Finnish paper Taloussanomat published a rumour that the Nokia N91 (the iPod like Nseries music phone) would come with iTunes support. However Nokia were quick to deny the rumour, but did point out it would be straight forward to add support via the iTunes software. Indeed one of the key selling points of the N91 is that it will not be tied to any one service. Users will be able to add music themselves from their own collections, but there are also likely to be several services available. Indications point towards services powered by Loudeye with subscription services such as Naspter and Yahoo Music Unlimited also possibilities.
O'Reilly have launched the Nokia Smartphone Hacks book (thanks for the link Matt), with 100 hints and topics over the whole range of Nokia devices. Given Nokia are the recognised brandname in the USA and not Symbian it's an understandable title, but I suspect UIQ owners might wonder where they can go for hacks. Any advice?
Steve takes a look at iSilo, a tool aimed at packing up websites into a single file for use on a mobile device. iSilio has a long history and originated in the Palm world, see what Steve thinks of the Series 60 version in his review.
Fresh from Nokia and partners, this post in the forums gives you the latest link(s). Highlights? Snowboard 3D, once you get past the fact that it's written in Java... and dare we mention it works fine on the 6630 as well?
SplashData's SpalshID is being offered as a free client on your Series 60 phone. SplashData are obviously hoping that enough people using the secure databank app will purchase the desktop companion to amke the exercise worthwhile. Looking at the marketplace, I think they may be right.
It might be another "alarms based on Cell Tower ID numbers" application, but Geominder looks to have a nice interface with lots of pretty pictures. Well the underlying code on all these apps must be similar so its all in the presentation now. See if you agree.
Think you're a football nut? Well, as new seasons start the world over, Sport Trivia's Football Trivia might be just the thing to turn you into the Stats God on the terracing. Our US friends might be better off with the Baseball version, even though it's just a game of Rounders with padding. Update:
Agile Messenger is switching to a small monthly subscription fee, reports Agile Mobile. At three euros a month (taken out your mobile bill), it's not a huge amount for what is a very slick piece of software, but I suspect a lot of people are going to feel a bit aggreived. Richard puts it a bit more into perspective over at his blog - basically they had to start making money at some point!
HanDBase is a popular database application for Palm and POket PC devices, and it's now coming to Symbian. With a desktop client to allow you to enter data before moving it to your Series 60 to enter data and manipulate on the site. More on the homepage.
Bowling Master is a lovely looking game of ten-pin bowling for your Series 60 devices. With one handed (even one key) play and realistic physics, you can while away your time knocking things over. Perfect.
In a recent 'report' ARCchart said that Nokia may be thinking about moving to Linux as the base OS for Series 60 and they may therefore be about to dump Symbian. Rafe thinks that they are off their trolley...
Psiloc have announced the release of the innovative Mobile Mouse for Series 60 (all phones). The phone connects to the PC over Bluetooth (no additionally PC software needed). The PC mouse can be controlled using the navigation keys (for direction) and softkeys (for mouse clicks). Even more impressive technically is camera mode which allows you to control the mouse by moving the phone around (the camera detects the movement and translates this to mouse movement). The software is available from Psiloc's site for 10 Euros.
