oFono, mobile open source project

Damian Koh | May 20, 2009

High-level architecture for oFono.

This went under the radar last week, but what's worth noting is that the Maemo Software team from Nokia and the Open Source Technology Center from Intel are sponsors for the project. Their aim is to develop an open source telephony solution and facilitate the writing of mobile applications. We don't know much about the project aside from a bunch of technical details. But something tells us that this, along with yesterday's leaked screenshot of the Maemo Harmattan, is part of a grander scheme for a next-generation operating system, or a cloud service perhaps. We'll leave you with a diagram of the oFono architecture. If you are a developer, this may be of interest to you.

Android 1.5 update for T-Mobile G1 delayed one week

Bonnie Cha | May 19, 2009

If you're a T-Mobile G1 owner who has been patiently waiting for your Android 1.5 update, we hate to be the ones to tell you that you're going to be waiting just a bit longer.

T-Mobile USA announced on Monday that it's still finalizing the build to "ensure optimal functionality and smooth delivery" so it has delayed pushing out the over-the-air update by one week. The carrier said it expects all G1 owners to have the Cupcake update by early June.

You can check out T-Mobile's official statement here.

Editors' note:

The T-Mobile G1 is known as the HTC Dream in Asia. HTC has not revealed when it will be releasing Android 1.5 for the Dream in Asia.

HTC Hero's software previewed

John Chan | May 19, 2009

Last week, we previewed the HTC Magic and revealed some of the enhancements the company made to Android, most significantly, the addition of Microsoft Exchange support. Well, it looks like the Taiwan manufacturer's R&D department is far from done when it comes to tweaking the default Android 1.5 firmware. A video has emerged with what is supposed to be the ROM for the upcoming HTC Hero--installed on a T-Mobile G1 device (known as the HTC Dream in Asia).

Some of the improvements include a new music player, a calendar that's somewhat similar to the one found on the Touch Diamond2 and changes to the browser interface comprising a new loading status bar and a jazzed-up screen for switching between windows.

Early look at Nokia's Maemo Harmattan

Damian Koh | May 19, 2009

(Credit: MobileCrunch)

Maemo Harmattan may be unfamiliar to most people for now, but if MobileCrunch's source is to be believed, the upcoming mobile operating system might see light of day. Optimistically, this could be between Q4 2010 and Q1 2011. Unlike the Symbian S60 and S40 software which are currently on most Nokia handsets now, Maemo has traditionally been used for the Finns' Internet tablets. The eventual goal, according to the tipster, is to phase out the S60 in favor of Maemo.

Apple asks iPhone devs to test push notifications

Erica Ogg | May 19, 2009

Screenshot of the iPhone's new notification system.

In an email sent to iPhone developers Monday, Apple asked them to try out the AP's news app for the iPhone, the first third-party application to incorporate long-awaited "push" notification on the device.

The email asked developers who would like to participate to install the AP News application on an iPhone running iPhone OS 3.0 beta 5. Apple has already said that the OS 3.0 release next month will include an expanded notifications service for third-party applications. Currently, the service only works with the device's core applications: Incoming calls, texts, and calendar appointments.

The service was originally set to be introduced by October last year, but Apple missed the deadline. Instead, it was rolled into the wider revamp of the phone's operating system.

The forthcoming Palm Pre smartphone is also set to launch soon. Industry observers have noted that the Pre's sophisticated multitasking could give the iPhone's notification service a serious challenge.
