Photography seems to be a hot subject today. Symbian Freak's Bigley Ling has posted a detailed comparison of still photographs produced on the Sony Ericsson K800 (not a smartphone, though) and the Nokia N93 and N73. Lots of technical info here for the camera enthusiast!
In another AAS exclusive(!), Steve Litchfield reviews Nokia's DT-22 tripod for the video-recording N93. Summary: it's tiny but well made, and its best feature is that, like the starship Enterprise, it separates so that you can use the top half on its own.
AllAboutSymbian audio podcast 7 is now online, in which Ewan interviews Brian Jaquet from Slingmedia - how does his streaming TV Slingbox concept work?
I'm sorry, I just can't help it. It's 'The Emperor's New Clothes' all over again. But.... "What's the fuss all about?" Push email. The term has become a tick box feature that every new smartphone HAS to have before it's taken seriously. No push email? No good for a professional then. What rubbish. Read on, and then have your say in the comments!
I've been adding to and fleshing out my original Nokia N93 'TV out' showcase - see the revised 'Powerhouse in your pocket' feature. And, of course, everything mentioned in this piece will now also apply in equal measure to the upcoming N95 and other top-end future Nseries devices.
Ewan provides over a dozen pointers for would-be successful hobbyist programmers and small developers who'd like to create successful applications and games.
Nokia has commissioned a survey by Nielsen Entertainment which interviewed 1800 users of mobile phone games from China, Germany, India, Spain, Thailand and the United States. The results are available in a press release and suggest that people will enjoy using Nokia's Next Generation gaming platform which is due for launch in the first half of 2007. Perhaps the most interesting is the average gaming session length: 28 minutes, which is far longer than is usually thought the case on phone games, and implies that the average phone gamer plays with as much dedication as they would on a portable console.
If any of you have watched both my M600i video review and also any of my Smartphones Show video podcasts, can I beg for a minute of your time to answer one question in my poll? Thanks!
