Mobile Web server, TD-SCDMA on S60, Nokia Developer Days (Budapest) and Nokia hardware testing
On November 19th, I and a couple of other guest journalists were invited to spend the day at Nokia's Testing Labs at Farnborough, UK, being given a tour of the facilities and numerous demonstrations along the way. The aim was to spread the word about how rigorously Nokia test their handsets' hardware and on that front I was extremely impressed.
This video podcast is compiled with footage from the tour (taken on the N93 and N82, for those that are interested) and will let anyone who's interested spend 35 minutes or so being 'on the tour' with me. Light and noise conditions weren't ideal in some of the labs, but you can still clearly see and hear what was going on. Enjoy.

Rafe talks about the INQ1, Steve on the N96, everyone on the E63 and Rafe on Qt.
Rafe, Steve and Ewan talk about gloom and doom. Canalys numbers, N-Gage and UIQ. Doom!
In our last video interview snatched from the floor at the Smartphone Show 2008, I chat to George Henne from NS Basic and Lew Shepherdson from StyleTap about their programming tools and Palm runtime for S60 phones.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (also known as Tube) is Nokia's first S60 touch enabled phone. It is a mid-range, music focused phone, running S60 5th Edition on Symbian OS 9.2, with a 3.2 megapixel camera, integrated GPS, WiFi and HSDPA connectivity, and a 3.2 inch touch screen. These photos come from a pre-production model.
Rafe, Steve and Ewan chat about the N96 and other news from the ecosystem. There also further discussion on UIQ following on from the Symbian Smartphone Show.
I also met up with Lori Sylvia and Richard Kinder of Red Bend at the Smartphone Show 2008, talking about their FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) software that's included in the latest Nokia S60 phones.
