Google Gears works on Linux… but not the Nokia Tablet

Posted in Software Updates, Internet at 10:01 pm by Jonathan Greene

As soon as I read about Google Gears today I immediately thought how cool it would be to have running on the N800. Unfortunatley this is an impossible dream for now as the Minimo browser does not currently support the installation of .xpi extensions.

If it did we might enjoy Google Reader in offline sync mode, which would make for a fantastic commute companion… If you’ve had success here where I’ve failed, please let me know so we can get the word out!

    Even if it did, I bet this .xpi has a lot of binary components to it that would likely not be compiled to the maemo platform.

    Gears would be awesome on the tablet, though!

    […] on our multimedia computers… While we are on the topic, I’d really like to see this implemented on the Linux end for the N800 as well within Minimo or perhaps even the rumored Firefox for Nokia Tablets I’ve heard some […]
