Everything and the Mobile Software Universe…

…well technically this is the contrary , check it out at Linux Devices

In kicking off the conference, Nyström emphasized Nokia’s interest in horizontally broadening Qt support across as many platforms as possible. Asked whether the company would also target new verticals, such as automotive infotainment, Nyström did not rule out the possibility. However, in a private interview with LinuxDevices, he admitted, “For Nokia, the real value of Trolltech is in Qt.”

Ok, everything is said: Nokia acknowledges that they have bought Trolltech for Qt as a multi-platform runtime to deploy services, on desktop and devices…I’m really curious to see in  what Nokia morphs…again.

Ok, I’m a browser freak, check my Start menu:

Only Opera missing .

For the last few months Safari has been my default browser, for two main reasons:

• Speed! (blow even Chrome in the water for me)
• Font rendering: much more smoother than all the others, easier for the eyes
• Did I mention Speed?

But one thing was really annoying: when clicking on an URL in outlook or any other application: IE or Firefox were launched (in fact the last “default browser” I’ve set before Safari) instead of Safari!

Here is a tip to fix it:

• Be sure that safari has been set as your default browser
• In any explorer window, got to tools/folder options

• Then File Types, select “URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol”

• Click on Advanced, select Open

• Click Edit and fill the form has in the next screenshot

• Click OK,OK and do the same for “URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy”

And now your links are properly opened in Safari!

Hope this helps!

Thanks David for finding this nice one:

…looking at the prices, and compared to the BOM of an Ultra low cost phone (now around 15$ for the best OEMs)…well you understand why smartphones are not cheap…and how difficult it is to do an Ultra Low Cost phone!

…I just can"’t imagine the margins chip manufacturer are doing on those application processors.

This really back-up what I’ve exposed here about application processors.

Any comments?
