The N900′s front camera is hardly ever used (Except via a mirror app) Here’s an app that takes advantage of the front camera, but in much more creative way. johanneskuhlmann.de has created a game that uses the N900′s front camera to track your face and translate that as controls. As you can see in the top [...]
Video Highlight: Flash Earth – on Nokia N900 It’s the final Weekend of February 2010. March is but hours away. Here’s what went down on MyNokiaBlog this week (21-27th Feb 2010) Could the Nokia X10 be the 1st Symbian^3 device? February 21, 2010 Video: Rubik’s Cube Game for the N900 – Free at the Ovi Store February [...]
Here’s a really good alternative to the awesome SPORTS TRACKER app on Symbian. It’s all accelerometer based so there isn’t a GPS tracking side to it to calculate actual distances/speed (or show you your track path) but it’s good enough for basic monitoring. Isn’t there like a recommended 10,000 step minimum? It’s free to download [...]
Navigation got really good after Ovi Maps 3.03, (see 10 reasons to love Ovi Maps) Not only did we get free pedestrian and car turn by turn navigation, Ovi Maps received a complete facelift over the previous version with so many new things to enjoy such as city guides, proper search and improved compass. And [...]
Remember the exciting Symbian^3 video? - here’s another one, but it’s not as flashy production wise. It’s just a glimpse of Symbian^4, from the fiercewireless peeps. I don’t know if it got leaked or if it’s supposed to look like a bunch of screenshots put together. Oh well. BTW, tilt your head to the left [...]
Space Impact (oh how I missed thee!) has just been revitalised again with a new “compass version” Meteor Shield where rotating the phone would control the game. But it’s incompatible to phones without a magnetometer. But old on….Do any of you remember a couple of games called “Attack of the Killer Virus” and “Moorhen Camera [...]
Julien Fourgeaud, (hardcore N97 user – saying he’s not so much a geek but more focused on productivity), shares his vision into the direction of Symbian. Julien says that Symbian will go in the direction the community wants – from new usage such as robotics, home entertainment even automotive things. We will see higher powered [...]
Not content with having the luxury limited Edition N97 Mini Raoul, Nokia have launched a $850 N97 mini Gold Edition. It’s the pearly white N97 mini with 18 carat gold accents wherever there was chrome(or other types of metal). Inside, it’s the same trusty 3.2″, 360X640 tilt screen with QWERTY, 5MP Carl Zeiss Auto-Focus camera, A-GPS, 8GB [...]
Some MeeGo and Moblin videos for you. About MeeGo MeeGo is the merger of “the best of Maemo” with “the best of Moblin” MeeGo – Qt App development means cross platform (and cross device) compatibility with Symbian (and other OS?). Move from one device to another and still use the same app. MeeGo was built [...]
The Nokia Research Center have just released a video about a new Nokia’s Explore and Share concept which they have developed with a “new type of radio technology” to transmit an entire music album to a device wirelessly in about 10 seconds! which if you think about it, it means that the speeds could be [...]
Nokia’s Ovi Maps has a feature called 3D landmarks (and 3D view mode). The rest of the (NAVTEQ) maps is fairly flat with silhouettes of buildings/houses. Now Imagine that the entire Maps system navigation experience had full 3D, with every building rendered to the correct proportion. This would be a great next step to Ovi [...]
Imagine this scenario: You take a photo on the N900. It’s automatically in iPhoto on your mac…and you didn’t do anything – it’s all automatic, no cables, no sending over bluetooth, no sharing over web services, no memory card transfer – NOTHING you had to additionally do. You edit the photo in iPhoto. You browse [...]
There has been previous drama already (in August and November) when Maemo was claimed to be replacing Symbian, and being dropped completely in Nseries by 2012. Nokia flat out denied the Maemo swap and said both Maemo and Symbian will co-exist. “Symbian will continue to be the smartphone OS of our (Nokia’s) choice” Well, one [...]
The N900 has a very powerful, flash capable web browser that delivers desktop like web browsing on a Smartphone. It’s just great to know that with the N900, sites you’ve been visiting on your desktop computer will work pretty well too on the N900. With certain websites, they work so well, you don’t really need [...]
Here’s a very quick demo of the classic Rubix Cube Game for the N900. You’ve got a 3D rubix cube which you can rotate and also turn the individual rows like a proper Rubix Cube. There’s a timer as well as a REFRESH button to mix up the Rubix cube. The rest is down to [...]
Last night one of Nokia’s many holes sprung a leak and brought us the X10, which appears to be a capacitative qwerty slider with an AMOLED screen and some other healthy specifications (See below). The video of the leaked document is below: Full details from document: Nokia X10 Release Documents (Ver. 1) (Due to security [...]

When I wrote about Morpho QuickPanorama App for the N900, I said I’d get some sample shots taken during the day for you guys to see the super quick image processing producing not just panoramic photos but 1080 degree photos and beyond (I don’t know what the limit is, but it’s really cool that you [...]
Mark Guim from The Nokia Blog has come across a GEM of an application at the Ovi Store, called Morpho QuickPanorama. I’ve just tried it myself and I’m very anxious for morning to come so I can take some example snaps! (Too dark to get anything interesting). It’s a brilliant app, so easy to use [...]
On Monday, we had a sneak peak at some games coming soon the the Ovi Store for the N900, one being a really cool 3D Roller Coaster Game. Here’s another look at it in action: It’s a stunning game, and looks even better through TV out. Now that’s how to play accelerometer based games as [...]
