Catching up on my RSS feeds, been reading since 5 AM and I’m still at 1000+ I noticed that Engadget found this N82 unboxing video by a Greek man who I must attempt to locate and party with. I’m not even going to do an unboxing video now, seriously, I can’t top this. What I…
Video: Python for S60 makes phones have feelings
Less than 40 lines of code and quite a humorous way to advertise the Mobile Python Book. Check it out: The Nokia 5500 has an accelerometer and pretty soon it will be standard on all mobile devices. While the applications created using this technology are useless now and mere tech demos, they do demonstrate that…
Breaking: S60 becomes fully LAMP compatible
LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and the P can be either Perl, PHP or Python. Everything you need to run a full web server can now be installed and run on your S60 device! What does this mean in the future? How about having a computer that is nothing more than a display, keyboard,…
Sony Ericsson P1i awarded by the Swedish magazine Mobil
At the recently held Mobilgalan show organized by the Swedish magazine Mobil, Sony Ericsson’s Symbian UIQ 3 based P1i was awarded by the prestigious award Guldmobilen in the “Smartphone of the Year” category.

Video: Microsoft CEO and Symbian CEO talk smack about Google’s Android
I’m sure you’ve already read the quotes (here and here), but it is a completely different experiance watching their facial expressions. Steve looked relaxed, calm and unnerved. Nigel on the other hand looked a little bit tense. Now admittingly it could have been an upset stomach, jetlag, a multitude of things, but a mans face…
Review: Shazam iD, TrackID is no longer just a Sony Ericsson thing
If you have a Sony Ericsson device released in the past 2 years or so then you have a most awesome application on your device called TrackID. If you never used it before, here is what you’re missing out on: Once you open the TrackID application you can hold your phone up to a speaker…
Video: The force comes to Finland, Nokia Lightsaber
Someone named Graham Oldfield used the accelerometer API inside the Nokia N95 to create a lightsaber application which you can find here. Symbian Guru, Jedi Cadden, made a little video demoing this for us: As useless as the application is, you can’t talk smack about Star Ware, especially you LoTR people.
The best music centric mobile phone is currently made by Samsung?
In what will probably be the most debated quote for cell phone audiophiles online, Eldar from Mobile Review said that the Samsung i450 is superior to the Nokia N91 in terms of sound quality; the N91 being the flagship music centric Nseries device. Shame the team who designed it had the last chapter of 2001:…
Beautiful Sony Ericsson K1i concept reminds me that I want the Walkman UIQ application
Now I’m sure many of you guys and gals will agree the image above looks cool and kinda familiar. But this time it’s not my intent to talk about Sony Ericsson’s future devices. Yeah, I do hope they’ll make something similar to the iPhone while keeping their platform (UIQ on top of Symbian OS) widely…
