** 3 X Rubberized Hard Cases Cover Skin For NOKIA N900 - by [http://stores.ebay.com/ITsurpRise itsurprise] These hard cases fit very well, and with no undesirable rubbing/interference. However the colors aren't too exciting. Black is a nice understated look. Similar cases are available from other sellers, particularly some with spectacular colors from 'londonmagic'. However this seller doesn't appear to be active (as of June 2010). Some cases will need to be shimmed (with insulation tape, etc.) for a more secure fit, and interfering edges, tabs, etc. may need to be filed.

This particular model (the photo of a waterfall inside the packing is distinctive) is functional.

I have this case for my N900 (PDair vertical pouch with belt clip). The quality of the outer leather and stitching is very good, but the inner faces where the phone slides in seems to be vinyl rather than soft leather or suede. The tension on the phone body seems just right, neither too tight nor too loose. The case is possibly just a couple of millimetres too shallow to protect the N900 at the open end , but that might be just a little picky! A nice case, but not the ultimate, I'm still looking for better.

* Tradition leather case for N900 - by [http://www.noreve.com/product/Housse_cuir_Nokia_N900_Tradition.html Noreve]
* Black Leather Vertical Flip Carry Case Cover Pouch For Nokia N900 - by AAJ Trading

Ive tried this case from Amazon, this does not fit the N900 well, or maybe its just my case.
Secondly there is transparent plastic strip which holds the N900 in place and it covers the bottom 1/3 of the screen, moving the stylus over it or even doing a slide motion is obstructive. This is my personal opinion, please feel free to correct this post if somebody had a good experience with this.

''This is correct, my N900 will not even fit inside this case, the plastic part that covers the bottom will break if I try to push more than 1cm of the phone in. This is a very bad case which is a shame as it looks nice when closed up.''

<strike>I agree, the AAJ Trading flip case is useless. I can't get my phone in and if I did it would cover up the USB port and also not allow the use of the keyboard.</strike> ''After looking at some of the pictures of other cases I see I was trying to use it wrong. The clear plastic goes over the keyboard not the screen. They it goes in okay. You still can't charge it in the case but at least it is possible to get it in and out quite easily. This case is acceptable now.''

* Noreve Authentic Leather Case - [http://www.symbianoasis.com/2010/01/nokia-n900-leather-protection.html Ambition Leather Flip Case ]
It's a beautiful leather case amde from authentic leather. The flip opens to unveil the camera lens at the back of the device. Check out the images to understand what I mean.

- Bad points first - it's expensive, and a little bulky. On the other hand it's extremely well made and a perfect fit for the N900. Very tough, and great protection for your phone. A suede pad behind a stiff leather panel protects the screen. I've had mine since they went on sale (8 months or so) and despite bouncing around a workshop and a muddy 4x4 it still looks like new.

:: The "full body coverage" sadly means you get a lot of small foil parts which must be placed ''exactly''. But even if they are put in the correct place, there are still some blank parts on the body! Especially some of the corners are not protected. Beside that, protection looks very good and handling is improved while usage of the touchscreen is not impaired.
::+ Good protection
::+ Clear vision
::- Sticky surface as in all military type protectors negatively affecting the use of stylus

== Holders ==

Holders posted here should have been specifically made for the N900 and have take its keyboard and "landscape only" mode into consideration, with GPS/map use in mind.

* Table/desk Stands
** [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43593 Laser-Cut Stand for N900] - Landscape only table/desk stand for use with keyboard in or out, including an easy accessible stylus holder. Available in plywood (wood colored or black, and possibly other colors) and acrylic (transparent). International shipping.

* Windscreen Car Holders
** [http://shop.brando.com/universal-windshield-holder-rotatable-360-degree-enhanced-version-_p01432c0309d060.html Brando Universal Holder - Rotatable 360 degree] - For the 'landscape only' buy the wider version which can hold securely the N900 and you can even use the keyboard at the same time; it rotates 360 degree so easily can serve the N900 phone functions. The downside is that the holder is quite big.

