We expect to see further such announcements in the future as more services move to an advertising funded model.

...just...can't....resist...posting.... these links. The famous Light Sabre has been upgraded to 1.3, with auto-activation on slide opening and much more. See Ricky Cadden's blog for details but here's the download link. Vrmmmm!!!
Yes, you know all about S60 games and you know about the upcoming N-Gage titles, but what about all those games tucked away in publisher folders inside your Download! application? Medal of Honour, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, etc? In the interests of experimentation, I bought a batch and here report back on J2ME games via Download! Your comments welcome, as always!
Psiloc's irRemote has been one of the most eagerly awaited utilities for S60 3rd Edition and Symbian In Motion reports that it's now finished. Assuming your S60 smartphone has an infrared port (quite likely), your smartphone can then be a valid backup in case a genuine TV or a/v remote goes missing.
S60.com do like to license and give away free utilities every now and then. This month, they've just put up Aglaya's Call Filter (normally $9), as the name suggests a piece of software to filter through just the calls you want, according to rules that you set up. It's compatible with all S60 3rd Edition smartphones. Grab it while you can! (you do need to 'sign in' for the link to work)

It's not every day that a reader points out a utility that I've never even heard of. In this case, thanks to Garvin for pointing out LightNotepad, a freeware plain text editor for S60 3rd Edition. It works on any device, but is especially useful for editing HTML, javascript and other text-based languages on keyboard-equipped devices like the Nokia E90 and E61i. Grab it now! What's that? You can't speak Finnish? You need the English page then 8-)
I know it's desperately sad, but it's also jaw-droppingly cool at the same time. LightSabre 1.1 just got released (thanks, Ricky) for the Nokia N95, with faster response and green screen power. It'll be the talk of the Office Christmas party, I tell you...
PiZero is a genius, I tell you. His latest S60 theme, simply titled 'Gold' is stunning and is now standard equipment on the editorial E90 and N95. Why not give your smartphone the gilt-edge treatment, too? Oh, and if you like his themes, use the PayPal button to donate the price of a beer - I did. Party on, PiZero!
