Following the keynote presentation, I had a chance to briefly interview Elisabet Melin, UIQ’s VP of marketing, and Naresh Chouhan, Head of Developer Programs at UIQ. The duo was quite pleasant, answering all of my question without (unfortunately) revealing much about the future UIQ devices. Yeah, that was kinda expected…

Google announces new ‘My Location’ service for Google Maps Mobile – find yourself without GPS
Maps are great if you know exactly where you’re currently located, but what good are they when you’re completely lost?

S60 Users: Google Maps recieves an upgrade, virtual GPS added!

Starting with the next version of S60, 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2, a new technology called Widgets will be enabled. Widgets is a fancy way of saying you will be able to build applications using XHTML, CSS and JavaScript for S60. The web run time, the engine that powers the S60 browser, will be the…
Handy Taskman Contest Results!
Yesterday was Monday, but it sure felt like a Sunday to me! The 24 hour delay in results aside, it was fantastic that we received over 70 submissions at the Handy Taskman Contest page. A lot of the ideas were interesting and I wish I had 5 lisences to give, but sadly I have to…
