More and more online data storage services are becoming available, letting you access anything from emails to video through the web rather than storing it on any particular device.

Nokia has added ThinPrint's Content Beamer to their Download! system (I checked on the E90 - comments welcome for other devices).

The core PC Suite modules are around 25MB, plus maybe another 25MB for Lifeblog, the Map Loader and Software Updater. Read on for my rant and some links... [Update: v2.0 beta has now been withdrawn]
Maybe I missed an announcement, but Nokia seems to have just overhauled their already Flashy (pun most definitely intended) Nseries web site.

More podcasting from the recent Nokia Go:Play event as Rafe and Ewan get their hands on the new S60 devices and chat to two of the Nokia team members behind them. First up is the N95 8GB, while the Ovi-focussed N81 takes up the second half of AAS audio podcast number 33.
Symbian has finalised its agenda and show layout for its annual Smartphone Show in London, on 16-17th October at the ExCeL centre. Listed below are some of the last minute speaker sign ups and some thumbnails, plus links. The show is free to attend, as is the AAS pub meet on the evening of the 15th, details to be announced, but the prize list is pretty impressive....(!)

Ho yes. Another year has flown by and we present the All About Symbian As-Official-As-It-Gets 2007 Pub Meet. Prizes, Demos, Speakers, Chit-chat and good beer. In case you haven't been to one before, here's AAS video podcast 21, in which I waffle on about what to expect from the pub meet and some other minor event happening the next day over in Docklands...
