Star Trek meets Linux on Nokia 770 LCARS PADD

[bserell]

This is very cool! Hopefully someone will make LCARS a GUI for gen use for PCs, PDAs and PADDs.

[Ioriyaotome]

yo dawg

[kirkthecapt]

SOLD!!!  Now how do I install it to ubuntu 10.04?

[iodyn]

I want it for iPad

[LCARS47]

@iodyn It'd be tough to make a decent LCARS theme on top of the iPad's UI layout, and Apple doesn't support themes anyway. I think you'd have to jailbreak to do anything like this. Someone could make a standalone LCARS app rather than trying to theme the built-in UI, but I'd bet Apple would reject such an app if it came from anyone other than CBS. Why buy Apple's needlessly crippled products (and void your warranty to make them do what you want) when non-crippled products are already available?

[mquiroz90]

@LCARS47 wat tablet was that was it made in 2005?

[LCARS47]

@mquiroz90 It's a Nokia 770 like the title says, released in late 2005. I also did LCARS and other themes for the Nokia N800 and N810 tablets, and a somewhat Trek-ish theme called Okuda for the N900 smartphone.

[sirvegeta]

Phones with hardware buttons. How...quaint.

[nate66sievers]

nice

[makerofdeath101]

nice can this be put on the pc?

[LCARS47]

The theme and sounds packages are for Maemo 4, aka Internet Tablet OS2008. The Maemo SDK runs on Linux, but Nokia provides VMware and VirtualBox images so it can be used on Mac OS X and Windows. Of course, Maemo (and the LCARS themes) run at 800x480 and are designed for touchscreens, so using them on a PC probably won't be that interesting unless you're considering developing software for the platform.

[HustlinFlo]

Sick

[GrumpyFatGit]

Thats nice... Thats real freaking nice.

[estherdestiny]

Hey, that's pretty cool.

[Oneill5491]

[RandomNinjaOfEvil]

[jkoititomoforutube]

[neontomx]

lmao!! this is the coolest thing i've seen on youtube

[bralen24]

OMG! this would be a wet dream come true... I want one!

[LCARS47]

The 770 was running the 2006 OS in this video, with an early version of the LCARS theme. I don't think I was using any other mods at the time.

[coondogtheman1234]

that is so fucking awesome id like to have one of these and be able to have all my stuff on it like what would be on your PC music, videos ,Games etc and be able to do anything you can do on a PC like browse the internet and go on youtube and play flash games and shop online that would be awesome

[paulm64]

I've been torn between getting a Nokia N800 or an Ipod Touch. But after seeing this video I'm going to get the Nokia. Seems like you can do more with it.

[anthwhite91]

That is amazing. When will they do this for my laptop!

[Blue387]

Life is like science fiction!

[somegermangeek]

Sweeet

LCARS - Linux Can Also Run Starships

[PrinceAnakin]

[EdwardJamesOldmos]

The 24th century is here and now.

[closetgeek]

I'm going to get one of these things this weekend and I have to say that this skin is seriously in my top 5 reasons to own one. my friends with iphones are jealous :)

[wing54]

[LocutusDiBorg]

Star Trek and Linux rulez!!!

[shogo6427]

Excellent!!!! :D

[TheNorseDragon]

Installing now! :D

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Went to the web site. Not very informative, sad to say.

[GBart]

bravo!!!

[AdmiralJaneway]

thats awesome!

[lawandordrfrk1121]

i am thinking about buying a nokia 770 i was wondering if you could tell me where to find that mod for the tablet

thx!

[dean10007]

Check the video description, it has a link right in it.

[CyberDethX]

That is AMAZING! Excuse me, I must go buy a Nokia 770 just so I can do this! Loves my LCARS... loves my LCARS...

[dean10007]

I concur. And with boxing day all of 2 days away, I just need to find a store that has one.♠

[shademan55]

:) i want that :)

[gaelanlloyd]

i love this!

[Steinsac]

That was f-ing great! Must have on iPhone, MUST HAVE!

[mziegele]

Awesome, now if you would do that to the iPhone i could die in piece.

[PrinceAnakin]

Thats sweet how did you did that?

[DoctorSensitive]

The iphone makes this look archaic. As much as I've always been in love with Lcars and startrek, the current variations of it are based too much on windows, which makes it sickening to the true futurist.

[LCARS47]

I hear what you're saying; the iPhone is faster and slicker. Sadly, Apple is selling a crippled device. No support for 3rd party apps (without hacks), no copy/paste, and no file manager. The iPhone looks great, but I'd never buy one; I need a *real* OS; one with a file manager, apps, etc. A Nokia 770 costs ~$130, and since it's not a cellphone, it requires no contract. Enjoy your iPhone; I'll enjoy my Linux tablet :P

I'm sorry to hear you don't like the theme, but at least other people seem to.

[tabletschool]

Comparing an iPhone and an Internet Tablet is like comparing a games console and a PC: one is a locked-down device with a very limited range of functions, while the other lets the user do pretty much whatever they want.

The fact that LCARS47 made an Internet Tablet look and sound like a working prop from Star Trek shows just how flexible the device is.

[obsidiantech]

I was at Frys electronics today, they didn't have any on display however they were advertised at $299. A week before they were listed at $179.00. After asking about it, they said only 3 more were in stock and down to $99, so I'm giving it a try now. If you have a Frys in your area, you may want to check.

[metalandpunksuck]

I want that I'll throw $600 down on that

[mikey631]

they are down to $129 if you shop around, but hurry as they are discontinued (newer n800 is out now)

[AkumaShiro]

is their a web site to download the theme at?

[Edwardstubbs]

hi verry cool phone i love star trek to can you run windows vista and gps and run cds like a lap top.

[LCARS47]
