Re: [Enigma-devel] Maemo Port for Nokia Internet Tablets

[Till Harbaum / Lists]

Hi,

the photocell ... what a funny idea. To clarify for the others: The n810 can 
measure the environmental brightness to adjust its backlighting and the 
keyboard illumination.  

There are so many strange thinks you could do. With the built-in camera you 
could even make "mirror stones". Or stones that somehow react on the average 
color currently seen be the camera ...

I am really waiting for the first eye-toy like games for maemo. But that's a 
little bit off-topic i think ...

BTW: I just uploaded r1050 to my repository.
