them. Has anyone else had success in exporting from Outlook into the N800 contacts app? If so, how did you do it? I would think that Nokia would have made sure that this export/import process worked flawlessly given the popularity of Microsoft Outlook for calendaring and contacts management so perhaps I have missed a step that is not well documented in the Nokia documentation. -- Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: Does osso-xterm support command line parameters ?
David, right question, wrong choice of command. The ping command is not support in the instantiation of busybox that is implemented in the N800 OS. If, at the osso-xterm command prompt, you input the text "busybox" (without the quotes) it will list the commands that are supported in the N800 version. Ping is NOT one of those commands. You will notice after doing so that there are some fairly obscure commands that are supported so it does mystify me as to why Ping is not one of those.

Re: Dock station for Nokia770/N800
Michael, from the beginning of my awareness of the Internet Tablet form factor product ~2 years ago I have been thinking about how a docking station could be created for exactly the purpose you mention, i.e.."...as control device for music and home control systems". What I would like to see is a docking station that could either be a) used as a free standing device cradle, or, alternatively, b) mounted in a shallow recessed wall box with AC power where the device could be easily "unmounted" for handheld use.or alternatively, left in the wall box and used while mounted. With proper foresight a savvy mechanical designer, I think, could come up with a design that could be worked into both of the above applications. -- Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks Michael Stepanov wrote: > Hi, > > I have a hardware feature request/question.

N800: Notes from the Field - A Successful Radio Workaround
All, for many years my Saturday's have been at least partially occupied by our childrens' sports activities and in the springtime that means either soccer (aka football) or lacrosse. Today was no different except that I forgot to bring my FM radio + earbuds to listen while watching the contest. Actually what happened was that I got the "bums rush" from my daughter who would not tolerate my going back in the house to get one more item that I had forgotten because we were pushing the limit timewise. My first thought was, hey, no problem, I can use the FM tuner on my N800 which I DID bring along as well as my mobile phone. But the flaw in that strategy, I then realized was: no earbuds, therefore no antenna, therefore no FM. Bummer. The I realized, wait a minute, I could use my N800 tethered to my mobile phone's EVDO service as a packet radio. In the U.S. most of the larger market public radio stations also have a Internet feed and sure enough the feed for my favorite station came through loud and clear through the semi-cheesy N800 speakers (how good can tiny speakers be?) with a volume and clarity sufficient to overcome the ambient background noise one would expect at an event like this. Now this experience while satisfying was not perfect. Here are the problems I experienced: 1. As anyone working with these kinds of devices knows, with strong daylight it is almost impossible to navigate a screen menu. This is true for my mobile phone as well as the N800. I don't know if there is a solution for this problem. Sometimes you have to guess from memory where the correct checkbox/icon is located. 2. I dropped the N800 a few times on the grass/dirt and that experience reminded me how absurd it is that Nokia has, as far as I can tell, STILL has not released the leather case that they show at their www site and that would provide better protection for the device while it is in use. Of course the bandwidth required for Internet/packet radio does not really push the limits of a service like EVDO or HSDPA which explains why during an hour of listening I did not perceive any dropouts. On the other hand I have no idea of how many other people in the vicinity were also contending for EVDO bandwidth. Each season I notice a growing proportion of individuals at these events who have some kind of smartphone, typified by the RIM Blackberry. -- Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks * * *would** you like to know where is Darren on his thru-hike? you can find out at:www.whereisdarren.com*** * *** ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Joost client for the N800?
All, I tried to sign up for the Joost beta only to learn that, like Google mail before it, you need to be invited by someone who is already in the Beta and who has "tokens" to hand out. My question is as follows: 2. It appears Joost requires the installation of client side software. Is Nokia doing anything to influence the Joost folk to develop a Linux client for small screen devices? I see that at least one N800 user, geneven, has put in a pitch for an N800 Linux client on the Joost forum www site.

Re: N800 inflight!
Alan, aah! That has been my quest as well."losing" the laptop. However, you might want to mitigate the risk/consequences of losing of your N800 while you experience the "mind fog" of jet lag by taking that laptop along as a backup. On the other hand if money is not an issue you could purchase a second N800 as a backup and keep it in a separate location. I did a similar work related experiment a few months ago (i.e. bringing to/using at the work site an N800 in lieu of a laptop to perform equipment config work) and the experiment was a success.

