Insight 23 - Adobe, MOSH, Nokia in the US
It's Insight time, covering News, the MOSH ad-sponsored games, Adobe Open Screen Project and we (shock, horror) actually try to answer a user-submitted question, talking about whether Nokia could be more aggressive in the US market. Plus, Rafe reports back from the Nokia Design Studio Day in London. You can listen (and subscribe) to Insight number 23 here.
Adobe Open Screen project
Yesterday Adobe announced the details of the Open Screen Project. This will see Adobe, in conjunction with partners, create a consistent 'rich Internet experience' across televisions, PCs, mobile devices and other consumer electronics using future evolutions of its Flash and Air platforms. Adobe will open up Flash and Air by releasing more technical information and removing license fees and format restrictions for Air and Flash.
Revival revived - and terrific it is too
Attila's been playing Herocraft's newly revived (from the Java version) Revival, now for S60 and UIQ, non-stop since it came out. Here's his review of this sumptuous and unsurprisingly deep strategy game. Revival isn't for quick-fix players, but Sid Meier fans will leap for joy.
MyStrands Social Player Updated, includes Last.FM Support
Strands, The team behind the social music site, MyStrands, have updated their Social Music Player for Symbian S60 (and java) equipped phones. Picking up all the music on your device, Strands can recommend similar artists and songs, match you up with users that have similar musical tastes, and helps you navigate your musical neighbourhood. Conscious that other services are available, the big news for this update is the inclusion of support for UK based Last.FM, and the sending of your track information to that service as well.
Software That's Worth Paying For
Free software for our smartphones has never been so abundant. From Nokia's stream of useful freebies to technology demos from big companies to small utilities from home developers, everything now seems to be free. With so much freeware around, is there still a market for paid-for software? And which would be the top picks of the All About Symbian team, for both S60 3rd Edition and UIQ 3-powered smartphones?
Win a Motorola Z10 and £10,000
Yep, Ben from IntoMobile has spotted this Motorola competition for (very) amateur film makers. Interestingly, the second 'round' of the final (the bit to actually win the £10k) has to be shot on the Z10 itself. Very cool on all fronts.
Skype for mobile in beta - runs on S60 and UIQ
Skype has released an official mobile client. The application is written in Java so it should run on a variety of phones including both S60 and UIQ phones. The application uses an Internet connection for status and contact information and for Skype chat (instant messaging). However while the application does allows you to make calls, it routes them through the PSTN (phone) network rather than over the Internet. This means you will be charged for both incoming and outgoing calls of any type. Read on for more.
Moto Z10 due in O2 shops and SIM-free imminently
While I'm posting Motorola UIQ 3 news, I thought I'd mention this post from last week at MotoSmartphones, saying that by mid week this week (i.e. about now) the UIQ 3-powered Z10 should be available in O2 shops and also SIM-free in the usual places. Shout if you manage to find one in the flesh!
Moto outs the Z8m in Korea
It seems that Motorola just announced a tweak to the venerable UIQ 3-powered Z8 'kick-slide' smartphone. At an event in Korea, the Z8m was unveiled, although details are still sketchy. It seems that there might be 4GB of built-in flash memory, in addition to an expansion slot. Can anyone fill in more detail on this story?