== Cables ==
* Data Cables
** USB Data Cable (CA-101) For Nokia N900 by [http://www.cellphoneshop.net/usbdacaforno4.html CellPhoneShop]
** Mini to Micro USB adapter with Charge-only/Data switch by [http://shop.brando.com/mini-usb-to-micro-usb-adapter-w-on-off-switch_p04160c0006d001.html Brando] (useful if you want to charge from a source other than a computer or Nokia charger, such as a car USB adapter or an external powerpack such as [http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/us/products/xp8000 Energizer's XP8000]) - Requires a Mini USB cable (available at Brando's website too). The switch does the mandatory D+/- shorting according to USB charging specs, so it's a great alternative for those reluctant to do a simple cable hack, to make all those random chargers out there work with N900

* TV / Audio / Video Cable
** Nokia TV/ Audio/ Video output cable Nokia CA-75U by [http://www.shoppingtelecom.com/shopcontroller/ShopRequestAdaptor.php?REQUEST01=4000&REQUEST02=4003&catid=&afid=3&itemid=81277 ShoppingTelecom]. To make the N900 work with this cable for a simple hookup to your home stereo you need to short the yellow plug (use tin foil / whatever you feel might do the job)

== Batteries ==

=== Internal batteries ===

==== Official Nokia battery ====

* The standard internal battery included with the Nokia N900 is the 3.7 V 1320 mAh [http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/power/batteries/nokia-battery-bl-5j Nokia BL-5J] providing a total of 4.9 Wh of power.

==== Extended batteries ====

* The [http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/nokia/nokia-n900/mugen-power-nokia-n900-2400mah-extended-replacement-battery-with-battery-door.html# Mugen Power HLI-N900XL] is a 3.7 V, 2400 mAh after-market replacement battery designed for the N900, providing 8.88 Wh of power at the cost of replacing the back cover and increasing the thickness of the phone by 7 mm. It is reviewed [http://gerrymoth.co.uk/?p=58 here].

* The [http://www.eastmaze.com/High-Capacity-1500mAh-BL-5J-Battery-for-Nokia-Cell-Phone-p1394.html# High Capacity 1500mAh BL-5J Battery for Nokia Cell Phone] is a 3.6 V 1500 mAh battery that fits inside the N900 like a BL-5J. Have ordered two of these from Hong Kong and will update you if they are any good.

=== External batteries ===

'''Warning''': many external power packs [http://thenokiaguide.com/2009/12/16/the-n900-and-external-battery-packs/ are reported not to work well] or not to work at all with the Nokia N900. There are two principal reasons for this:

# The N900 uses a [http://danielwould.wordpress.com/2010/01/31/n900-charging-from-dumb-charger/ strict implementation of the USB specifications], which means you need a dumb charger (or a cable) that adheres to the spec. (However see [http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Accessories#Cables "about D+/- short"] on this page)
# The N900's internal battery holds 4.9 Wh of power, so charging it fully from a charger based on one or two 1.2V 1800m Ah AA rechargeable cells (totalling 2.16 to 4.32 Wh of power) is simply not possible and never will be.

'''Therefore, this section lists only external batteries that are explicitly marketed as being compatible with the N900 or are confirmed as such by multiple reviews. '''

* The [http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/power/chargers/nokia-extra-power-dc-11/specifications Nokia Extra Power DC-11] is a 3.7V 1500mAh external battery pack, providing an additional 5.55Wh of power. It is marketed by Nokia as being compatible with the N900. However, users report that while it can top up the N900's battery, the DC-11 is not capable of recharging it from flat.
* The [http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4662&t_mode=des Proporta USB Turbocharger 3400] is reported to work well with the N900 [http://nokia-n900.com/proporta-usb-turbocharger-3400-additional-power-in-your-pocket/ both in this review] and also [http://thenokiaguide.com/2009/12/16/the-n900-and-external-battery-packs/ here]. It holds a 3.7 V, 3400 mAh external power pack (providing an additional 12.58 Wh of power) and provides a charging current of 700 mA at 5.5 V (3.85 W). Note that the basic version does not come with a mains adapter and so it charges only via USB. The [http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4661&t_mode=des Proporta USB Turbocharger 3400 World Pack] is the same device with the addition of a worldwide mains USB charger and a car charger. This increases your charging options, but be aware that it will not increase the charging speed.
* There are multiple reports of the [http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/ph/products/xp2000/ Energizer XP2000] working with the Nokia N900: [http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=436060&postcount=29 1][http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=727518&postcount=44 2]

== Gaming ==

* Game-gripper gaming controller for [http://www.game-gripper.eu/buy_n900.aspx Europe] and [http://www.home.game-gripper.com/buy/n900 the rest of the world].