Re: bluetooth GPS receiver

You can use it with your N800 and turn your device into a motion capture device, automated snapshot device, or anything else you can think of.

Unzip and copy motion and motion.conf to your N800 2. Using xterm, start motion 3. Hit the IP of your N800 with a web browser on port 8081 (use firefox!) 4.

Re: How to replace Dummy www page on N800?
Paul, aah...thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten that the www server is NOT a part of the Nokia OS. It turns out that I had, in fact, installed a 3rd party www server, known as nginx, originated by Igor Sysoev. A version of that www server was packaged for the Nokia 770/800 OS's by Santtu Lakkala who is an active contributor to maemo and the maemo-developers list. I have copied him on this response. Here is the url to a blog entry by Santtu that provides an installer file fo nginx. http://inz.fi/blog/2007/01/26/nginx-http-server-and-install-files/ here is the url to the www site that has the generic (not Nokia specific) LInux .tar http://nginx.net/ here is the url to a www site called codemogers.com that has a wiki for nginx. http://wiki.codemongers.com/ and here is the nginx author, Igor's, www site where he maintains the source and object code for nginx: http://sysoev.ru/en/ Since there is documentation at the wiki I will take a look there to see how to locate the www site file tree in the N800 instance of nginx. I should mention that there seems to be some consideration given, the efficiency of nginx for static www pages, to using ngnix as a foundation www server for Ruby on Rails development projects. Here is the url to a discussion on that topic from someone who works with ROR http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/2007/01/26/hosting-ruby-on-rails-lighttpd-apache-mongrel-webrick-litespeed-and-ngnix/ and some commentary relating to nginx. Note in the post below that the poster has misspelled (i.e. reversed the i and the x) the name of the software, nginx. I suspect this is because people are used to the suffix *nix and perhaps sometimes misread it as I did when I first saw the word. It's all about Russia, stupid And then, when everyone had already settled down with a nice, reliable and fast solution for serving Ruby, ngnix <http://sysoev.ru/nginx> comes into town. ngnix <http://sysoev.ru/nginx> is a wholly fast web server that serves static files in a breeze. And also does load-balancing. Got the point? Serving Mongrel instances through ngnix <http://sysoev.ru/nginx>. ngnix <http://sysoev.ru/nginx> is chiefly developed by russians and English documentation is still lacking so if you need assistance to get started check this post <http://www.brainspl.at/articles/2006/08/23/nginx-my-new-favorite-front-end-for-mongrel-cluster>.

Re: Nokia 770 will not power on after standby
K, I don't have any answers but I just yesterday I reported to this list a similar problem on the N800 requiring removal/re installation of the battery to "unbrick" the device. Having said that, I can say that from my experience, the N800 software overall seems quite stable and far along on the software quality "learning curve". Interestingly, I find that I can easily "brick" my mobile phone by running a large file download (e.g. a bandwidth test) or even sometimes opening a complex, data rich www page, which then requires me to hard reset/reboot the phone which runs Windows Mobile 5.0 in order to "un-brick" it. The nice part about these devices however, is that, with respect to rebooting, it is like going back to the good old days when rebooting computers took seconds as opposed to minutes! Let's hope that this trend continues because I don't want to spend my time watching doodads spinning around during a lengthy reboot cycle.

Re: N800 as a Business Productivity Tool
K, many of the router and 802.11 access point products with which I work are designed around the assumption that the predominant, and, in most cases, the only method of effecting remote (i.e. via the TCP/IP stack as opposed to a serial port) management is via http or, preferably, https to a www server. On the router side most of my experience is with the products of Cisco/Linksys but I assume that the others, e.g. Dlink, Netgear, Belkin, etc. use the same approach given the ubiquity, familiarty, ease of use of a www browser based client end interface. Regarding the mail client I believe Nokia has to fix this, and do so sooner as opposed to later. For business use, email is still the "killer" data app (somewhat to my surprise that it is still so after all these years) and for Nokia to have missed the opportunity to get this right just amazes me. the N800 won't be a viable business tool until they correct this, in my opinion, fatal software flaw/shortcoming. Now maybe that is a market that Nokia is not interested in for this product but I think that would be a mistake, especially since fixing it is a SMOP (Small Matter of Programming).

