4 In A Line for Symbian OS
Krisse has been looking at yet another very solid ZingMagic conversion of a classic game to Symbian OS. In this case, 4 In A Line for all S60 and UIQ-powered smartphones of all vintages. You won't buy this for the soundtrack or graphics, but you can't beat the classic gameplay. It's also probably great for children for long car journeys 8-)Incoming: Meteor for all Symbian OS platforms
I reviewed Meteor almost three years ago but Krisse, in the run up to the next-gen N-Gage launch inYahoo! Go! 3.0!
Yup, it's out. A whole new version of the free Yahoo! Go! on-device portal. Version 2 was actually pretty handy, including mapping and routing and support for built-in GPS. Version 3.0 claims better email handling, more news, satellite maps, live traffic. Sounds a bit like Google's portfolio, except that here it's all in the one Java application. Worth a try? Type get.go.yahoo.com into your smartphone's browser.Last chance to get Snowed In 6 for free
