Digital Graffiti?

icon
Hey, it must be UIQ week! Ewan's been reviewing Scribbler for UIQ 3 - a free form, inifinite paper note-taker. It's a cool idea for a touch-based smartphone and I think it's a keeper on Ewan's P990. Highlights are the strip overview and the export to image files.

Scare story from Big Brother Apple?

icon
The next time you think Symbian Signed is a major problem on your otherwise wide-open smartphone, consider the world of Apple's iPhone. This scare story tells how even one unauthorised ringtone was enough for Apple to refuse honouring the device's warranty. Gulp. Hey, Apple, remember that famous Big Brother video you wanted to smash up? Careful you don't turn into the same character...

All About Symbian... in Chinese?

icon
Simlife, the makers of the excellent 90% scoring megagame Lament Island, were apparently so pleased with our review that they've translated it into Chinese! We can't read Chinese so we can't verify its accuracy, but you can read the original English review here, and the apparent Chinese translation here. Also, for those of you who enjoyed the game's music, you can download some tracks and samples from the official site.

Free beer and Python

icon
These accelerometer applications are getting more and more fun - PyPiwo runs on the N95 et al and provides free water or beer, you will have fun with this down the pub, I absolutely guarantee. And it's written in my current favourite development system, Python, showing what can be done with this RAD (Rapid Application Development) language.

Music Will Be Big In The Future... But How Big?

icon
The Juniper Research paper on mobile music has been getting a lot of comment today (see SMSTextNews and MocoNews) and it's easy to see why. Reporting that the market in 4 years time for subscription music service will reach $3.5 billion for subscription services, and $2.8 billion for downloaded original content is sure to generate headlines. The honest truth is nobody knows what is going to happen with music. What we see today is not the market in six months time, let alone four years. Look at the game-changing Comes With Music program from Nokia. Whoever can guess the right landscape may make money, but for now, Research Firms doing big extrapolations are clearly delivering a profit.

Yahoo! Go! 3.0!

icon
Yup, it's out. A whole new version of the free Yahoo! Go! on-device portal. Version 2 was actually pretty handy, including mapping and routing and support for built-in GPS. Version 3.0 claims better email handling, more news, satellite maps, live traffic. Sounds a bit like Google's portfolio, except that here it's all in the one Java application. Worth a try? Type get.go.yahoo.com into your smartphone's browser.