N800 Intermittent Failure Mode Requiring Battery removal/reinsertion
All, I am finding that a few times a day I have to remove and reinsert the battery in order to regain full functionality of the N800. In the latest instance, the N800 failed to discover a number of 802.11 LANS that is normally able to discover. After the battery removal/reinsertion the system, fortunately recovers. What is mildly disconcerting about this condition is that before the battery removal/insertion but after powering down, the system will not power back up. -- Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
N800 as a Business Productivity Tool
All, Here are some thoughts on the use of the N800 and its successors as a business productivity tool as well as a fun, casual entertainment/consumer oriented device. As one who has carried (in the early days lugged) laptops and before that, dumb terminals, literally around the world for business purposes, and especially for that killer app, email, I was very interested in the possibility of a product/device that would allow me to intentionally "lose the laptop". To that end I performed a somewhat (not too) risky experiment yesterday by NOT bringing my trusty laptop with me to a critical customer install of some broadband wireless (on both the WAN and the LAN side) router equipment but, instead, bringing along my trusty N800 and, as I typically do, my EVDO broadband service enabled mobile phone. Now I knew that if I really got in trouble I could count on this customer having plenty of desktop and notebook computer horsepower at hand but my goal was to not have to avail myself of that contingency resource. In short, the experiment was a mostly unqualified success. Using the N800 I was able to a) drill into the router admin http port of the broadband wireless router from the 802.11 side to perform configuration via the www admin interface and diagnose configuration issues and, later b) connect the N800 to my EVDO enabled mobile phone via Bluetooth to verify that the EVDO signal was in fact strong enough inside of the building where the router is installed to be useful for Internet access by test browsing Internet www pages from the N800. Navigating the router admin port www pages was a little extra work (scrolling of 2 levels nested windows) but with the N800 I was still able to perform the necessary configuration adjustments on the router. Although my mobile phone also has 802.11 capability I have found that the screen size of that device (a UTStarcom 6700) is just too small and not productive for real config work like I was performing successfully with the N800. The N800, with its full VGA and larger screen size, and www page zoom capability seems to be a very workable compromise to a notebook/laptop as long as the www site does not have stuff (e.g. active-x etc) that does not render/work in the N800 browser.. If I had had some of the standard network tools installed on the N800 (e.g. ping, and perhaps even nmap) I could have performed further diagnostic testing of the broadband router EVDO network connection (e.g. to confirm that the firewall was enabled and working correctly). Some additional observations/comments re: N800 usability: +'s One interesting aspect of the N800 bluetooth capability that I discovered during this implementation project is that the the bluetooth signal was strong enough between the N800 and my mobile phone that even when the N800 was ~20 ft from the handset and separated by an inside wall and a cubicle wall I was still able to keep the pairing active and have broadband network access via the mobile phone Finally I want to mention that although I have used my mobile phone to browse the www while on the underground (subway)system in my area, the experience is much more productive when using the N800 paired with the mobile phone, than using the mobile phone by itself, again, because of the large screen size, higher resolution, etc. of the N800 vs a mobile phone. This is an environment where, especially during the crowding conditions during rush hour it is neither practical nor unobtrusive to whip out a laptop to try to accomplish some simple Internet related task. On the other hand the N800 paired with a mobile phone is quite satisfactory. -'s www sites with embedded objects (e.g. flash) that do not render well or very slowly in the N800 browser. In this respect, ironically, it seems that the Microsoft www site including the Mobile www page works no worse than and, perhaps, a little bit better than Nokia's own www site in the N800 browser. As others have commented, the N800 mail client really needs improvement. It is nowhere year as useable useful as the Windows Mobile 5.0 (I call it Outlook-lite) client on my handset. For starters, although the N800 allows the user to create multiple mailboxes, it only seems to maintain one set of IMAP folders. This is a non-starter. There needs to be a reader for Microsoft word .doc's, Excel .xls files, and Powerpoint .ppt files Perhaps a stripped down version of Openoffice would be a workable solution for this requirement. The bluetooth Icon should remain in the system tray (or whatever it is called) even when Bluetooth is turned off. Or at lest the option to configure it to do so should be made a configuration option for the tablet-top. This would make it faster to toggle the bluetooth receive on and off if there is a difficult pairing situation with anot

Verizon Wireless as you know is not friendly towards tethering because Verizon Wireless offers a lower price on their EVDO service when it is associated with a EVDO capable handset than when it is associated with a PCMCIA card (data only service).

