I was reading a post on the (unofficial) Nokia Blog detailing the shortcut keys for the S60 Web Browser. I was instantly reminded of my own frustration and how often I had looked at that page of the user manual.
Web Browser for S60 is easily the most powerful app that ships with new S60 devices. It renders real websites well and quickly using my favorite rendering engine. It packs more features, options, and actions on one screen than any other app that I can think of.
It comes at a price though. Aside from the two softkeys there aren’t any keys on the device marked specifically for browser actions once you’re in the app. Even better, I usually use the browser in full screen mode to maximize screen real estate, so those two softkeys are now gone.
It’s still an amazing app, I just distinctly recall the constant remembering and forgetting and looking up of shortcut keys as a big pain point in my enjoyment of the S60 browser. It’s something that I’d love to see addressed, but I’m not sure of an easy way to do so without resorting to touch interfaces or keys (physical or virtual) that change labels given different contexts.
Mobile browser shortcuts are a lot easier on a device like the N800 or N810 that can dedicate keys to it full time. Or you can go the no-keys approach that seems to be working well for the iPhone.
I know that those smart Finns will figure it out.
Solar water heater or solar hot water is water heated by the use of solar energy. Solar heating systems are generally composed of solar thermal collectors, a water storage tank or another point of usage, interconnecting pipes and a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to the tank.
Sonnenkollektor oder auch Solarkollektor ist eine Vorrichtung zur Sammlung der im Sonnenlicht enthaltenen Energie. Traditionell steht die Bezeichnung für einen thermischen Solarkollektor, der mit der „eingefangenen“ Sonnenenergie ein Übertragungsmedium (Heizwasser) aufheizt, wobei nahezu das gesamte Strahlungsspektrum des Sonnenlichtes in thermischen Solaranlagen mit relativ hohem Wirkungsgrad ausgenutzt wird. Vorrichtungen zur Gewinnung von elektrischer Energie in Photovoltaikanlagen werden dagegen als Solarmodule bezeichnet.
