Mark found this new website called "What’s become of computers?" and it appears to be a spoof of the infamous "It’s what computers have become" slogan that the N Series folks are using. It is so corny that it put a smile on my face, therefore I declare it a success! A break dancing guy…
S60 Networking Stack: A huge disorganized mess
First it began with PhoneBoy ranting about how the access point experience is not the same across multiple Nokia devices.
