I’m in New York City preparing for the Evening with S60 today. The past couple of days have been so busy that I only now realized Michael Jerz’s My-Symbian.com site celebrated it’s 9 year anniversary on Monday - that’s almost as old as Symbian itself. 9 years is a very respectable age for a website, congrats!

MapsonOvi.gifWe’ve added a good number of new applications, both freeware and trial versions, to S60.com for you all to download. Below are a couple of the recent ones. You’ll find more from S60.com applications section!

Like Ricky already blogged yesterday, Maps on Ovi is now also available on the LG KT610 and downloadable from S60.com. With Maps on Ovi you can locate your destination and plan your route street by street, city to city. Maps on Ovi also provides car navigation with turn-by-turn visual and voice guidance, plus added real-time traffic feeds and dynamic re-routing in addition to turn-by-turn pedestrian navigation

AdLpro.gifTo the trial section we have added Advanced Device Locks Professional Edition for Nokia S60 3rd edition by WebGate. Essentially, Advanced Device Locks protects important information and personal data that you have stored in your phone. With ADL Pro you can restrict access to certain applications, protect sensitive information and delete it remotely in case your phone is lost or stolen. ADL Pro comes with a password-protected secure storage where you can place your confidential files. The app also alerts you if the SIM card on your phone has been changed by sending a notification SMS to a predefined number. Trial period for this app is 7 days.

HandyCalendar.gifAnother nice addition to the trial apps is Handy Calendar by Epocware. Handy Calendar helps you organize your schedule and offers useful features such as: 4 different views: Month, Week, Day and Tasks; 2 modes to open and preview any entry: anniversary, all day event, task or appointment; Identification and highlighting of contact names, phone numbers, e-mails and URLs and the possibility to use them directly from Handy Calendar. Handy Calendar also features “Hot keys” for all important operations and zooming text size for better visibility and larger screen capacity. Trial period for Handy Calendar is 14 days.

profile_scheduler.gifAt the freeware section we’ve added several new apps from Dr. Jukka Silvennoinen. One of them is Profile Scheduler, a free app that allows automated profile changing with timer scheduling.

Innovative new Apps from the Forum Nokia Developer Community

Application Reviews - August 14th, 2008 3 comments - Written by Martin Barclay

Forum Nokia recently recognized the first set of applications to be selected for it’s Innovation Series. Some of you may already be familiar with one or more of these apps but here is a summary and video demos showing each one:

What’s interesting about this set of applications is the diversity of both the apps and the development environments used to build them, and the fact that all deliver what we believe to be a unique and compelling user experience to S60 device users - these are not time-wasters or novelty apps, they are much more substantive:

Qik (native S60)- live video streaming to the web from video-camera enabled devices such as N95
Hava (native S60) - TV place-shifting - watch your live TV content or recorded DVR conent on your S60 device anywhere with a 3G or WiFi connection
JoikuSpot (native S60) - turns your S60 device into a mobile WiFi hotspot
WebMessenger (native S60) - secure, enterprise grade mobile IM integrated w/Microsoft OCS
Plusmo (WRT) - mobile widget platform
Whrrl (Java) - Location based social discovery
UbiSafe (Java) - Location/GPS tracking
Backup Pal (hardware appliance) - backup, copy, and restore contacts without software or a PC.

I’ll be updating this list on a regular basis with more new cool S60 apps from Forum Nokia developers.
