Rafe Blandford from All About Symbian reports that the Nokia E7 has received a firmware update to v14.002. To clarify any confusion (as it seems NOT all S^3 handsets will be receiving identically named firmware), Rafe says: The E7’s version 14.002 firmware is also known as PR 1.1. However this is not the same as […]

Copy And Paste – Symbian users didn’t feel this was really a feature to shout about until Apple made it the next big thing in an iOS update. To be fair, although Symbian has had this for much longer, iOS did make it easier to perform. They polished it for Joe Average. Now you’d think […]

Tommi Laukanen strikes again with yet another awesome step forward with QT QML projects. Inspired by Flipboard for iPad (which he says would be the one app to make him get one) he’s sought about to mimic Flipboard’s page turn effect with QML script. Flipboard for iPad looks great huh?
