Nokia N900 micro-USB connectors prone to failure?
The N900's well on its way to developing a solid reputation as a hacker's dream, but here's the thing: hackers need a way to charge their device. Actually, we all do, which makes a trending problem with N900s in the field particularly worrisome. It seems that the micro-USB connector's surface mount design is causing it to become misaligned or disconnected completely, and affected users seem to be having mixed results getting the issue covered under warranty. One of the symptoms of a misaligned connector is that it's unusually snug or difficult to connect, and thinking back to our review unit , we did have some minor issues there but didn't really think anything of it at the time. Anyone out there run into this nasty little issue? Nokia N900 micro-USB connectors prone to failure? originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:48:00 EST.

Remainders – The Things We Didn’t Post: One Small Step Edition [Remainders]
In today's Remainders: progress. Sort of. Openmoko's WikiReader takes baby steps towards usability; a new sculpture series offers busts of the Darth Vader that could've been; an MSNBC slideshow sheds light on the photographic pursuits of ISS astronauts, and more. Wiki Wiki We first saw Openmoko's single-purpose WikiReader back in October , and we weren't exactly blown away with what it had to offer. (What it has to offer, by the way, is Wikipedia on a tiny monochrome screen). Well, Openmoko announced an update for the stubborn little device that makes the onscreen keyboard easier to use and gives it better support for math equations in science-y articles. Hmmm. Those don't sound like very exciting updates to me, but what the update lacks in thrills is made up for in the promotional material: the photo to the left shows someone using a WikiReader to read up on the Donner Party while taking a stroll through the wilderness. Yikes. People who received a WikiReader from their clueless Aunt can download the update now or buy it on two SD cards for $29. [ Engadget ] > 8(] Digital sculptors at eFX have brought Vader's original look to life with Ralph McQuarrie Signature Edition Darth Vader Concept Helmets. Based on McQuarrie's original sketches for the Dark Lord, the three-piece helmet shows the Vader we know and love with a bigger, angrier mouth and a frowny-face brow. This most essential piece of Sith gear, in its early form, not only kept Darth Vader alive but also made sure everyone who came across him knew he was one baaaad mamajama. But fans haven't been scared away by Vader's sinister look: despite the $900 price tag, the limited run of 250 has already sold out. [ Technabob ] N900, Meet 95 Here's a partial list of things we've seen running on / working with the Nokia N900 : a Sixaxis Playstation controller, Firefox Mobile 1.0, Maemo and Android dual-boot, Starcraft, and DukeNukem 3D. Here's what we can add to that list: Windows 95. Its definitely a worthy addition to the N900's stable of geek party tricks, but you have to wonder when people are going to start putting the N900's power to use for something a little more...I don't know...useful? [ MobileCrunch ] Spaced Out Every site on the internet you go to these days has some item about those Tweetin' and TwitPic'n astronauts. And for good reason: the pictures they've been beaming back to Earth have themselves been breathtaking and have also served to give us a more immediate connection with those members of our species who happen to be hurtling around the Earth at 17,000 miles per hour. This fascinating slideshow from MSNBC goes behind the scenes to give us some more information about the photography going on up in space. This bit, illuminating some of the astronauts' favorite subject matter, is particularly cool: Some crew members, according to Evans, are fascinated by aurora – the nighttime lights in the skies that occur when oxygen and nitrogen atoms are bombarded by charged solar particles, "and spend a good deal of time learning how to take photographs of the aurora that are meaningful." Really far out stuff. [ MSNBC ]

N900 gains PS3 Sixaxis control over SNES gaming (video)
Even if the N900 isn't quite ready for mass market appeal, that doesn't mean that it's not the perfect device for many of the Engadget elite. With impressive power and out-of-the-box hackability , this QWERTY handset is a tinkerers dream. In fact, Tomasz Sterna has already recompiled the kernel to add joystick (and mouse) support. He then pieced together enough code to turn the N900 into a portable Sixaxis gaming console that brings SNES gaming to any TV. Fire up the N900's Bluetooth, then kick back and immerse yourself in a land of 16-bit dinosaurs and chubby Italian plumbers -- good times. See the finished product after the break.