== Memory Cards ==

=== The device ===
The [[N900]] has a memory card expansion slot, which can be accessed by removing the back cover. It is next to the camera lens. This is not to be confused with the sim-slot, which is under the battery, because they are not dis-similar in size. If done carefully, the device does not need to be turned off while inserting or removing a memory card. Using such a card can double available storage and can be very useful when running other O/Ss, such as Android.

=== Compatability of cards ===
The N900 supports [http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc/ micro SDHC] cards; it does not support [http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc/ micro SDXC cards]. are available in range of sizes/capacities (GB), data transfer speeds ([http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/ class]) and types. When the N900 was released, the maximum capcity micro SD cards was 16GB (commonly available). Now, 32GB cards are available.

The fastest cards available in SDHC format are UHS-1 (Jun 2011), thers is some suggestion that these [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61798 can work in the device (TBC)] but there are confirmed reports of a number class 10 cards working well.

=== Cards available ===
Unfortunately, not all cards are equal. Some perform as advertised, while others have less storage and/or are slower than advertised. This is particularly so, the higher the capacity and speed.

== Rules ==

To ensure that the event runs properly, there are a few essential rules:

Only individuals may participate. Companies are excluded from the competition because of equity reasons.

If you have coded your app in a team and you win one of the travels to the MeeGo Conference, your team has to designate one person as the winner.

Any number of apps can be submitted and elected as winner.

Apps must be uploaded as executable including at least two screen shots and a brief description on a yet to be named website to take part in the election. The applications have to run on default hardware running on an official version of Maemo or MeeGo.

All applications, which are created and uploaded during the duration of the Competition will take part in the election. For existing programs, only progress which has been made during the Competition will be considered. When porting apps, only the work of porting will be considered, unless the original program is from the same programmer and was developed or extended in the Competition timeframe.

Only users of [http://maemo.org maemo.org] and [http://meego.com meego.com] who are registered at the time of voting for at least four months are entitled to vote.

There is no legal right to win.

More details regarding the election process to follow.

== FAQ ==

=== Spreading the word ===

====Q: Which Twitter Hashtag to use for this Competition?====
'''A:''' Please use '''#mcc2011'''

=== Application requirements ===

====Q: It is obligatory to code in Qt?====

'''A:''' No, it isn't, but it would make your life probably a lot easier
because you will be able to reach more platforms. We encourage everyone to
use Qt.

=== App/Application submission process ===

====Q: Where to submit my application?====

'''A:''' There will be an Application submission page soon. This will be
the only valid way to participate in the competition.
[[MeeGo_Coding_Competition_2011#Participants|This list in the wiki]] is for information only and not valid
for the competition.

====Q: Updates allowed during the competition?====
I have a new app in the repository, i am considering to apply for the contest.. If i submit it now, will that prevent me to upload further versions to the repos or here? (As it's a work in progress)

'''A:''' No. you can upload updates till the end of the competition.

====Q: Who selects the category of the application?====
Will the developers select the category when they join the competition or will someone sort it into the correct category before the voting begins?

'''A:''' They will choose the category for their app, but everyone should
keep an eye on that. Before the voting process starts we'll check if every
app is in a reasonable category, so that it is not possible to cheat by
choosing the category with the lowest competition.

== Application proposal ==

If you would like to have an App but you can't code yourself, write it down here! Many devs are happy to get a new idea input.

