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).

Thomas Thurman has posted short but excellent tutorials on how to develop apps for the Nokia N900.

On Part 1 of Thomas’ tutorial, he shows how to create a client for the social bookmarking site reddit. He provides the links to references and downloads, which are quite handy for first-time developers.

On Part 2, Thomas talks about packaging. He also adds an icon to his Raeddit app, and then shows a screencast on how it looks so far.

I hope he keeps creating tutorials as it looks like more and more newer developers would look at developing for the N900 and Maemo 5 soon.

Check out his tutorial page.

EDIT: added Part 2.
