			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A few months ago, I submitted my personal audio player project <a href="http://audactile.esdrasbeleza.com">Audactile</a> to the Nokia&#8217;s <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/qt-in-use/ambassadors/qtambassador/">Qt Ambassador program</a>. They seem to have liked it and I was accepted into the program.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The good surprise is that they sent me a Qt Ambassador kit: a t-shirt, some stickers and a Nokia C7 mobile phone. The pictures I took aren&#8217;t very good, but here they are:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_0045.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-281" title="Qt Ambassador Kit" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_0045.jpg" alt="Qt Ambassador Kit" width="360" height="480" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_0048.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-282" title="Nokia C7" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_0048.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="361" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_0047.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-283" title="Nokia C7" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_0047.jpg" alt="" width="312" height="356" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The stickers are beautiful and I&#8217;m thinking of where I&#8217;ll put them. <img src='http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  The most attractive item is, obviously, the <strong>Nokia C7</strong>. It runs <strong>Symbian^3</strong>, and it was the very first time I could use a device with it. My first impressions:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The capactive touch screen is very good. I already test devices from Apple, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and HTC, and I can say that it&#8217;s very sensitive. It has support for pinch zoom on images.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Symbian^3&#8242;s UI is way better than its predecessors. It&#8217;s like a mix of the old Symbian (since it&#8217;s still Symbian&#8230;), iOS and Android. You have non-intrusive alerts at the top of the screen (like a desktop) instead of the old ugly rectangles that older versions of Symbian used for their notifications. The menus still are a bit confusing, but are better than my old Nokia E71&#8242;s menus.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The AMOLED display is very sharp, its colours are brilliant and the images look great. You have an ambient light detector that changes the display&#8217;s illumination, like my MacBook does.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The stereo sound from its back outputs are clear and powerful. Nokia knows how to put a good sound into its devices.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Its camera has 8.0MP, dual flash and face recognition. It can record videos in HD resolution, but I haven&#8217;t tested it yet.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nokia C7 has a very powerful hardware. Its software is pretty cool and as friendly as Android IMHO (unfortunately Nokia will use Windows Phone instead of Symbian in some time&#8230;). The mobile phone was given to me with a short letter asking to develop for it, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll do. I&#8217;ll try to write some Qt application for Symbian, and I&#8217;ll report any progress here. <img src='http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve been reading about Haiku OS for some years. Haiku is an operating system inspired by the extinct BeOS, and for me it&#8217;s like an Unix clone with a good and clean interface, like Mac OS, but free.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some months ago its developers released their first alpha, that <a title="Haiku R1 alpha 1, in portuguese" href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/2010/01/21/teste-do-haiku-os-alpha-1r1/">I&#8217;ve already talked about and shown some screenshots</a>. Some days ago they released a new version, <a href="http://www.haiku-os.org/get-haiku/release-notes">Haiku R1 alpha 2</a>. The interface is even better than before and the new features are great. My favourite one is WebPositive, a WebKit-based browser:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/haiku-r1-a2-1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-194" title="WebPositive" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/haiku-r1-a2-1-300x225.png" alt="WebPositive" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I maximised the WebPositive window and its menubar became like a Mac OS apllication menubar:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/haiku-r1-a2-2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192" title="WebPositive's menubar" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/haiku-r1-a2-2-300x225.png" alt="WebPositive's menubar" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Something I didn&#8217;t notice in the latest release: Haiku has support for desktop applets. And OpenGL support is already there too:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/haiku-r1-a2-3.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-193" title="Haiku Desktop" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/haiku-r1-a2-3-300x225.png" alt="Haiku Desktop" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Já faz um tempo que acompanho a trajetória do <a title="HaikuOS" href="http://www.haiku-os.org" target="_blank">Haiku</a>, o projeto que tenta fazer um clone livre e aberto do finado BeOS, sistema operacional encerrado quando a Be foi comprada pela Palm. Desde então, vários projetos surgiram para dar continuidade ao BeOS, dentre eles o OpenBeOS, que acabou se tornando o Haiku.</p>
<p>A primeira versão alfa do Haiku <a href="http://www.haiku-os.org/news/2009-09-13_haiku_project_announces_availability_haiku_r1alpha_1" target="_blank">foi liberada em setembro</a>, e há downloads disponíveis de imagens ISO e máquinas virtuais para VirtualBox e VMware. Para poder tomar conhecimento do procedimento de instalação, acabei baixando o ISO mesmo para testar no VirtualBox.</p>
<p>O procedimento de instalação é bastante enxuto, pelo menos por enquanto: há apenas um particionador e um botão para prosseguir.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14" title="Particionador do HaikuOS" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot2-300x225.png" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot2.png"></a><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot3.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15" title="Instalação em progresso" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot3-300x225.png" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>O boot do Haiku é bastante rápido, mesmo numa VM. O desktop padrão traz atalhos pro HD e documentação na área de trabalho e a deskbar, que é onde temos o menu que nos permite acessar os aplicativos e configurações, além da barra de tarefas. A parte gráfica do sistema está bem trabalhada, com fontes TrueType suavizadas e look &amp; feel confortável.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot6.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16" title="Desktop padrão do Haiku" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot6-300x225.png" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>O Haiku já traz suporte nativo a teclado brasileiro ABNT2, sem a menor dor de cabeça para configurar:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Configuração de teclado brasileiro no Haiku" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot7-300x225.png" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Ele também já acompanha o Firefox, devidamente portado para o Haiku com o nome de BeZillaBrowser, para evitar problemas de <em>branding</em> com o Firefox. Infelizmente é uma versão quase jurássica, a 2.0.0.22pre. Mas vale lembrar que estamos numa versão alfa e nem todos os aplicativos são atualizados, alguns estão lá apenas para mostrar que eles existem e podem ser portados.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot7.png"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot8.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18" title="Firefox no Haiku" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot8-300x225.png" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Mas aí vem aquele velho teste cheio de frescuras: o Haiku já roda Flash? As pessoas não podem viver sem o Youtube. Uma simples busca no Google e descobri que já há <a href="http://adek336.republika.pl/haiku-gnash/" target="_blank">um porte do Gnash para o Haiku</a>. Consegui instalá-lo e abrir um vídeo no Youtube. No entanto, conforme o site do porte informa, o som só funciona em alguns nightly builds, e não funciona na versão alfa que baixei para testar. De qualquer forma, já nos mostra um progresso no desenvolvimento do sistema para usuários finais.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot12.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-23" title="Flash no Firefox/Haiku" src="http://www.esdrasbeleza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot12-300x225.png" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<div><strong>Conclusão:</strong> essa versão alfa R1 do Haiku mostra um sistema operacional simples e promissor. Ele me lembra bastante o Mac OS: um Unix (embora o Haiku ainda não tenha suporte multiusuário) simples de usar, fácil de configurar e já integrado a uma interface gráfica. Já temos em progresso <a href="http://br-linux.org/2010/beos-haiku-ganha-port-do-koffice-e-diversos-componentes-do-kde/" target="_blank">aplicações do KDE rodando no Haiku</a> com look &amp; feel nativo. Acredito que, em médio prazo, teremos mais um sistema amigável e cheio de aplicações para escolher.</div>
