I (as many other people in the blogosphere strangely enough) don’t have a lot of time to write a proper post, so I’ll just post some quick "notes". I think the starting point is the fact that Nokia wants to keep having a fat profit in the near and long term future […]

It’s strange how sometimes people are very aware of the battery consumption of some applications but put all concerns aside when it comes to applications that use the internal accelerometer.

Thanks God there is Google News….

Finished working and started going through my feeds to see the initial comments about the new Nokia Music store (UK)… I have to say, it must be some sort of peer pressure between bloggers but most of the sites I regularly check were full of the same info, same […]

So, found out about the new Nokia Search app for my N95 from allaboutsymbian and downloaded it (from Nokia Search Webpage) hoping to find a nice search box in the active plugin…restarted my N95, nothing…
