Ewan's topical picks...
Lots of little tiny programs are ready to invade your S60 handset. The widgets are coming! The widgets are coming! Ewan takes a look at some of those he finds most useful. Rafe explains some of the technical details.
Steve Litchfield shares a little of his sat-nav experience, hopefully of help to anybody suffering from slow GPS locks, especially under S60 and Nokia Maps, and frustrated by the apparent 'unreliability' of mobile navigation software.
Nokia is rather proud of their efforts with Web Run-Time, a system for developing applications for S60 using web technologies. Ewan takes a look at why they are so proud, and what it means for the developer experience on S60.
