A couple of years ago, I wrote in the S60 Multimedia blog about my initial experiments to build some sort of S60 client for last.fm, that would at least collect information about what you and your friends are listening to. The comments to that post quickly moved on to what was really needed - an S60 client to scrobble (i.e. upload) info about what you're playing to your last.fm account.

As you can see at the end of the comments, the developer community has responded with at least two scrobbler clients for S60. Aspyplayer is a Python scrobbler client that includes its own music player, and uploads your listening history to last.fm as you listen. If you're looking for a non-Python option, there's Mobbler, a native S60 application that stores your history for batch uploading to last.fm.

Thanks to Symbian-guru and larryni.me.uk for alerting me to these latest developments.

We just added three new S60 hint & tip videos to our YouTube channel, and we'll have more coming next month. What do you think of them? Would novices find these easy to understand and useful?

The S60 app, "Pro Session Golf", which was originally only available on the N93 Golf Edition, is now available for download for 65 euros or $90 US. I interviewed Pro Session Golf's Product Manager, Larri Vermola, last year for the Voice of S60. Nice to see this in downloadable format, now what I'd like to see is this technology used elsewhere. (My tennis swing could use some improvement)

HELSINKI, Finland, September 18, 2007 – Pro Session Golf video analysis application is now available worldwide for several Nokia Nseries devices as downloadable version. Pro Session Golf enables you to capture your golf swing, analyze and improve your game by split screen swing comparison and other advanced analysis methods. The tool was originally developed for tour players and teaching professionals and it was launched in 2006 as European only limited Nokia N93 Golf Edition. Now the success story continues globally on expanded device range. The application is compatible with Nokia’s latest flagship Nokia N95 and it also supports Nokia N73, Nokia N93, and Nokia N93i.

Check out the latest Nokia BH-503, it's like my BH-501 (which I love) but now with Play/FF/RW...COOL!!! Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie!

Wow, big day at Nokia yesterday. I just got done watching the big presentation from Nokia's top brass in London. New N-Gage platform, new music service, and three new S60 devices!?! I'm floored!! Although sometimes I wish Nokia could get a spokesperson to show a little more enthusiasm for such an exciting event. And I cringed everytime I heard the words "Series 60" and not "S60". :-)

Fortunately the technology speaks for itself! Check out the latest members of the S60 device family from S60.com - The Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N81, and Nokia N81 8GB...

Today is the day!! I arrived yesterday to Chicago from yesterday, I immediately checked-in to the Intercontinental on Michigan Ave. and walked one block down to the Nokia Flagship Store and met up with store manager Bridget Gibbs and her great staff, all of whom were very excited about tonight. I have no idea how we're going to fit 100+ guests into this store, it's going to be interesting... :-)
