I want to run a debug build of fennec on my windows mobile emulator. I have been able to do this by “mounting” my object directory as a shared folder. Unfortunitely I’m seeing IO errors which I’ve read could be due to the way the emulator maps in the “storage card.”
So now I’m trying to [...]

Ryan Block, one of the Engadget editors, posted this editorial about Apple’s App Store.
As a developer who has downloaded the SDK and become frustrated, “Amen.” As an iPhone user frustrated by the lack of truely useful 3rd software available, “Please…pretty please. Don’t make me switch to T-mobile and buy an Android phone.”

I spoke with Jaya Kumar today about his e-paper device and running fennec on it. He recently presented his work at the linux plumbers conference. Essentially this is an gumstix device with an e-paper display.
The device he showed me had to be controled remotely with a mouse. In his bag he had a new [...]

Earlier this month I spent some time working on exposing camera functionality to content in fennec and firefox. First, I built upon Chris Double’s implementation of a GStreamer back end for the video tag and extended it to support a “camera://” protocol. When the video tag encounters this, it creates a GStreamer pipeline starting [...]

It occurred to me the other day that I haven’t blogged in a while. As it turns out, its been two months. Wow…..time flies when you’ve got your head down. Anyway, I wanted to share a bit of what I’ve been working on.
I have been playing with Vlads canvas 3d extension to [...]

Several people have been asking for an updated build of xulrunner for maemo. I know the tinderbox I set up in December has been broken since mid January. The good news is the build/release team is taking over these responsibilities and will be doing an infinitely better job than I have in maintaining it. The [...]

Doug blogged friday about getting winEmbed and xulrunner going in the windows mobile emulators. We were both using the windows mobile 6 professional sdk as the target (aka Pocket PC), because that’s the configuration that was checked into svn. Unfortunitely, those binaries did not run on the HTC s730 I have to test with, which [...]