Best Regards, John Holmblad [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As for the concrete plan: There is going to be a 'meta' package that represents the whole operating system. Updates to the OS are done by updating this meta package in the Application Manager. The meta package will have dependencies on all packages with their exact versions that make up the official OS releases. The Application Manager will not allow the removal of the meta package. I have found through experience this is a very powerful way to use standard distribution tools and still hold control. I've implimented a mechanism like this and it works well. We made it such that (and from the sounds of it this will be the same) a developer could remove the meta lock package and wreak havoc on the system. This was a good thing. Hardcore devels could do bad things, but they will always do bad things. This gave them the last hurdle to say, you are now out of control. It also means that support can easily tell when a user has willfully removed the meta lock and thus absolve themselevs of some level of support. This means that the Application Manager will not allow you to update individual OS packages (or to install third party applications that require this), since you would have to remove the meta package for that. It is still possible to install additional 'system' packages, just not to upgrade already installed ones. A second new feature is that the Application Manager will distinguish between "trusted sources" and "non-trusted sources" (based on the key used to sign the corresponding repository). A package that has originally been installed from a trusted source will only be allowed to be updated (or replaced) from a trusted source. The flash image is also treated as a trusted source, so you will only be able to update packages that are pre-installed in the device from trusted sources. This makes it easier for the user to be sure that he doesn't pick up unwanted system software updates by accident. The set of trusted sources will be under control of a power-user: you can just add some GPG keys to the right place, but there is no UI to do it. You can also switch the whole lock-down machinery off by going to red-pill mode. So whaddaya think? Useful? Too painful? Too difficult to escape from? Presonally I think the one or two one-time extra steps will not be a burdne for hackers and yet provide some safety to users. Overall I think it solves much of the 'rouge' package concerns. As you said it does not solve all the problems. But no single solution will solve everything, but this is a strong first step.

The keyboard would also, when closed, protect that nice screen. (someone on the #maemo channel mentioned the E90 has the same processor and memory as the N800... hmmm...)

[maemo-users] Problem connecting to AOL IMAP Server
All, I cannot seem to get the N800 mail client to successfully connect to the AOL IMAP service. I know this service works because I use it with several mail clients including Netscape, Thunderbird, and Outlook running on Windows XP, and the mail clients on Windows Mobile 5.0 and Microsoft PPC 2003, no problem. I have checked and rechecked the user name, pw, server name and TCP port # to no avail.

Re: [maemo-users] Nokia Internet Tablet as Pennnetration Testing Device
K, you are right. It looks to me like they are packaging already available opensource security auditor tools and making them available with a GUI that is useable on the N770/800 form factor screen. Most of these tools have a command line interface and I have to assume that much of their software development effort was to make the tools more "point and click". Several of these toolkits (e.g. backtrack) are already available as "live-CD's" so I would expect that a "live-MMC" version of such a toolkit could also be created and I would be surprised if this company were not already working on one for the N800.

I think the price tag is high, but it sounds like they have put togeher a good product and if they provide good support as well, then people will definitely pay for convenience. I cannot off the top of my head think of its uses for law enforcement, but I am sure they exist. I do not agree with not making the device public. I know that there are more dangerous devices in the wild, so making this modded 770 slightly difficult to obtain does not protect anyone. My last thought is that any security admin worht his or her salt should be able to put something like this together without too much trouble. Where I see this company possibly making an interesting device is a version that is nearly the same but includes a dedicated processor for breaking encryption, like those old DES-busters a few years back. That would be interesting. Now I kind of want to see what I can put together on my 770 but I know i don't have the time.

Rick, I have not yet tried to install/use Kismet on the N800 but I am interested in seeing whether a useful security auditor's toolkit could be implemented for the N800 that incorporates a useable subset of the Backtrack toolkit ( http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html i ncluding the wireless tools.

