Obligatory “got a new toy” post

Kevin Day, December 29th, 2007

For Christmas I received a Nokia N800 internet tablet, which was at the top of my wish list. So far it’s been great to use. Couldn’t be happier.

My initial ideas for applications to write for it are (in increasing order of complexity):

  1. Digital picture frame that pulls images from Flickr based on tags supplied by the user.
  2. Fantasy football live stats calculator
  3. Grocery store helper that suggests what food to buy based on the food I have in my apartment, cost, and nutritional value.

I’m just starting with the Flickr-frame application for my desktop, and once it’s finished then I’ll try porting it to the N800. At the moment I’m using PyGTK for the GUI.
