Anyway, sorry for the non-Maemo-related post (although, you should go to El Rancho if you’re ever in Kansas City). I updated my RSS feed (to exclude the post) a few days ago, yet it’s still showing up on Planet Maemo. Drat that aggregator! I just love getting all of those burries (ahem).

And, the winner, after much deliberation (over mailing list, email discussion, and IRC), is:

Glaubert Oliveira from the OpenBossa Design Team!

I’m really looking forward to seeing this logo on the maemo.org website — as well as everywhere else!

Here’s some more info from Dave Neary (another contest judge — and organizer of the judging process).

I am excited for several reasons:

1. OSiM World is rad.
2. I get to meet a bunch of my fellow maemo.org cohort. (I can’t wait to see all of you!)
3. I get to immerse myself in two straight days of Maemo goodness. (Maybe even document it in some sort of special way.)
4. And, well… I’ve never been to Europe! (Really.)

Seriously… This is more exciting than I could ever express here.

Thank you Nokia/Maemo — and, most notably, Quim — for continuing to support this community in such an amazing way.

I’ve submitted a number of ideas myself, and I thought I’d post them here too. I’ll keep posting my ideas as I come up with them (clicking the image will take you to a larger version at the maemo.org wiki).

All of the submissions can be found here (there are some good ones too!).

Good luck everyone!

I’ve only just opened the package, so I’m not going to post a full review right now. My first impression is that the N95 8GB seems to be pretty slick. Aside from a slightly brickish form-factor, the user-interface is pretty intuitive and (for a cell phone) the buttons are all easily accessible and feel pretty responsive. The slider aspect of the phone (to access the number/text pad — slide up — or the media player controls — slide down) seems a fragile, but honestly, I’m not sure how many people have handled this phone before me.

With the advent of Apple‘s iPhone, I wonder why companies continue to make all-in-one phones with limited internal memory, no touchscreen capabilities, and without additional memory card slots. Still, the N95 8GB is a small, easy-to-pocket phone and media player with a bunch of features. While I haven’t dived into all of the functionality yet, it looks very promising. I’m really looking forward to seeing how well it connects with and accentuates my N810.
