Here’s something for the older folks among our readers, who at the same time own a Symbian S60-powered smartphone. A new version of the Commodore C64 emulator, Frodo, for S60 3rd Edition has been released.
Frodo 1.5 is better than ever, and now includes support for accelerometers in selected phones like the Nokia N95, N95 8GB, N82, N96 and others. As a result, when playing some C64 classic titles, you can move your phone around to simulate a joystick or steering wheel. In addition, there’s also an on-screen keyboard and vibration support included in the mix.
Aside from the S60 3rd edition, Frodo is also available for other platforms — including S60 1st and 2nd edition, Series 80 and UIQ. A short demo video follows after the jump, and more information is available from the official website.

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.
