Being part of the awesome Sencha Team, I did shoot a quick attempt to run Sencha Touch, more precisely its Kitchen Sink demo, on Maemo-powered Nokia N900. Since Sencha Touch targets WebKit but Maemo default browser is Gecko/Firefox-based, I crafted a mini launcher which wraps Sencha Touch in QtWebKit. The screenshots below serve as the proof:
Most of the stuff works just fine. There are some minor issues and performance problems, but I worry not. With the amazing amount of optimizations Qt+Nokia put in place for Qt 4.7 and QtWebKit 2.x, writing applications for Maemo/MeeGo will be fun (again).
Eclair still rocks :)
In few hours, I am scheduled to fly to San Francisco, bracing for the impact of Google I/O 2010!
Though Google Chrome for Linux is not yet officially announced, people have been working to make Chromium, the open-source version thereof, available for different popular distributions. I wrote before about CrossOver Chromium, but not only this is just a hack, it is also not up-to-date at all. The easiest way for OpenSUSE 11.1 users is to use the package from Contrib.
Though for veteran OpenSUSE fans, the steps to install Chromium are obvious, here I write down the idiot-proof version. Go to http://software.opensuse.org/search, type Chromium and click the Search button, wait for a moment, find the entry from openSUSE:Factory:Contrib/openSUSE_11.1, then well, click on the 1-Click Install button there. Follow the usual installation guides (mostly just agreeing and confirming some stuff), then in few minutes you will get:
Who says installing software in Linux is difficult?
