Nokia N95 + other graphics related stuff

Thanks for the info - can't wait to start programming on this device.

 

That's too bad, because running on an ARM11, it would be reasonably fast. Hopefully you guys will expose OpenVG and also vendor API extensions.

 

Mobile Pirates video review of N95

Hope you can close it again when the MP3 player is running. That would be a silly oversight, considering they added other subtle things like the automatic menu orientation.

Seems like a fantastic device, although I have a fearful view on humans relying far too much on gadgets, until we are no longer able to cope on our own if they or their infrastructures go down. For another thread, perhaps.

 

Just got back from the Symbian Smart Phone show in London, and got to play with an N95. It seems to be a "home run" of a device: very small and remarkably light, as others have commented. Really looking forward to programming on one of these devices when they become available.

If you go with the specs according to the link above then one would have to deduce that the N95 features the OMAP 2430 processor and not the OMAP 2420. Only reason I am saying this is the reference to the camera support upto 5Mpix whereas OMAP 2420 supports 4Mpix+... interesting...comments anyone...

 

Will the camera on this phone have auto focus?

I have an N80 right now and even though it has a 3MP camera it's not as great in taking pictures...

coz It doesn't have auto focus...

and photos that are taken with it isn't that great unless you have really steady hands or you're using something to hold it in place.

 

Thank God!

 

We have just ported our OpenVG 1.0 driver (layered on top of OpenGLES acceleration) on a nokia N93 (youtube video), performances are quite good.

That phone is the dogs nads.

Hopefully by the time my contract runs out, three will be offering them. (although I doubt it as they are about 3 generations behind on all their handsets )
