Every Flavour Beans

I described five different ways to capture the screen of Nokia N800 Internet Tablet and their pros and cons in an earlier post and had mentioned in it that MH Shot tool could be so much more useful if it also supported delayed screenshots. Well, inz has announced on his blog that now it does.

A blog post suggested that mh-shot-tool should have the ability to snap timed screenshots. Trying not to let the audience down, I added a “re-grab with second delay” functionality. Just refresh the catalogues and check for updates. Install file available as usual.

Thanks for not letting us down! MH Shot tool now looks a superior option to the other similar tools because:

1. It can take screenshots of N800 in all kinds of setup now – applications in fullscreen mode, popped-out menus etc.
2. It allows the user’s to specify a custom delay time, unlike Maemo Screengabber which only allows a 5 second delay.
3. It can store the screenshot either on N800’s memory or can upload directly to the Internet(Flickr). Anyone interested in writing extensions for uploading to box.net or FTP server?

I must take this opportunity to thank inz for providing us with some of the best applications for the maemo platform. Though MH Shot tool is the one I have mentioned on this blog, you can find a lot more useful applications for N800 series of tablets on inz’s blog or on Maemo Hackers website. His blog is one of the maemo application developer’s blog that I am subscribed to and I think you should be too ;)
