Another link to the prolific Shaun McGill, but here he shows how to add extra fonts to Mobipocket Reader on S60 3rd Edition. Pretty cool, I wonder if there's a way to tinker with the main system fonts though? Comments welcome.
Ewan's been struck by the buzz surrounding Papyrus and decided to try it for real. How does this S60 Calendar replacement fare on Ewan's E61 and N91? Find out in his review.
It's been a bit of an N93 week here. I took the Golf Edition out to the driving range at the weekend and was quite impressed by the vision behind Pro Session Golf and its implementation, letting me analyse a real world golf swing and find things that need addressing.
There's an interesting clip over on WOM World by Mike Hodgkinson, the 'director' of the totally N93-shot Rob Dickenson music video. Impressive stuff, from shooting underwater, shooting with various home made tripods and shooting aerial shots from helium baloons... all from a smartphone.
Ordance Survey Ireland will shortly make OSi Streetsmart for Dublin, an interactive mapping and information solution, available through its website. Streetsmart has been developed for Ordnance Survey Ireland (mapping) in partnership with Fáilte Ireland (point of interest database) by Augmentra, the same company who has developed the ViewRanger software.
I've been watching Tom Cruise's latest on the ultimate geek platform, the Nokia N93. What's behind Nokia's venture into movie-themed smartphones and what sort of job have they done in terms of video quality? Here's my review.
Ex-PDA refugees who are still struggling with the relatively limited feature set of S60's Calendar might like to note that Calendar-replacement Papyrus has just scored another major release. There will be an official review along shortly from Ewan, too, watch this space.
Ganesh Sivaraman, from Nokia's S60 3rd Edition Web browser team, is the guest of the Voice of S60, with a 16 minute audio interview, mainly talking about the browser and what you can expect in the coming year or so. Why not listen in?
The S60 world's favourite utility, Screenshot, is now officially Symbian Signed and has an extra shortcut key, at long last. Is 2.45 the definitive version?
Nordic Wireless Watch have rolled up their sleeves and produced an interesting set of graphics benchmarks, mainly of Symbian OS smartphones. Almost inevitably the Nokia N93 wins by a country mile, but there are plenty of other interesting numbers here. Via WOM World.
Released today is Smartphones Show 18, with the main Symbian OS interest being my latest ratings of the 'top 10 smartphones', with the N93 coming in at number 1, plus video tips for the same device, in case you missed the YouTube link for this a week or so ago. The Smartphones Show can be viewed on any PC, Mac, PSP, iPod or Symbian OS 9 smartphone.
TomeRaider, a fabulous reference/database tool from the PDA world is now available for beta test, apparently, for S60 3rd Edition. Or would be if it would install - email the developers and we're sure this app will eventually make it fully onto S60. Via Shaun.
