Video: Dual LED Flashlight for the N900
[video at end-to download to go app manager. You may need extras testing apps. See here on how to install that catalogue] Flashlights/Torches – never really around when you need one. Often, it’s too dark to go look for where you’ve put one. Maybe you don’t even have a torch. With phone screens getting bigger [...]

Video: Doom on the N900
Here’s a freebie game that’s popped up in my App Manager, “Doom”. The classic 3D first person shooter that has been played on just about every Nokia S60 and tablet, is also available for the N900. The installation is simple; two clicks. Doom on the N900 uses the keyboard for controls (arrows to move around, [...]
Video: Starcraft on the Nokia N900
I actually intended on uploading and posting a similar game related N900 video but I just saw Starcraft on the N900 and thought I’d post this first. Look how well it seems to run on the N900 (we’ll have to see how it handles larger unit base/fighting off enemies), especially now being touch operated. I’m [...]

7 Symbian S60 5th Edition Apps I'd love to see on Maemo
1. Gravity Undoubtedly one of S60 5th Edition’s saving graces, this app: seamlessly integrates all of twitters features giving you an overall functionality not yet possible with other twitter apps for maemo. Making tweets, sending replies and direct messages is so simple, especially since you can be notified of DM/replies with sound alerts. I love [...]

Avatar on the N900 Sketch App (Sketching on N900)
Sketch app – an often overlooked app on [Nokia] touch screens. Mostly because previous iterations haven’t really been that good – either the software itself, laginess in the screen or both. On the N900, the sketch app is really good. It has pixel sharp accuracy with fantastic responsiveness making it feel like you’re drawing on [...]
