Video: Rollercoaster Extreme 3D free at Ovi Store demoed on Nokia N8
Jim sends this tip in of a video demo of a new game on the Ovi Store called Rollercoaster Extreme for Symbian^3 devices. It’s a great looking 3D game which sits nicely under 11MB. And guess what? It’s freeee “You are riding the rails of eight individual rollercoaster tracks in the suburbs of New York [...]
Video: Air based Hand Gestures on MeeGo EeePC IVI
Here’s an applilcation on MeeGo that allows air based hand gestures (i.e. not touching the screen). That’s a little Xbox Kinect like no? Well actually we’ve seen something like this during the Eye-toy days with none other than the N95 with the camera detecting hand gestures to control the applications on screen. This however is [...]
Video: Nokia N8 running new OVI Maps 3.06 (pinch to zoom, public transit line layer, better search and more!)

Video: TRON: Legacy Nokia N8 Ad projection on Nokia Theatre
As Nokia adverts go, this has to be one of my favourites. This was projected outside the Nokia Theatre (often accused of NOT doing enough to promote Nokia things of televised events that happen inside this theatre). It’s a Nokia N8 TRON:Legacy advert. What I like is that there’s a screen but then the projection [...]
Video: Qt Quick/QML MultiLayer Parallax Desktop UI on MeeGo
Remember the “bubbles” UI on MeeGo where (amongst many things) items on the desktop can be moved in foreground or to the background? Here’s something that goes a little further in that it adds layers of desktops on the panoramic desktop. All are visible on top of each other. Apparently this was all done in [...]
Video: Nokia N8 and Black Eyed Peas' DJ Poet and Timomatic Studio Sessions
TIMOMATIC – who reached top 8 of Australia’s “So you think you can dance” and also starring in “Fame The Musical” has taken his shiny new Nokia N8 on the road for a Studio Session with DJ Poet. As a new recording artist Timomatic is in no better company than the 2x Grammy nominated producer [...]
Nokia N9 rumoured specs: 4.2" AMOLED, 1600mAh, 190 Million Polygon/s power, 768MB RAM, 1GB ROM, 12MP
Some more MeeGo specification rumours are surfacing and this is somewhat hard to believe. A conversation between @camb078 and @addiermedina reveals some exciting number crunching figures especially after an initial typo indicated 19M polygons/s, later corrected to an incredible 190 polygons/second. (The PS2 at 66M/S, PS3 at 275M/S, Wii ~ 100M/S, 360 at 300M/S, N8 [...]

Video: Stay in the Loop – with the Nokia Wireless Loopset LPS-5
I love this video from Nokia Conversations. It shows Nokia’s commitment and passion to connect all people. In recognition of the annual United Nations’ International Day of Persons with Disabilities we have this lovely video about a Nokia Accessory called Wireless Loopset (LPS 5) for people with hearing difficulties. It helps those in particular with [...]

Intel Atom MeeGo Phone (and Tablet) Spotted! (Also N9 to come in keyboard and keyboardless variants? N9-00 and N9-01?)
Check it out! It’s a MeeGo phone – an Intel Atom powered MeeGo phone spotted in Russia from unknown “Hi/Lo Vibrant”. This is the second(?) Intel MeeGo phone that’s graced my eyes, the first being from Aava Mobile with Moorsetown. The early N9 leaked proto photos as far as we know are ARM based though [...]

Video: Nokia N8 Time Lapse with Qt App "Lapsed" presents – "Fox in the Snow"
Saw this on WOMWorld’s blog page. You may remember that the brilliant Iain Wallace has been working on a Qt Sequence app/stop motion application called Lapsed. I saw the icon on @Whatleydude’s phone a couple of days ago and was jealous of this app that Iain’s developing. With the recent snow, Iain’s taken the opportunity [...]

Video: Nokia Ovi Ad N900 – Ovi Journeys demo
I don’t know if this is new, all I know is I’ve never seen it before. It’s a guy kinda going through his day using Ovi services. Now I’m not sure why they’re talking about N900. It doesn’t have a Nokia Facebook/Twitter app and navigation still lacks voice prompts (As well as other Ovi Maps [...]

Video: Nokia Promos – What is Clear Black Display (CBD?) Wouldn't you want blacker blacks, whiter whites, brighter colours and better battery life?
Clear Black Display was possibly the most surprising thing that came out of Nokia World. Yes there was the E7 itself but we kinda knew about that already. CBD was immediately shown by Engadget themselves to have the edge over SUPER AMOLED in 3GS and IPS LD in iPhone 4. Most recently, GSM Arena has [...]
Video: NOKIA N8 running SoundTrckr Internet Radio (similar to Pandora) The first Geosocial Internet Radio (BetaLabs)
We’ve received some comments asking for internet radio like Pandora for the Nokia N8 as this was apparently a deal breaker for them. Well look no further! Fancy some music streaming?

Video: Nokia N8 – See More with HD! (Weirdest Nokia Video "My SuperFun House Party" explained – and it's awesome!)
A couple of days ago, we prematurely came across some videos from the Nokia France Channel that was awfully weird and didn’t make sense. We thought it could have been a leaked promo for the FX studios app that brings hollywood style visual effects to the N8. It turns out to be a HD campaign [...]
Video: Single Finger Pinch Zooming on N8
Ever come across this bug? Is it a bug? If I knew how to activate it, I’d find it really useful if I were using the N8 one handed and needed to zoom in. I do miss spiral zooming on N900. As odd as that looked. As for now, it’s a random spontaneous thing. It [...]
