Connected Symbian S60-based mobile devices allow you to watch video clips and even live TV, and create and share your own video clips directly with friends or through the Internet. As a software developer, you can take advantage of the open platforms and tools offered by the S60 platform to create new applications and services that leverage existing device features or extend the functionality of S60 devices and platforms.
Following the release of the Mobile music developer guide, Forum Nokia recently released the same type of guide, this time explaining video development on S60 platform. The new document presents a technical overview of the architecture and API’s that support video development on the S60 platform. Once you have a general understanding of what is possible and how to do it, you can consult the detailed technical documentation available through Forum Nokia to turn your product and service concepts into reality. Here’s the link to the Forum Nokia page.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