MeeGo Coding Competition 2011

2011-04-14T11:16:01Z

212.200.52.11: /* Participants */

== Introduction ==
[[Image:Logo_MeeGo_Competition_2011.jpg‎|left|thumb|245px|Logo is created by [http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=983972&postcount=115 mrsellout] (previous version by [http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=978495&postcount=55 noobmonkey]]]
The wait is over!

We are proud to announce the [[MeeGo Coding Competition 2011]]!

As successor it will follow the good example of the community driven [[Maemo Coding Competition 1|Maemo Coding Competition 2010]]. [http://flors.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/n900-coding-competition-a-grassroots-community-success/ Quim Gil wrote] lot of good things about this "grass roots community success".

To make this year's competition bigger and better, we urge all MeeGo enthusiasts to organize events during the MeeGo Coding Competition 2011 in their [http://wiki.meego.com/Local_MeeGo_Networks Local MeeGo Network]. We are sure that Intel and Nokia are going to assist you doing that. Please [mailto:info@meetmeego.org contact us] to get in touch with Intel and Nokia.

== Events ==

The MeeGo Coding Competition is not an event restricted to one city or country! Everyone can and should participate! Local MeeGo Events and Intel AppLabs will take place in different cities and countries.

=== Local MeeGo Network Berlin ===

The Local MeeGo Network Berlin has planned the following events using the name "[http://meegofreeday.org/ MeeGo Freeday]".
The events in Berlin will be streamed live.

==== Coding Qt - Workshop - 2011-04-01 ====

[[Qt-Maemo|Qt]] is a framework for a cross-platform application development. Qt is pre-installed on our beloved [[Nokia N900]]. Software development using Qt is also possible for [http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Support_for_Maemo MeeGo], [http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Support_for_Symbian Symbian] and [http://www.griffin.net/2010/02/qt-on-the-palm-pre.html WebOS]. All these platforms support Qt. There are also libraries for desktop systems, like [http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Support_for_Windows Windows], [http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Support_for_Mac_OS_X Mac OS] and [http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Support_for_Linux_X11 Linux] available. Unofficially, it is also running on [http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/home/ Android] and [http://www.qt-iphone.com/Introduction.html iOS].

Therefore, Qt is a very good base if you want to publish your app on as many platforms as possible!

You never coded using Qt? You are already a Qt pro and want to work with Qt developers? You still have questions? Then come to the Qt Workshop on 01 April 2011 in the c-base in Berlin! The Qt gurus of Qt Berlin are present and help you with advice and support!
By all this Qt-iness don’t forget the next step: publish your app in the largest MeeGo AppStores: [http://www.appup.com/applications/index Intel AppUp] and [http://store.ovi.com/ Nokia Ovi].

===== Streaming =====
You can watch the recorded video of the "Code Qt!" Workshop at the following link. The language is English: http://t.co/kGvEQRR

==== Nokia Ovi Workshop 2011-04-15 ====

Therefore, on 15 April 2011 there will be the Ovi workshop also in the c-base in Berlin. In this workshop Nokia's specialists will teach you the process of publishing your app to the Ovi-Store.
Then you are a true Ovi professional. And who knows? Maybe there will be new info about Nokia's secret MeeGo / Maemo device?

==== Intel AppLab 2011-04-29 ====

On 29 April 2011, we bring you the [http://www.intelapplab.com/ Intel AppLab] to Berlin (of course also in the c-base)!
During the AppLab coding examples are shown and you will submit your app to the Intel AppUp store. At previous AppLabs developers got MeeGo hardware to take home. This time? Come and see for yourself!

== Prizes ==

Apart from the educational events and the fun at coding there is a lot more for you!

Developers of promising apps will probably receive a MeeGo device.

If you will be elected by the community as one of the main winners, you will fly to the MeeGo Conference in November and sleep there in a nice hotel. There you will meet a lot of like-minded. Without having to pay a single cent.

If Nokia likes your app, they will preinstall it on their first MeeGo device!

But even if you won’t win one of the main prizes, that does not mean you get nothing! We will have cash prizes this time, too. Independent of sponsorship funds, last time the community extensively donated. About $1000.00 came together! Will we be able to beat this record-sum this year?
