When Microsoft and Nokia announced they are joining forces to deliver different solutions, of which Office Mobile, to Symbian devices, Ricky reported the news and had an interesting take on it. Apparently, he almost never needs Office capabilities on his devices, which left me intrigued, as mobile document viewing/editing is an indispensable feature in any [...]
Most people don’t know this, but I’m somewhat of a statistics nut. I don’t keep minute track of the various statistics on this site, but I do think it’s fascinating to find out random little bits of things. I also have a lifelong dream to hire someone to simply shadow me for a week, recording [...]
My favorite S60 blog, the S60 Blogs themselves, written by the same people that work inside S60, has just taken the leap into the mobile web. The blogs are now fully mobile-optimized so by simply hitting http://blogs.s60.com on your S60 web browser, without needing to memorize a separate address, you can browse the blogs in [...]

I took the opportunity to take a look at how the internet and technology might be enriching and enabling my life, and possibly ways [...]
Ewan over at SMStextnews is reporting that Jey Fenton of Howlertech.com and ROKTalk has put together a python-based application that I’ve been waiting for a long time to have. Scribe allows you to manage your WordPress-based blog directly from your S60v3 handset, using Python for S60v3. It’s not really a pretty application thus far, but [...]
I’m really pumped to pass this information on, courtesy of the Mobile Diva, Darla Mack. EQO, whos MOIP application I tested a while back, has finally updated their mobile IM application to be a native Symbian application! Currently, it is in beta, and supports the major IM networks (AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, and Gtalk). Since it [...]
Episode 7 of Chatting with the Guru is finally here. To be honest, Podcast Thursday snuck up on me somewhat. However, by popular demand I was able to get James Whatley back on the show, and we have a nice little discussion about Mobile Gaming. Listen in to find out what we think, and some [...]
