Interesting to see CNET interviewing Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer: "When it comes to smart devices, there really aren't that many players. Basically, you have Nokia/Symbian, you've got us." Read on for the full quote....
Now this is the best smartphone to receive for Christmas. Only 100g and isn't platform-locked or SIM-locked. And it's only 15 Euros... If anyone out there wants to buy a gift for a certain someone on the AAS editorial team...
Back in August, we gave you an idea of what we considered some of the best picks of software for S60 third edition. Since then developers have been busy, and the list has now doubled in size as Steve updates our essential software picks. And do feel free to tell us what we've forgotten...

I'm sorry, I just can't help it. It's 'The Emperor's New Clothes' all over again. But.... "What's the fuss all about?" Push email.
