Installation

Download: nixie200_1.30.0.sis for S60 5th edition and S60 3rd FP2 Nokia devices (tested with Nokia N97 mini).

Requires python PyS60 2.0.0 runtime to work. If you are missing this, installation should ask if you want to download and install it. It's a big file, so install either offline or via WiFi.

Download: nixie_v1_10_0.sis for PyS60 1.4.5 to be used on  any Nokia non-touch UI device. Works on touch UI devices, too, but cannot use Options menu.

Nixie Watch

Last evening I read Lifehacker interview of Steve Wozniak. He said "I do have a Nixie Tube watch"... Uh, sorry? Was that Nokia 5800 phone, which was codenamed "Tube"? As a watch?

After some googling I discovered an amazing analog watch, in the wrist of Steve Wozniak. I wanted one immediately, but couldn't have. So the next evening I did the second best thing: wrote a Nixie Tube look-a-like application. Hope you like it, too!

Main Features

• Shows current time (it's a watch)
  
• Portrait screen with 3 rows of two nixie tubes: top row hours, middle row minutes, bottom row seconds.
• Landscape screen with 3 columns of two nixie tubes: left column hours, middle column minutes, right column seconds.
  
• Screensaver is disabled while app is visible
• Last selected tube color is used by default
