I make things on the web, mobile and in the actual world.

I've done lots of bits and bobs over the years, and right now I'm mostly working on this.

I enjoy speaking about things I like, most recently this. You can email me if you'd like, and I'm on twitter.

Android on the N800 - now with apps and keyboard

So I messed about a bit more with running Android on the N800 after some very talented people on the maemo forums at internet tablet talk ( http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21709 ) created some new patches and released an updated kernel. I now have the bluetooth keyboard working nicely, and can even run some of the .apk android applications from android-freeware.org

A new SDK for android came out two days ago that also seems to have a camera device, and I'm sure that these same excellent people are working towards porting that to run on the N800/N810 too, so I'm sure Ill have a play once they have.

The pictures here show some of the available applications in use, including twitterdroid (durr, twitter app), android file (file viewer) and googhelp (essentially search any of your google product spaces from one app).

Twitterdroid is fine, but like gmail etc, because these sites work great in the browser unless it's google gears ready I can't see much point in having dedicated apps for them. I couldn't get any of the other applications to work, bizarrely they are actually deleted from your memory card after booting out of Android. The google products work as you might expect: exceedingly well, especially the maps and core web products like Gmail and Gcal.

Essentially this is just all playing for playing sake at the moment, until there are more apps and a cleaner faster easy install its all just a bit of fun.

Things i did with my phone today:

Auto geocoded all the images i took. Shoot 25fps video. Used it as a wifi router for me and a friend. Pushed all the content id created through the day to the home network. Made calls. Sent sms updates to twitter. Moblogged. Browsed the web. Uploaded content to Moblog via my browser. Watched a youtube video. Used the onboard gps to find my way to a meeting. The charge lasted all day, only going kaput at 8pm. Thats pretty amazing when you think about it. The only thing i cant do is take a photo of my phone to send with this message, so instead you get a photo of my n800... Running android. :)
