Bergamot – FOSS Software for the Symbian OS

January 16th, 2009 by Duarte Velez Grilo

I’m a big fan of Symbian and UIQ3, so I was very happy when I found Bergamot.

In their words:

The Bergamot Project produces high quality free and open source software for the Symbian mobile phone platform used by Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and Samsung.

Unfortunately:

As the Symbian environment is presently undergoing significant changes, we are shifting the project’s focus from the UIQ user interface towards S60, which will be the basis for the coming Symbian OS.

Still, I’ve been using Escarpod (a podcatcher) under UIQ3, and it works really well.

Epá, um podcast de um jornal pressupõe uma boa dose de profissionalismo. Então porque é que, na última edição, o player que têm na página toca as coisas estilo “chipmunk“? É só gravarem com uma frequência de amostragem diferente, calculo eu que tenha de ser um múltiplo qualquer de 11.025 kHz, ou seja, 11.025 kHz, 22.050 kHz ou 44.100 kHz.
