** some of the APIs to retrieve system information (battery status, wireless signal strength, etc) have changed in Maemo5 so Canola was not showing accurate information. Also a new icon to show the strength of the GSM/3G signal has been introduced in the status area. | ** some of the APIs to retrieve system information (battery status, wireless signal strength, etc) have changed in Maemo5 so Canola was not showing accurate information.
