Last week, Nokia Beta Labs released a very cool new application called Nokia Chat. As you might guess, Nokia Chat is an IM application, but that just starts to scratch the surface as there are also additional layers of presence and location. Unlike some apps you might have tried like Jaiku or twitter, [...]

While I won’t be waiting in line for the 3G iPhone, I’ll probably still install Shozu as soon as it’s available as being able to share my media to any site is a core function of what I do with any smartphone. It’s good to see Shozu is releasing the feature complete iPhone version [...]

Pretty cool stuff …
The latest S60 update (Feature Pack 2) supports firmware over the air and today I had a chance to test it out. Using a wifi connection [...]

Remember Yahoo OneConnect?

I’m thinking this might be DOA at this point. Sure the landing page says Q2 2008, but it’s been a rocky road at Yahoo recently and I can’t imagine this project is high on the priority list.
I hope it’s still moving forward regardless as I think this is the only mobile [...]

Yes I know the iPhone has no keyboard, so let’s just put that to the side….
There are however plenty of other devices that can take advantage of the excellent work that’s been done on the updated mobile UI which do have keyboards … like the Nokia N810 which runs a Mozilla browser and the N95 [...]

In case you’ve missed it, people can’t stop talking about either Twitter or the 3G iPhone. I fond both clutter up my feed reading daily… Perhaps here’s why:

Twitter is apparently more interesting.

Signed up, posted. Added a friend, commented. Failed to import my contacts from gmail - actually could not even load my address book … then went down. There’s no mobile version and it’s a two vertical paned UI. If you need to sign up just to reserve your name, then enjoy.

I’ve just started to use Spinvox recently but immediately see the value in how it works. If you are not familiar with the service, you forward your voicemail over in a similar manner to the way you would with GrandCentral and Spinvox handles the rest.
Once your call diverts are configured you should [...]

Thanks to End User, I’ve just learned about Piclens which is one of the coolest Firefox extensions I’ve seen. It takes the images on page and lets you view in fullscreen mode… something you should see for yourself. Combined with Flickr (or the image site of your choosing), Piclens is amazing!

I just caught a post in my reader, which is a bit alarming and rather disappointing if true.
There has not been a checkin to the S60 port in over 8 months… As far as I can tell, the port is dead… Does anyone know the status of the port? If the port is in fact [...]

Yahoo announced OneConnect an amazingly cool service today that looks like a truly killer mobile social connector.  OneConnect will allow you to view and participate across social networks in a a way much like Jaiku does now - though it seems like it will work for most of your existing social services.  It´s not ready for release [...]

Devicescape received a nice update to 2.0 today and allows secure and simple access to paid and free hotspots automatically. I’ve added a few hidden APs from the office as well as my home network to my list to start combined with my Boingo Mobile and FON credentials so I can easily connect my [...]

If you browse to the Google Mobile Site on your blackberry today, you’ll see a Sync app at the bottom of the page. Once installed your Blackberry will be able to automatically sync all your calendars to the Google Calendar in the sky. Initially it syncs your main calendar, but it’s easy with [...]

I’m not sure what your experience has been but Gmail IMAP is one slow ass system. On my MacBookPro, I left it running overnight to try and sync everything, but even today I am finding my system feels as though it is underwater. I see beach-balls and find navigating even my inbox to [...]

I learned today that the N95 actually has an accelerometer and that rotateMe 2.0 will arrive next month ready to take full advantage of this making your device much easier to use as you maneuver through multimedia, maps and the web — something I do every day!

This sounds very cool…

In an exclusive interview with Develop, Nokia’s games boss Mark Ollila has revealed that the company is hard at work on multiple cross-platform games for its revamped N-Gage platform.

Earlier this year it emerged the company was developing a new game in association with studio RedLynx which could be played on both [...]

I am sitting on a plane en route to the Web 2.0 Summit writing this on my N800, enjoying my time to write some things wihout distraction… aside from the guy in 11B reading this over my shoulder!

About two weeks ago, Tommi at the S60 Applications blog asked for feedback on the Nokia Beta [...]

As we prepare for the eventual Google Mobile experience, there are a few updates that are worth noting.

First, last week Google released a terrific update to their Maps application on Friday, which now runs native on S60 devices. You can download from your phone via http://www.google.com/gmm. Speed seems much improved in loading [...]

If you use a Nokia N-Series you are probably familiar with the web upload (now Share Online 3.0 beta) feature on your phone to share content to Flickr and Vox. You may have also heard of and tried Shozu or the recently updated for S60v3 Zonetag. Shozu is the only application that easily [...]
