It's good to see that Nokia's S60 is embracing the potential of video, with tutorials for beginners on their new YouTube channel, looking at Multitasking, Browsing and Downloading. Why not give them some feedback in the YouTube movie comments?
In the last Friday gaming spot before N-Gage launches (well, that's the theory anyway), I bring you Attila's review of Stolen in 60 Seconds, plus Krisse's review of Quartz 2, both top notch games with wide Symbian OS device compatibility. Have fun with them and let's hope we have even bigger fish to fry come next Friday and Christmas!
Ah yes, Krisse does like to roundup Christmas/wintery games each year, with a couple of new entrants this time round. There are games for all Symbian platforms, most of them are free, and at the very least they should keep you going until Nokia decides to throw the switch on their N-Gage store...
Shhh.... don't tell Rafe I told you this ( 8-) as you know, we do like you to buy software through our Handango-run store, so that we get commission to keep AAS going), but... Handango have one of their 'Free App Friday' offers on today only, giving away the S60 Calendar replacement Papyrus - completely free ! Thought you'd want to know, anyway...
A while back, Proporta kindly sent over the 'Freedom Mini GPS' for review, a tiny 30g GPS that could happily sit in the tiniest pocket or on a key ring - and I just hadn't got round to writing about it yet. Time moves on and there's now a 20g "Freedom Keychain GPS SiRF Receiver" that's even smaller. If you want to get your hands on either of these accessories, read on...
You may remember Krisse's coverage of the addictive TibiaME, back in the summer - a massive multiplayer RPG for S60? Well, it's now had a big update, with wider J2ME compatibility, a new world, new features and over-the-air graphics upgrades. Krisse brings us a full report on what's new in TibiaME and what still needs work.
In the second part of a Friday game double-bill, Attila Katona reviews Robo, also for (nearly) every Symbian OS platform known to man. It's a level-based puzzler in isometric 3D and Robo is really rather good in its cute, pixellated way.
It's been around for a while for S60 and UIQ (in all varieties), but Krisse brings us a detailed review of scrolling shoot 'em up Blazar in the modern age. That'll be the 'we're all kicking our heels, seeing what else is out there, waiting for N-Gage to be properly available' age, then....
Aha! Nokia PC Suite just added Vista Calendar sync, along with a more 'modern' (read "slower and uses more RAM"!) interface and extra drag and drop file capabilities, plus the usual bug fixes. Get the new v6.85 here. (via Vaibhav)
