An official AAS MegaApp - but with a non-Nseries caveat
Resco Photo Viewer has been evolving over the last three years and has paralleled the development of Nokia's own Nseries Gallery in some ways. Which makes it unnecessary for anyone with the latter, but a downright 'MegaApp' must-buy for anyone struggling along on the 'old' S60 Gallery.

The team behind the project includes UK based Moblog, and they asked if All About Symbian would highlight the project... which we're more than happy to do.

Nokia Email hits new beta, Ovi Share gets Map View
If you've been following the saga of Nokia's new next-gen email system, note that there's a whole new shiny beta of Nokia Email available, writes the Beta Labs team. There's more localisation, wider compatibility and plenty of minor bug fixes and detailed improvements. There still seem to be some issues regarding Google services though - indeed, the very Email home page doesn't render at all in Chrome, which didn't bode well for me.... In other news, Ovi Share has added a decent Map View so that you can see all your photos in a channel and where they were taken in a single glance.
