Advertisements The Intel/Nokia partnership strengthens even further with the announcement that they are combining the best of Nokia’s experimental Maemo OS with Intel’s Moblin OS to create a super mobile OS. Qt of course means writing one application that can cross other platforms. MeeGo. Cue LOLCAT/Bad Engrish jokes. I like it. Scratc that. I love […]
Hot from Nokia Conversations here’s a video of Symbian^3 UI and it’s looking quite good, several welcome improvements here. [I wonder if this is the UI video Symbian’s Scott Weiss was referring to or if there’s another one coming for Symbian^4] Multiple homescreens (3) – YAY. One main, one work, one play. 6 widget spaces […]

Some of this week’s highlights: Symbian Launched a promotion called #symbiangives, whereby simply tweeting with the hashtag #symbiangives could win you prizes. Symbian also released some Symbian^4 screenshots whereby we saw a new font change and a new “app switcher” button for Symbian. The X6 got reviewed by Stuff Magazine and also saw a firmware […]
Some supposed Symbian^4 screenshots. For me, the font change makes a world of difference. I think it’s “Arial” which looks much more appealing (fresh/new?) than the standard “Nokia Sans”. [Update from Symbian – it’s Veranda :)] Font change! The screenshots are still 640×360 – hopefully Symbian^4 handsets will increase further in resolution? It’s hard going […]
Last Thursday, London hosted Nokia’s Push N900 event; a project exceeding just app development but pushing boundaries on what you expect a phone to do. CNET’s filmed a video to showcase some of these brilliant N900 hacks (N900 will publish their own official showcase video soon). CLICK to head to CNET They’re very impressive indeed; […]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFM1qOwwIGo] I don’t know what on earth the reviewer speaks of when she says the 5800 was not the hit Nokia were expecting.
