Back in November I gave a quick presentation to the Perth Django/Python Users Group.
It covered a brief history of Python on mobile devices (Maemo/MeeGo/Nemo/ Sailfish), and an example Python/Qt application which has a custom UI for each platform.
The slides can be downloaded here:

I've been playing round with developing native UIs for different mobile platforms using QML.
I've quite a fan of 'common-base, separate UI' development, and QML provides a great way to implement it.
Code is available on github.

I'm pleased to announce that "Perth Trains" has been ported to Sailfish OS, using Silica QML components.
The app provides a simple way to view 'live' departure times of train services across Perth. Versions for MeeGo Harmattan and Maemo 5 are also available.
I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow's announcement from Jolla as to what the N9's successor might look like!
Source code is hosted on github.

The Nokia N9 running MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan is soon to be released here in Australia. I'm lucky enough to be in possession of a developers device, and I thought I'd post a quick follow-up on my previous guide for configuring iiNet VOIP (iiTalk).
Like it's predecessor (the N900), the Nokia N9 has completely integrated support for Mobile, VOIP, Skype, and Google Talk calls - you can make and receive calls on these services just like a usual mobile call, straight from the address book or dialing pad.
This means you can use the N9 with iiTalk, rather than using a headset hooked up to a computer.
Here are the settings I configured on the phone:
Remember you will also have to configure port forwarding to the IP address of your phone on your wifi network – read iiNet's documentation for details.
