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.

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 […]
