N79 Interactive Demo

Quite a lot going on in Nokia's world today. Just a few hours ago this interactive demo of the N79 came up. One of the more exciting features of the N79 is the return of Xpress Covers, now integrated with the device's themes as well, and changes them automatically when you change the covers. Test drive it now!

N95-1 V30 Just out and another one coming soon?

Yes, you read it right, according to a friend i have working with Nokia, he claims that the disappointing v30 recently released was Nokia's move to silence the media about the N95 operating on the Kastor UI and what not. According to him, Nokia is already working on the next firmware, but right now it is still very early in the development stage. Don't go opening your bottle of champagne just yet, he mentioned it will take some time as "Nokia wants to get it right this time" so it might take a little longer. Personally i really hope that it will inclode FP2 transitions and certain functions such as the "application updater" found on the N85. Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see!


N85 + N79 Preview & N85 Demo


A bit more info on the N85 as wel get closer to it's release in er.. *God-knows-when*. There's a good write up on the N85 and N79 on Mobile Review here and a Interactive Demo of the phone on Nokia's site here. There's even been a
video preview of this device posted on YouTube, which you can view rby clicking here.

I find it pretty cheesy of Nokia to use the N95's "Its not one thing, it's many" slogan to sell the N85 as well, but i guess the N85 is a pretty close relative to the N95 (more so than the N96) and fits nicely into an exclusive Do-It-All device club.

That's all for now, be sure to visit us regularly for the juiciest news in the tech world, with the occasional extra serving of health and life tips. ;D

EyeToy-like Game Under Development For N95 - FunCam!

Bubble Games, the same people that brought the fun accelerometer-based application Panda Manda and Bubblies are working on an awesome new concept (for mobile phones that is)

The game should be called FunCam and makes use of the TV-out feature on S60 handsets, as well as some sort of movement recognition feature. If you’re thinking we’re blabbering, take a look at the video that has been posted by BubbleGames on Youtube. It’d definitely be an awesome newcomer to the S60 gaming scene, but i wouldn't expect it to go very far especially since the EyeToy's popularity for the PS2 was very limited. Only a handful of games were developed for the PS2's EyeToy so i certainly hope that Bubble Games will give us a wide variety of games. Perhaps even make it customizable as with their PandaManda Game.

Anyway it's always good to see new things being developed, especially for the N95! ;D

Here is the video:
