All About Symbian - UIQ NewsNews Headlines from All About Symbian (Mobile Feed)Missing Sync for Symbian ships- July 29, 2008 Mac developers MarkSpace have released Missing Sync for Symbian, providing (among other things) automatic Bluetooth syncing of data between phone and Mac. Here's the TUAW write-up. More on this next week when I'll be starting a new series of features looking at S60-Mac connectivity and compatibility.http://mobile.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/7741_Missing_Sync_for_Symbian_ships.php UK rail times to Calendar- July 23, 2008 Lifted from the comments to a previous story, I wanted to highlight an addition to the excellent traintimes.org.uk. When accessed from your phone browser, the site now has the facility to add a UK train journey (via a vCal file, don't worry, it all happens seamlessly) into your phone's Calendar. Very cool, and the site only needs just over 100K of data per lookup, much less than the full Nation Rail equivalent.http://mobile.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/7708_UK_rail_times_to_Calendar.php Tweak Peaks UIQ 3 version 1.30- July 21, 2008 These guys dont know how to stop! CellPhoneSoft are still actively releasing new and interesting UIQ 3 apps, despite the prevailing mood in the industry. If you think your P1 or P990 is starting to be slow and can't cope with daily chores, then it’s time to get Tweak Peaks into action. Screen and notes below.http://mobile.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/7695_Tweak_Peaks_UIQ_3_version_130.php Some super USPs but still unfinished - the MOTO Z10- July 20, 2008 After four review parts from Ewan, prodding the new Motorola MOTO Z10 from most angles, I finish off with a detailed test of its crowning glory, its camera. Although, mid-2008, this isn't as cutting edge as it once would have been. Despite this, there are numerous unique selling points, including a fabulously fast multishot mode and an initial focus in video recording mode. Plus, I summarise the Z10 as a whole: it might still be great, but needs a lot more work on its firmware.http://mobile.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/7689_Some_super_USPs_but_still_unfi.php Sony Ericsson "to axe 2000 jobs"- July 18, 2008 The BBC News website is reporting that Sony Ericsson is to cut two thousand jobs over the next year, in order to cut operating costs. The company was making a profit this time last year, but in the last quarter it reported a small loss.http://mobile.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/7684_Sony_Ericsson_to_axe_2000_jobs.php A Z8Z10 theme for a true Tifosi- July 18, 2008 If your eye was caught by the release of a Motorola Z8 "Ferrari Edition" late last year, you might like to note that our related site, Moto Smartphones, has now made the official Ferrari theme available for any other UIQ 3 smartphones. Some screenshots below for other Ferrari fans!http://mobile.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/7683_A_Z8Z10_theme_for_a_true_Tifos.php The MOTO Z10 as a music smartphone- July 14, 2008 In part 4 of his continuing review of the UIQ 3-powered Motorola MOTO Z10, Ewan tests out its music capabilities. Might the Z10 make it as a music device if all else fails Here are parts 1, 2 and 3 of the Z10 review, in case you missed the story so far. Part 5, covering photogaphy and video, plus the wrap-up will be down to me...http://mobile.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/7652_The_MOTO_Z10_as_a_music_smartp.php E71 and MOTO Z10 in PDA Essentials 77- July 14, 2008 I see PDA Essentials magazine has renamed itself as "PDA Esssentials, Smartphone & GPS"... Anyway, issue 77 of this UK-based newstand magazine, out today, has full reviews of the Nokia E71 and Motorola MOTO Z10, along with a multi-page feature on '10 things to do with GPS on your smartphone' and the inclusion of the Sony Ericsson W960 and the Nokia N82 in a 'budget' group test.http://mobile.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/7648_E71_and_MOTO_Z10_in_PDA_Essent.php |
