I think its a nice and neat ... but only works on my N95 not my E61. It's weird that nokia isn't putting this on all their S60 phones (it's technically easy). It's unreasonable for nokia to wait for the itunes store to be operational before moving their butts.

I think this is great news. This is stuff that's available on all the S60 phones.
I'm still utterly clueless why not all the S60 phones that are powerful enough to support the new N-Gage platform do it. For example, the upcoming 6220 Classic got the same CPU as N81 and much more RAM but still isn't on the list of compatible N-Gage devices, and I find that very confusing.
The whole point of this next-gen N-Gage is that it's a platform for multiple phones, reaching out for the largest potantial audience possible. But then they don't do that, and instead restrict it to only a select few S60 phones. And it really doesn't make any sense to me.

Nothing new on my 3-UK N95 Classic. Usual gumph only sadly.
Great, except that it could be a little confusing vis a vis the N-Gage platform. Risk of dilution given that N-Gage too includes many "casual" games. But then again, integrating all this to the N-Gage app would also dilute the N-Gage platform.

Nokia Download! extended for games and leisure
In Download! on most Nseries devices there's: a new games catalog 'Try for free', a collection of fairly decent native [or at least ported through a runtime] S60 games from 3D Arts; Shockwave Minis, mini-games across a variety of genres; a new catalog of Jamster games (probably all Java); SNAP Arcade, in-house Java game creations from Nokia; 'Just for Laughs', a 'fun' video player and downloader. Can you spot something else new in your device/market? Lots of screenshots below, by the way.
