You may know John Holloway as the guy behind ZingMagic (and before that Purple Software), but he actually goes back to the very beginning of the Symbian story, working at Psion.

Thanks to the E-series blog for updated versions of two very informative posts (and their comments) detailing the twodifferent ways to listen to Internet radio on your Wi-Fi-enabled S60 3rd Edition smartphone (so the N93, N80 etc are also 'in').

What movie format is used? One might also ask "Why not just buy the DVD and convert it to MiniSD yourself?"

I know Rafe's a modest chap, and he refrained from mentioning all but the briefest stat at his 'State of the Union' pub meet talk, but just to emphasise how AllAboutSymbian has grown in status, read on.....
Yes, it's the latest Carnival of the Mobilists! CotM carries a selection of links to the week's best writing on the world of mobile devices, and this time topics include mobile home pages, text messaging in politics and marketing, suggestions for improving the E61, mobile phones as musical instruments, and much more. (It's called a carnival because it moves from one site to another, but you can always keep track of it on the main site.)
Fifteen reasons why you just have to pop along to the Crosse Keys on Monday night.... [stop press: now a Nokia E61 to give away as well as the N93!!!!]
