The tenth Symbian Smartphone Show is behind us and I thought a week after the show would be a good time to summarize some of the news from the show from S60 point of view and find out what others have to say about the news.

First of all, we were very happy that so many of the over 5,000 delegates stopped by our stand. As mentioned in my previous posts, S60 and Forum Nokia shared [...]

Symbian Smartphone Show has been officially kicked off this morning. I’m really looking forward for this two-day event though feeling a bit tired after last night’s Evening with S60 at the Nokia Flagship Store in London. With close to 5000 delegates and 120 exhibitors, this year’s Smartphone Show is bigger than ever.

The S60 and Forum Nokia stand features many great demos from S60 and Forum Nokia developers including Gypsii, Foreca, Qt, Shazam ID, UbiEst, AdPlace, ROK TV, [...]

I’m very happy to announce the second Evening with S60 in London! The Nokia Flagship store (240 Regent street) is reserved for us on Monday October 20th from 19:30 to 22:00. As usual, the S60 crew will bring along the coolest demos and the latest devices. This is a great chance to meet up with other S60 and mobile tech enthusiasts in the area over drinks and good food as well as kick off the Symbian Smartphone Show.

David Sparks from the Interop Blog visited our booth and got his face (well, just a photo of it) thrown on the wall. Jürgen Scheible aka Mobilenin, a researcher, music and media artist, is the guy behind this neat MobiSpray app. MobiSpray allows light-based painting by using a mobile phone as spray can. With only a phone and a surface you can paint anywhere, anytime on anything.

The spray-painting follows your hand gestures in [...]

Next, there’s the lucrative kind of green: up to USD $150,000 in cash and prizes, along with access to official Nokia channels for app distribution.

And finally, there’s the green your skin will turn [...]
