It uses the built-in infrared port to fire the commands. The video below is of it in action. Looks cool but they need to update the look to the new Apple Remote. The old white remote is dated.

If you have a emulator on your N900 this would make playing the games that much easier. It’s like a portable game system. Directions aren’t the easiest but it’s a cool hack if you’re adventurous.

It’s only 10.3 and it runs extremely slowly. It took 1.5 hours to reach the about this mac screen. But this is the type of project that is just cool to do. It is running PearPC emulator that he compiled for Maemo 5. It goes along with my post about Android running on the N900.

The video above shows Android running on a Nokia N900. It’s basically a proof of concept right now. I did a similar project with my N800 awhile back. While the N900 is a great product, it’s still more of a enthusiasts product and not main stream. That means that projects like installing Android work well.

If you have one of the new Nokia N900 devices you can use it to control your PS3. The BlueMaemo bluetooth emulator acts as a controller for the PS3. It doesn’t display the PS3 on the N900 but it’s still cool.

More info and directions on install at Geek.com.

Pretty cool idea to use the N810 as a remote control. It’s using Maemo Orbiter and he is already working on a version for the N900. I wonder if it will work with the N800 since that’s what I have.

Now it is possible for the Nokia N800. The installer files aren’t available yet, but as soon as they are I will let you know. The video below shows it in action.

It’s the iPhone’s virtual keyboard on the Nokia N800. I can’t find where I packed my N800 or I would have this installed already instead of typing on here.

Not happy with Opera for your Nokia N800? Now you can get Mozilla. My guess is you won’t be any happier with Mozilla because it’s still in beta and lacks some of it’s features.

What is does support:
Specifications

* Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML): HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0/1.1
* JavaScript 1.7, based on ECMA-262, revision 3: ECMA-262
* Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX)
* Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): CSS Level 1, CSS Level 2 and parts of CSS Level 3
* Document Object Model (DOM): DOM Level 1, DOM Level 2 and parts of DOM Level 3
* Extensible Markup Language (XML): XML 1.0, Namespaces in XML, Associating Style Sheets with XML
* Documents 1.0, Fragment Identifier for XML
* XSL Transformations (XSLT): XSLT 1.0
* XML Path Language (XPath): XPath 1.0
* Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG): Subset of SVG 1.1

The part I’m excited about is AJAX support. If you got a N800 I would suggest trying out the beta, it’s only going to get better with time.

There is a software update for the Nokia N800. The software update has Skype, Flash 9, and supports up to 16GB of memory. I haven’t updated mine yet but will as soon as I get home. Below is the list of updates from Nokia’s website.

http://www.nokia.com/A4305010

What’s new

OS 2007 edition v. 4.2007.26-8 includes:

Skype client support

After downloading the new software for the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet and installing Skype, users are ready to make free Internet Calls to other Skype users and low cost calls to landline or mobile phone wherever there is a wireless connection. From coffee shops to offices, to hotels or even on the beach, users will now be able to make Skype calls anywhere they can find a wi-fi hotspot. The Skype user experience familiar from desktop includes also chat, presence, contact details and account management features. The feature upgrade includes easy and quick installer for Skype client.

Adobe® Flash® 9 browser plug-in

Adobe® Flash® 9 browser plug-in has been one of the most wanted features requested by the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet users. The upgrade to Adobe® Flash® 9 browser plug-in opens the door to many rich media websites and considerably improves web usability. It also improves substantially the media performance when using video streaming services.

Up to 8 GB memory card support

More music and more videos imply more memory resources. Memory card support has increased from 2 GB to up to 8 GB, covering most part of the range of memory cards available in the market nowadays.

With two memory card slots the devices memory capability is extendable up to 16 GB. Over 2 GB SD memory cards must be SDHC compatible.

Other Improvements

A lot of work has been done into increasing the battery life of the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. Most of the improvements have been done around the wireless connection, resulting in remarkably longer online usages.

The new Internet Tablet OS brings some improvements at an application level as well. The most visible change is clarification of Now Playing and Library modes for Media Player. The contents of the cards are also scanned faster than before.

Touch screen sensitiveness has been improved through software enhancements. Now the screen areas with most intensive use register events more efficiently.

Nokia Internet Call Invitation (BETA) application

Nokia Internet Call Invitation (BETA) trial period has ended. The invitation mechanism has been removed and service will not be accessible after 31.8.2007.

New pre-installed content

* Tableteer info applet
* Updated Internet radio channels
* Real Rhapsody player easy installer (available for US. residents only)
* Piquant new web sites
