A day with the Samsung Omnia HD – Hardware and First Impressions – by AllaboutSymbian
Rafe Blandford and I were invited to spend a day with the new Samsung Omnia HD, powered by Symbian OS 9.4 and S60 5th Edition (the previous Omnia had been much lower spec and Windows Mobile-powered). Away from trade show crowds and noise, we were able to really explore the Omnia HD in text, photos and video, so watch for this content over the next few weeks. In this feature I look at the device itself, its form factor and obvious interface characteristics.

YouTube Adds Flash Player To Mobile Interface – by Symbian-Guru
YouTube has been offering a mobile interface to access its video database for a while now, as well as a mobile application that was basically a hit-and-miss depending on the devices. The issue with the mobile website was that it couldn’t play the video, and you had to open it in RealPlayer and wait for it to stream over there. This situation seems to have been fixed recently, because now you can watch the videos directly in the web browser on devices that support flash.

Light Sabre for Nokia 5800 and N97 – by SymbianWorld
Light Sabre made its way to S60 5th Edition finally. Using the built in Accelerometer API of the N97 and the 5800 you can use your phone as a light sabre. It’s offering you several settings such as volume, sabre colour and more. This application is of course freeware and really funny when you show it to your friends.
Although it is developed for and tested on the Nokia 5800 only, it should works with 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 devices like Nokia N96, Nokia N85, Nokia N79, 6210 Navigator, as well as to Nokia E66 which is based on the Feature Pack 1.
