After looking over some of the developer documentation I realized I
didn't need a device to try porting my application so I decided to give
it a try.<br><br>I installed the Scratchbox and Xephyr and compiled one of the test
programs. I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy it was to get
started. After sorting out some issues with dependencies, I was able to
get my program compiling and running in a pretty short amount of time.
You can see the results in a few screenshots here:

<br><br>I've
seen some posts about cairo on the mailing list but I didn't see a
package for it. Is it available or should I be looking for another way
to fulfill my cairo needs?
<br><br>Are there any hildon_* functions to get the icon names for
directories (home folder, trash , desktop, normal folders) and for mime
types? I was using a libgnomeui function (gnome_icon_lookup_sync).<br><br>Does the N800 have a way to emit the GdkEventScroll?

planet.gnome.org</a> and saw many posts about the N800 device and I would love to get in on the Developer Device Program. I read a comment from MDK (here: <a href="http://www.mdk.org.pl/articles/2007/01/08/next-step-moon" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://www.mdk.org.pl/articles/2007/01/08/next-step-moon</a>) that said posting a message to this mailing list is the way to sign up for the program.<br><br>I have had a tiny bit of involvement in the open-source community:
<br><br>- I have been creating an image viewer in GTK+ 2.0<br> (<a href="http://mike.yi.org/quiver/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://mike.yi.org/quiver/</a>)<br>- I have filed several bug reports with gtk+ and other open source libraries.
<br>- I have helped my brother with his webcam_server project
<br> (<a href="http://webcamserver.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://webcamserver.sourceforge.net/</a>)<br><br>If given the opportunity to participate in this program I would love to try porting my image viewer to the Maemo
3.0 platform.
<br><br>I have not "released" quiver yet (except to a few close friends) so try it at your own risk (and if you have Ubuntu).<br><br>BTW, Is the N800 even available in Canada?<br><br>Thanks,<br><span class="sg">
