[3GSM] multimedia extra, extra...

icon

While waiting for Rafe to get to some decent connectivity and get his own audio and video content uploaded, I'm just rounding up some links of interest from other people's coverage of 3GSM. MobileMania have a great photo spread on the Nokia E90, SymbianFreak have a video walkthrough of watching YouTube on an N95, RingNokia have a video of the E90 in action, the E-series blog have some great E61i pictures and (it's always worthwhile keeping an eye on the competition) here's a video walk through of the new features in Windows Mobile 6.0, announced at the show.

Sony Ericsson Confirm UIQ Licencing

icon
Probably a touch of formality after completing their accquisition, but Sony Ericsson have confirmed that UIQ is still being licenced to other manufacturers if they so wish. In addition to this they're also inviting other phone vendors to become share holders in UIQ (which is currently 100% owned by Sony Ericsson). An interesting move, but will anyone take them up on it?

Smart2Go finally available!

icon
Nokia's free Smart2Go maps and routing service for S60 and Windows Mobile smartphones has finally gone live, only 3 days late and it would be churlish to complain too much. There will be a review along fairly shortly, I'd expect, once any of the AAS team get a chance to draw breath...

[3GSM] microSD hits 4GB and SD kits finally a reality

icon
SanDisk, the most respected manufacturer or add-on flash memory for smartphones and handhelds, has just announced the first 4GB microSD card (staggering, if you've seen the size of microSD media) and has also announced the first multi-adapter SD kit, the likes of which we'll be seeing more and more of in shops. Details below.

[3GSM] Symbian Announce Q4 2006 Results

icon
Symbian's press briefing in Barcelona featured the latest round of financial numbers. The headline numbers they want you all to know is that last year there were 51.7m Symbian OS powered phones shipped; a grand total of 110 million devices since Symbian was formed; and 6896 third party applications available (all numbers as of Dec 31 2006). I always find it interesting that Symbian, as a private company, does not have to release these numbers, but they continue to do so. As CEO Nigel Clifford said at the Smartphones Show, it keeps everyone on their toes. And it also helps to remind everyone that Symbian isn't just another commodity on the 'parts required' list in Finland.

Local search now truly local... at last

icon
You may remember a news post a week or so ago about Nokia integrating their 'Search' tool (which accessed online databases like Yahoo) and their 'Search' tool (which lets you search for any text content on your device)? Yes, the names were confusing everyone and they were supposedly combined. Except noone told their web team and it hasn't been available. But it is now. Recommended for all.

[3GSM] Improved Messaging with the E61i Announced

icon
 Having proved surprisingly popular, the updated Qwerty range from Nokia now welcomes the E61. It's clearly an evolutionary approach, with the joystick replaced by a d-pad and the new application keys the most obvious tweaks. With the addition of a camera there must be some demand from the consumer market as well as the Enterprise. Full pictures and details below. [updated]

[3GSM] No More Joy... Meet the KS10

icon
Rafe's had some hands on time with the new devices from 3GSM, and when he finds even a trickly of bandwidth we'll have his reports. In the meantime, some of his pictures have made it through, and there is an immediate bit of trivia, with the previously announced LG Joy being relabelled as the LG KS10. Picture ater the break...

[3GSM] Show Me The Way Home, with the Nokia 6110

icon
Nokia 6110More from Nokia at Barcelona, this time with the Nokia 6110 Navigator - a S60 powered device that has GPS built in. alongside the more high-end N95 and E90, the 6110 has GPS and location based services as the focal marketing point. With HSDPA, WCDMA and GSM connectivity (there's no Wi-Fi), it's going to be interesting how the companies that have built up a niche market with GPS (such as Tom Tom) feel about Nokia's entry into their space with their own bundled software. Availability is late Q2 2007.
