The Mobile Persuasion Conference is a full-day, eight session conference hosted by the Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab featuring expert talks and panels on how mobile technology can change attitudes and behaviors. The first Mobile Persuasion Conference…
Why aren’t you built in: Turn my camera phone in to a webcam

Very simple to install and configure, Mobiola Web Camera consists of two software components: (1) a client application that resides on the phone,…
Phil got all the S60 bloggers together to help build a strategy
So last week I hosted our first ever "S60 Blogger Strategy Session". We met for an afternoon of info-sharing, brainstorming, and strategizing (I don’t that’s a real word) – then off to downtown Helsinki for some drinks and dinner. About 13 people in attendance, only two of our bloggers were unable to attend, which is…
Tommi wants his fellow Nokia employees to tell him what to blog about
Straight from Tommi’s blog: As you know, I have recently started in a new job position, and I still want this blog to be valuable for both the readers (=end-users) and for Nokia/S60. Or to be accurate, I want to make it even better. But how to do it in practice? There’s one thing that…
N-Gage 2.0 might be a bigger deal then I originally thought
What’s happening with Nokia’s next-generation N-Gage platform? Nokia announced plans to put N-Gage inside a bunch of its multimedia handsets at E3 2005, and then showcased a number of games at the same show last year. But since our interview with Nokia’s Jaakko Kaidesoja in November, it’s gone a bit quiet. Until now, at least.…
Is this a screenshot from the Nokia E90?
Tomasz from the My-Symbian forum just sent me this screen shot: (Click the image to see it in its full 800×352 resolution) The raging debate about this pictures legitimacy is being conducted in this My-Symbian thread. What do you guys think? Personally I hate the inverted battery meter, but everything else looks pretty swell. Thank…
25.4% of the phones sold in Russia in 2006 were made by Nokia!
Nokia didn’t post their 2006 4Q results by country, they did it by continent. Data from Russia however has just been published: The Russian sales of Finnish telecommunications equipment producer Nokia rose 7.7% on the year to 1.518 billion euros in 2006, the company said in a press release Monday. In Russia, Nokia accounted for…
Symbian One reviews Quickoffice 4
Quite possibly the most important S60 application out there, Quickoffice, was just given a massive write up over at Symbian One. Part one only covers Quickword, but it’s so exhaustive that snipping out pieces for quotes wouldn’t do it justice. Check it out over at Symbian One, complete with lots of screenshots I’m looking forward…
Symbian Freak got a Nokia N95 and has posted his initial impressions
To give you an idea of what this is and isn’t: First of all I have to say that this not going to be a regular review, not even hands on preview and I am not going to write one long piece, this is going to be something like various impressions of a power user.…
OS News reviews the Nokia 6288
Some highlights: The first impression of the phone is that it is a bit bulky (thick), although it’s width and height are completely normal. Unfortunately though, there is no option to set the actual default backlight strength so when the screen is ON, it’s always full-powered. The S40 devices have a "premium" music application that…
