MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan support in the Qt SDK |
|
 The Qt SDK 1.1.2 has been released providing the following content:
* Qt Creator 2.2.1 - mainly a bug fix release. For more information, read the release blog here.
* MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan support: The Qt SDK now contains experimental toolchains and other experimental components to create MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan apps. This feature is available on all supported development platforms by the Qt SDK, meaning Microsoft Windows, Linux and MacOS X.
The support for MeeGo Harmattan is not fully completed yet, it is located inside the experimental section of the installer or updater. Hence support will not get installed automatically, on a fresh installation you need to select the custom mode and enable those components manually. Afterwards you will have everything set up and automatically registered to Qt Creator, including documentation and emulator images. |

Nokia N950 - developer device |
|
In addition to the commercially available Nokia N9, there is another MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan based device from Nokia available now, the N950. It is aimed at software developers, manufactured in limited quantities, and will not be available 'commercially'.
The N950 has mostly the same hardware as the N9, including 1 GB of RAM and the ARM Cortex-A8 (3630) processor clocked at 1 GHz, with the most important differences being the addition of slide-out hardware keyboard, 4" TFT LCD screen rather than 3.9" AMOLED, bigger dimensions and aluminum casing vs. a polycarbonate unibody of the N9, different camera module (same 8 MPix resolution and similar quality but without Carl Zeiss branding), no NFC chip, Bluetooth version 2.1+EDR (the E9 has version 4.0) and a 1320 mAh battery compared to 1450 mAh one in the N9.
The N9 will NOT be sold. It is a part of the N9 DevKit aimed at developers working on applications for the Nokia N9. Details about the MeeGo Community Device Program can be found here. There are just 250 units available for loan.

MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan based Nokia N9 announced |
|
At the CommunicAsia 2011 event today, Nokia has announced the new Nokia N9 based on MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan. Not just beautifully designed, the N9 also offers a wide range of powerful and advanced features.
It all comes together beautifully with the scratch-resistant glass merging perfectly into the smooth one-piece body. And there's innovation in every detail. The vivid AMOLED display brings everything to life right on the surface, plus the curved glass makes it easy to swipe the touch screen as you move between apps.
It all comes down to a simple swipe. This one idea makes everything feel effortless and completely natural as you use your phone. There are no back or home keys - just a continuous flow as you move from app to app. Swipe any edge of the screen to go home, then move easily between three home views.
Three views with everything you need. Start something new in the familiar Applications view, or go to the Open applications view to jump from one live app to another - great for picking up where you left off. The Events view is the place to see what’s happening right now in your world. Live Facebook updates and Tweets, real-time emails and other notifications, all in one place.
Get to where you want to go with free walk and drive navigation and turn-by-turn voice guidance. Find the best of everything in your city, including cafes, shops, concerts, hotels and more, with public transportation line views for over 80 cities worldwide. As maps for your region are preloaded, you can get started right away and save on data costs. Plus the dedicated Drive app is optimised for in-car use with simple touch controls.
Nokia N9 features a fast mobile web browser, so pages load on your screen in no time. And with HTML5 support you get the best of the web including rich apps and fast video playback. Everything is quick and highly responsive, plus you can keep multiple pages open at the same time and move easily between them.
A photo opportunity can come and go at any moment. Use the 8 MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics to take a great shot, or start filming in stunning high definition. The wide-angle lens means you get more friends in the picture - just tap to focus and shoot. Instantly share online for everyone to enjoy, or touch another NFC-enabled phone to share with someone close by.
Nokia N9 comes with quality must-have apps straight out of the box, including Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Accuweather and AP Mobile. You also get Angry Birds Magic to keep you entertained for hours, plus there are other essential apps and games at Ovi Store.
