As of now, the Movie Reviews application uses several attributes provided by the Rotten Tomatoes API. The author has future plans to add more attributes and make the user interface richer.

Hola a todos! Hoy vamos a ver un tema del que se ha hablado mucho en twitter últimamente. Con la aparición de Windows Phone 8, nos encontramos ante la duda de hacer una versión de nuestra aplicación para el nuevo sistema, abandonar Windows Phone 7.X o no desarrollar para 8, pues las aplicaciones 7.X funcionan perfectamente en la nueva versión del sistema. Creo que ahora mismo, la respuesta es una mezcla entre ambas. Windows Phone 8 incorpora muchas mejoras que podemos…(read more)

3D printing industry rallies around Lumia 3DK

3D printed Lumia 820 shellWell, it seems like just a few days ago that we released the Lumia 3DK, letting makers on the cutting edge experiment with our 3D models for the Nokia Lumia 820 back shell, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the result. The reaction has been fantastic, and we’re already seeing some interesting designs showing up on Thingiverse and IdeasProject.

To help those printing at home, the nice folks at Makerbot optimized the model for their Replicator 2 and posted it on Thingiverse, along with some great pictures of the printing process.

We’ve also gotten great responses from 3D printing services i.materialize, Sculpteo, and Shapeways. The latest blog from i.materialise shows us a nice range of designs to get the creative juices flowing, and shows off materials you might not have imagined for a phone case. Velvet, anybody?

Finally, the IdeasProject team has started the 3D Printing Challenge. Share your ideas for Nokia Lumia cases for a chance to win a trip to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona!

It’s been a lot of fun watching all the makers at work. Be sure to check out our wiki, contribute to it where you can, and keep those ideas coming!

Tetrepetete, SMS Backup and apkenv updates

Posted on by

Whew, January is pretty much over already, and there haven’t been any updates here. So this means here’s a short cumulative update of what’s happened over the last few weeks:

Tetrepetete
If you are not afraid of falling blocks, and don’t mind the lack of colors, give Tetrepetete a try. Not to be confused with a game of a totally different name, this game brings falling blocks of 4 to your N900 and N950/N9. While the full color version is still not available as such, the free greyscale version is up for grabs as .deb on the website. Including a cameo appearance by That Rabbit from That Rabbit Game for no good reason. Play or discuss. Or be productive. Or something.

SMS Backup GUI
Instead of rolling my own solution from scratch, I found the wonderful MeegoSMSBackupRestore project by Tony Wang, which is a command-line tool for Harmattan devices to backup and restore SMS messages (as if that wasn’t clear from the application name..). It was missing a GUI, so I’ve added one. The announcement and download, as well as the Debian source package (.dsc, .tar.gz) are available from an Internet near you. Feel like Git? We have you covered as well.

apkenv updates
If you haven’t been watching the apkenv Git repo closely (I know you haven’t), you might have missed the Pandora port by crowriot, which – while not being directly useful to Maemo/MeeGo users as such – also brought improvements to the Cut the Rope module, which somehow works now. To be discussed at talk.maemo.org, and patches (as always) welcome.

In other (totally unrelated) news, the thesis is done (yay!).

Windows Phone App Star is a Microsoft sponsored tournament-style challenge that will award 100s of prizes and give one developer the chance to see their app featured in a primetime TV commercial.

It’s Microsoft’s way of showcasing great Windows Phone apps from developers around the world. Whether you already have an app or want to create a new one for Windows Phone 8, this challenge will let consumers try yours and others, then vote for their favorites. It’s a fun, head-to-head, bracket-style competition that starts by rating all the entries and selecting the top 64. Then, these 64 are whittled down over several weeks of consumer voting. Think your app has what it takes?

How it works:

  1. Register by March 5, 2013
    Developers register and ensure apps are live in at least one market before deadline.
    Note: If you are not a Windows Phone Dev Center member, you can get a free Dev Center membership as part of the Nokia Premium Developer Program.
  2. Determining the top 64
    Apps get rated (50% rating/50% quality) to determine the top 64. All 64 winners receive a Lumia 920, app merchandising, and one year of Dev Center.
  3. The Next App Star Grand Champion
    Top 64 apps compete in a head-to-head tournament. Public voting determines who moves forward each round.

The grand prize will be announced on April 9 and the commercial to air Spring/Summer 2013 See rules for complete contest terms and conditions, and register now at dev.windowsphone.com/en-US/featured/next-app-star