Android dual-boot could make Nokia N900 jack of two trades
Maemo's already pretty open as open platforms go, but what's better than a single open platform on your open phone? Two open platforms, of course, creating a vortex of pure, unadulterated openness the likes of which the world has never seen. Hacking is par for the course with Nokia's N900 , so it comes as no surprise to see that a motivated individual has managed to get his unit set up in a trick dual-boot configuration with Maemo on internal storage and Android on a separate partition loaded from the microSD card. He says it's "proof of concept" for the moment -- but to steal his words, "its [sic] real and it could be spectacular." We couldn't agree more, and as much as Nokia loves its own code, we can't help but think this precisely the sort of tinkering the N900 was made for. Check video of the magical boot after the break.

Nokia N900 review
Today, Nokia stands at a fascinating fork in the road. Let's consider the facts: first, and most unavoidably, the company is the largest manufacturer of cellphones in the world by a truly sobering margin. At every end of the spectrum, in every market segment, Nokia is successfully pushing phones -- from the highest of the high-end (see Vertu ) to the lowest of the low (the ubiquitous 1100 series, which as far as we can tell, remains the best selling phone in history ). The kind of stark dominance Nokia has built over its competition certainly isn't toppled overnight, but what might be the company's biggest asset has turned out to be its biggest problem, too: S60. In the past eight years, Nokia's bread-and-butter smartphone platform has gone from a pioneer, to a staple, to an industry senior citizen while upstarts like Google and Apple (along with a born-again Palm) have come from practically zero to hijack much of the vast mindshare Espoo once enjoyed. Of course, mindshare doesn't pay the bills, but in a business dominated by fickle consumerism perhaps more than any other, mindshare foreshadows market share -- it's a leading indicator. Put simply, there are too many bright minds with brilliant ideas trying to get a piece of the wireless pie for even a goliath like Nokia to rest on its laurels for years on end. Yet, until just very recently, it seemed content to do just that, slipping out incremental tweaks to S60 on refined hardware while half-heartedly throwing a bone to the "the future is touch!" crowd by introducing S60 5th Edition alongside forgettable devices like the 5800 XpressMusic and N97 . A victim of its own success, the company that had helped define the modern smartphone seemed either unwilling or unable to redefine it. Not all is lost, though. As S60 has continued to pay the bills and produce modern, lustworthy devices like the E71 and E72 , the open, Linux-based Maemo project has quietly been incubating in the company's labs for over four years. What began as a geeky science experiment (a "hobby" in Steve Jobs parlance) on the Nokia 770 tablet back in 2005 matured through several iterations -- even producing the first broadly-available WiMAX MID -- until it finally made the inevitable leap into smartphone territory late last year with the announcement of the N900 . On the surface, a migration to Maemo seems to make sense for Nokia's long-term smartphone strategy; after all, it's years younger than S60 and its ancestry, it's visually attractive in all the ways S60 is not, and it was built with an open philosophy from the ground up, fostering a geeky, close-knit community of hackers and devs from day one. Thing is, Nokia's been absolutely emphatic with us -- Maemo's intended for handheld computers (read: MIDs) with voice capability, while S60 continues to be the choice for purebred smartphones. So, back to that fork in the road we'd mentioned. In one direction lies that current strategy Nokia is trumpeting -- continue to refine S60 through future Symbian revisions (with the help of the Symbian Foundation) and keep pumping out pure-profit smartphones in the low to midrange while sprinkling the upper end of the market with a Maemo device here and there. In the long term, though, running two platforms threatens to dilute Nokia's resources, cloud its focus, and confuse consumers, which leads us to the other direction in the fork: break clean from Symbian, develop Maemo into a refined, powerhouse smartphone platform, and push it throughout the range. Our goal here is to test the N900, of course, but fundamentally, that's the question we tried to keep in the backs of our minds for this review: could Maemo ultimately become the platform of Nokia's future? Let's dig in. Gallery: Nokia N900 review Continue reading Nokia N900 review Nokia N900 review originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

Nokia N900 gets its second firmware update this week
Don't get us wrong, enabling the Ovi Store was a pretty sweet add-on in the last update -- but the second N900 push in just a single week features a list of fixes and changes that should put smiles on a few owners' faces, too (and a few devs' faces, for that matter, while they wait for this payment bug to get patched up). This time around we've got full support for Swiss keyboard layouts, better compatibility with 3-branded SIM cards, support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 in the handset's Mail for Exchange service, and a handful of performance and usability tweaks for Ovi Maps . It'll be available both over-the-air and via PC download in a phased global rollout over the next day, so keep checking; no need to get all crazy about it if you've already installed the first update, though -- you'll be automatically alerted when this one's ready for you.
