A 2012 sighting of... the Nokia 7700! All About Symbian

CoverUp returns to the Nokia Store All About Symbian
The story so far. Music album art has been a nightmare on Symbian since day one. CoverUp appeared in 2010 to solve the problem by raiding Amazon's pages for matching bitmaps that could then be poked into Music player's library. It worked well, but the developer (Sebastian Brannstro...
