Nokia Online/Offline as it Happens Ads N900 viral ads have been showing up in YouTube. I can’t really figure out where they are coming from and who the official poster is so let me know if you find the main site that has them or if you find new ones so I can add them to this blog entry. Anyway, here they are, in HD. They are all well made, funny, and definitely highlights the N900.

Gary Birkett (aka lcuk) has posted several short single-subject videos and a comprehensive overview of liqbase at YouTube.
The overview is presented in a new liqbase presentation app that has live graphics (instead of screen captures) that he clicks into and uses to demonstrate each app along the way. (Mind-blowing when you see it and think back at the long history of buggy, slow and futile efforts to do this sort of thing before.)
Among other people, I have strongly encouraged Gary to follow his imagination and keep creating the fast, visual, and kinetic apps that constitute liqbase. He’s taken our advice to heart and devoted himself full-time to N900-and-maemo (e.g, liqbase) development.
If you want to see the apps continue to flow, you probably want to visit Gary’s website, liqbase.net, and make a PayPal contribution to enable him to keep going. I have. I hope you will too. This is one developer I want to see keep developing.
The Maemo Summit 2009 finale video:
Three days of great talks, fifty sponsored participants, three hundred Nokia N900s, four hundred plus enthusiasts, and the best Maemo device to date. What a summit! Thank you Nokia, and thank you Amsterdam!
Would you believe that it’s less than a year before the next summit? Looking forward to that!

Nokia just released a new walkthrough video of the Nokia N900 browser. Mikko Korpelainen, Senior Product Manager at Nokia and Martin Shüle, Principal Designer of the User Interface team, demo the different features of the browser.
New in this video are the ‘hover and manipulation mode’ that pops-up a contextual menu on flash items (1:55), swiping gesture from the right (edge of the screen) to left to show the browsing history (3:50), selecting text and using copy (Ctrl-C) & paste (Ctrl-V) (4:23), and creating a bookmark to the desktop (5:15).
