Re: [maemo-users] JAVA for the 770
Dear Sebas, don be so hard on yourself.. it is because of your blog i tried the installation again, and it worked finally on my unit. Now at least i have some chance to port our department's middleware to test it on the 770, and see whether can i trick my prof to believe in the nokia 770 :) keep up the good work, and let's do more tests and trials. regards, wahlau On 30/01/07, sebastian maemo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm so sorry...

Re: [maemo-users] JAVA for the 770
HI Sebas, thanks for your hint... since if not because of your blog, i would have not tried installing java on the 770 now. btw, mine works too... together with some tests AWT from Andrew. many have asked about using java applets.. which i myself have no idea. it would be nice if you can tell which browser you use, and how you download google map and stuffs... i might perhaps write up a little on the whole thing once i have the time, once. :) regards, wahlau On 26/01/07, sebastian maemo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, this is Sebas. I posted a blog comment where I told how I installed a JVM in my 770. I'm new in this list, so I cannot comment the previous thread. But just to tell Wahlau and others that it really works. I can download Google Maps (not the Mobile version, but the standard PC one), access my Java-enabled bank account webpage, and others. I think the ports were developed by a nice guy called Alexander. I think he's developing many things at the Garage. Anyway thank him very much. The packages are not well packaged :) So that it is not easy to install them, because the application manager cannot do it. You must use dpkg from an x-term. If you find it a difficult task just let me know. Ah, it's important to have installed the minimo package previously. Salut.

Re: [maemo-users] JAVA for the 770
Hi Wahlau: minimo package is necessary only for a matter of dependencies. That is, you need the libraries that come with minimo, but you are going to use the default browser pre-installed in your 770. I don't usually run minimo browser. So you run your pre-installed browser (that is an Opera version), and go to the maps.google.com webpage. You don't need to install anything. If you wait a few seconds for the webpage to download, you'll see the typical map view and even satellite or hybrid view if you like. I've made some pictures and want to upload, but don't know how. I've uploaded it to a Yahoo Group, but I don't like it because you must be member of the group to look at the pictures. Anybody could help me to upload these pics to a blogger? The Yahoo address is the following: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sebastian_nokia770/ 2007/1/26, Wahlau - [EMAIL PROTECTED]: HI Sebas, thanks for your hint... since if not because of your blog, i would have not tried installing java on the 770 now. btw, mine works too... together with some tests AWT from Andrew. many have asked about using java applets.. which i myself have no idea. it would be nice if you can tell which browser you use, and how you download google map and stuffs... i might perhaps write up a little on the whole thing once i have the time, once. :) regards, wahlau On 26/01/07, sebastian maemo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, this is Sebas.
