AAS's Attila Katona is perhaps the ultimate smartphone power user [shouts of "foul" from Asri, but....] and seemed the perfect person to put SmartphoneWare's new Tracker utility for S60 3rd Edition to the test.

Steve Litchfield muses on the Java games scene and reviews two smartphone titles that have caught his eye, with FreeFlight, a full 3D flight sim and Odesys Backgammon Lite, a polished Backgammon implementation.