Re: [maemo-users] smart2go
Atmasphere, the press release suggests that it WILL be supported on Nokia Nseries products. I have to say that taking on Microsoft and Google in mapping service segment is no small undertaking on Nokia's part. Microsoft has been working to develop the market for location base services for several years now with its Mappoint Web Service and its more recently introduced Virtual Earth service. A member of the Microsoft development team has already published an app to run Virtual Earth on Windows Mobile 5.0 called Virtual Earth Mobile which properly renders the output of the Virtual Earth www site that do not work well or at all on the Windows Mobile 5.0 IE browser or on Mozilla Minimo. Here is the url to the www page with some screen shots along with a link to the .cab file to install VE Mobile on Windows Mobile 5.0. http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/Gallery/VEMobile.ashx And of course there is Google Earth as well which has benefited from its positioning as a core component of the Google brand of services. As some on this list are no doubt aware, neither Google Earth nor Microsoft Virtual Earth will work on the N800 browser application. It is good that Nokia has made the pragmatic decision to make its service available on Windows Mobile 5.0 since WM5.0 is quickly becoming the dominant platform for the kind of pda/smartphones that are needed to make full use of these kinds of applications. It also suggests that the Nokia management team is committed to this kind of www service on its own merits and not just to sell more Nokia handsets that do NOT run Windows Mobile 5.0.

Re: [maemo-users] Radio (was: Contacts on N800)
Andrew, it seems that at the BBC radio player www site, you can only select from among the channel choices in their menu which does not include US (NPR) programming. The NPR.org www site only gives the site visitor a choice of using real player or Windows Media Player. NPR is not a radio station per se. They supply their content to radio stations throughout the U.S. On the other hand I just discovered that my local radio station which carries most of the NPR "feeds" does have an option to receive a .mp3 stream instead of real audio or windows media player. I tested it with the N800 player and it works fine!

Re: [maemo-users] SAMBA on N800
Frantisek, that is helpful. I think that once there is a version of the VNC server that has been ported to the N800 OS then the CIFS client on the N800 would be easy to use by means of a VNC client running on a PC running LInux or Windows. It looks, however, that, for now, at least, in order to have the CIFS/SMB server on the N800 (so, e.g. a user on a PC could browse shares on the N800) it will be necessary to flash/install the modified version of the OS as the earlier post indicated.

Re: [maemo-users] Re: N800 and Bluetooth Headsets
Michael, in the U.S. all three of Cingular (HSDPA), Verizon (EVDO), and Sprint (EVDO) have deployed broadband mobile wireless services with a national footprint that, if Sprint's vision is correct will become, in Sprint's case, a stepping stone to full WIMAX deployment a few years down the road. Nokia is, in fact working with Sprint in the area of WIMAX and and I would be very surprised if Nokia are not considering to put WIMAX into a future version of the N800 or something close to it. I happen to use Verizon's EVDO service and it is very good in terms of bandwidth and U.S. geographic footprint. It supports VOIP satisfactorily and it is being upgraded to higher (Rev. A) performance, as is Sprints EVDO network. I have managed to test out how the wireless "tethering" of the N800 to the Verizon EVDO service via a Verizon handset using bluetooth works but it would be much nicer if I could "lose" the handset and use a future version of the N800 with EVDO and eventually WIMAX in its place. I actually think that the biggest impediment to such a scenario is not so much the need to jam another radio into the N800 form factor as it is the fact that Windows Mobile proves to be much more useful in the corporate world (which is where most of the money to purchase these high end handsets comes from) than a N800. If the Nokia product cannot meet the same application needs then it will not be competitive in this market segment. Although they are expensive, several handset manufacturers, and, in particular, HTC and its reseller UTStarcom, have produced multi radio handsets (EVDO/802.11/CDMA/Bluetooth/IR) that are quite compact, albeit power-hungry, especially with 802.11 turned on. Here is the url to one such product available for both the Sprint and the Verizon Networks in the U.S.: http://www.utstar.com/pcd/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=PPC6700&sAct=0 Most of these high end handsets run Windows Mobile 5.0 but it would be nice for Nokia to provide some competition in this segment by adding, for the US market, a CDMA/EVDO radio or GSM/HSDPA chipset to a future version of the N800 product.

Putting cellular capability on the IT would be as appropriate as putting it on a washing machine. While it would be great to be able to talk to someone while doing laundry, it is not really the purpose of the machine. I wouldn't have bought a 770 or a N800 if it had a GSM/3G/Super-duper next-gen phone built in. Reasons: - It would add $100 to the cost - It would be a purchase that keeps on costing a monthly fee and cost even more when using it traveling - I already have a bare-bones cell phone that makes calls just fine ... most people have - It would tie it to region/plan that would be difficult to transfer out of - It would tie it to some specific technology that doesn't have the longevity/compatibility of wifi/BT - It would consume a great deal more power I think these ITs make a good break from legacy tech like cellular and leave that crowded market to other models. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
