NesGame caught my eye, not because it's another NES emulator for Series 60, but because of the limitations it has for it's "demo before purchase" part of the shareware cycle. It allows a maximum of 50 key presses before it asks for the reg code. I'm not sure this is enough time to evalutate the app and get people convinced to buy it.
There's a rumour that every third Palm OS applicaiton is a full screen clock. Luckily Symbian seems to have avoided this curse, until now. There's yet another version of SuDoKu available for Series 60 now - Twisted Coding's SuDoKu Fun - with a set number of puzzles, the same user interface appearance (just some different colours). Come on guys, is it too much to ask for some innovation on the basic principle?
Well worth looking out if you're not "a local" is this London A to Z from Lumisoft. Based on the official London Street maps, it should be helpful if anyone is coming over for the All About Symbian Pub Meet in London (jsut before some Symbian Expo Smartphone Show thing).
Orange have announced the date of the next in the series of their popular Code Camps. The Code Camp will take place in Opio (near Nice) in France from 17th - 19th October. It is a chance for developers to have face to face contact with both Orange and the sponosring companies such as Symbian, Sony Ericsson and UIQ. The camp lasts for 72 hours, with 24 hour food on offer and there is an opening Pow-Wow and over 70 sessions (both technical and commercial).
Nokia has created some 'computer gaming deckchairs'. "The hi tech deckchairs come equipped with N-Gage games phones on extendable arms, a mini parasol to avoid sun glare and drinks coolers allowing gamers to get their quick fix of gaming while away sunning themselves on the beach. " The prototype Nokia N-Gage deckchairs will apparently be touring festivals and beaches during the summer. Here (and here) are the pics.
And now the reason Nokia are showing up at GenCon 2005 is clear. Warhammer 40000: Glory in Death is coming to the N-Gage. Details are scarse at the moment (just the press release, which follows) but with big names like this being signed up for the 2006 calendar, the death of the N-Gage is not quite with us yet.
