Nokia’s flagship N96 offers another cool application: it’ll be able to access the
Beeb’s iPlayer! The Finnish phone maker has teamed-up with the BBC to build an
app enabling N96 users to both download and stream programmes from the service ...
UGO writes: "Nokia's 6205 isn't going to wow the technophiles of the world but it's a sleek little
phone with reasonable call quality as well as a decent camera and touch control music capability on
the front of the phone. Coming is a cool purple Joker box, the 6206 arrived at the UGO Cave
complete with a copy of the Batman Begins.
The phone came loaded with a ton of The Dark Knight content some of which is very cool. The
wallpapers definitely stand out and the rings tones are cool on the first play through but not as
your regular ringer. I though the joker laugh was awesome until I heard my phone ringing at 1:30 in
them morning and I nearly smashed the phone."

The Nokia 7310 Supernova is a Tri-Band candybar that takes the 7210 design and gives it a little
boost. At a slim 12mm this is definitely a phone to carry around without a problem. The weight is
only 83 grams which means you’ll be able to walk around with it uninhibited.

This is a fairly important question to consider, I think. The gaming industry clocks in
billions of dollars in revenue each year, a good portion of which is devoted to mobile sales. Yet
if mobile Web use is going to continue climb at the solid clip, and mobile phones are to be smart
and powerful enough to conquer interactive entertainment, is there room for platforms devoted
primarily to gaming?
While Sony’s PSP hasn’t seen itself become a phenom of the mobile gaming space, the
Nintendo DS is an item
which has often been touted as something of a marvel; nearly as cool as the Wii when it first
arrived. Nintendo has consistently sold millions for several quarters. And the company will
undoubtedly sell more. But just how much more? And if/when momentum slows to a trickle, then a
crawl, and then stops, what comes after? Does Nintendo move into software exclusively, bringing
Mario, et al. to the iPhone,
Android devices,
Nokia handhelds, and other
systems?
What triggered my interest in this subject isn’t gaming itself. The most I would consider
myself is a very occasional gamer. Once in a while a little Sudoku, some Tetris, some chess.
Also, I’ve recently been draw to the “Cannon Challenge” [iTunes URL] game freely issued by Discovery for iPhone/iPod touch users. Otherwise
my free moments are devoted to other pursuits. No, gaming isn’t really the focus here.
Rather, it is the way in which mobile platforms themselves are evolving that is the basis for
this comment. They are evolving to the point that Nintendo’s handhelds, and those of its
competitor(s), will be no more. Why? Internet connectivity. More precisely, always-on
Internet connectivity.
It’s been said constantly for over a year now by various persons well-known and not so
well-known: the iPhone is a great gaming platform. Leo Laporte of TWiT, The Tech Guy, and The Lab fame, says so. Regularly. The co-hosts of
“Diggnation” offer similar
praise for the thing. I’ll say so, too. And by categorial association, I would say a number
of other smartphones are similarly equipped to provide gameplay that’s visually impressive
and entertaining as well. Indeed, because of computing power alone, it might be argued that the
likes of Nintendo won’t be able to extend its legacy in a tangible sense for many more
years.
Yes, it’s important to emphasize this new and very big nail in the coffin of
convention. It’s a point that has been echoed with increased volume in recent months. The
ever-present mobile Web. If game developers take up the task of engineering titles to connect
players with one another without limit to place or time - or, reversely, dependent on place and
time - the sort of gaming that comes with the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP in their
current Wi-Fi-enabled form, is going to quickly become outdated.
Of course, Sony has a convenient bridge to the next era of mobile gaming in its partnership with
Ericsson in the mobile phone world. That is something Sony should address, and sooner rather than
later. But Nintendo, interestingly enough, doesn’t have that option. Not yet, at least. And
rather than establish exclusives with one handset maker or another, it may well be better off
investing little to naught in hardware and focus instead on publishing titles compatible with the
modern smartphone platforms of today.
Not too long ago a report released by comScore noted that US mobile subscribers’ had
essentially balanced pan-Atlantic rate of 3G adoption with residents of Europe, after years of
lagging behind. If comScore’s numbers are anything accurate, they only add weight to the
line that mobile phone gaming is the logical extension to come from the market. The next cash
cow. Naturally, this requires that consumers take to the all-in-one approach to mobile
communications, which they’ve been slow to do. But the advent of Nokia’s newest
N-Series devices as well as those from Apple and Samsung, etc., have done much to whet the
consumer palate. So much so that a migration is simply inevitable.
To be sure, this is a good thing. Change rarely does good things for nostalgia, but it
enables progress to continue on. The sheer volume of possible applications of GPS- and 3G- and
4G-infused networking, let alone gameplay, piques the interest of millions of people. Privacy is
of course an ever-present concern. But gamers have made plain their desire to take the
multiplayer experience as far as it can allow. That has been the case with Xbox Live fans,
PC-based MMORPG devotees, and it will also be true for mobile gamers, too. Heck, the
possibilities given via the Nintendo DS specifically have intrigued a global supply of users. So
gaming over wireless cellular telephony spectrum is really just upping the ante. It is very much
within reach.
Now, there is a limit to what you can do given that sort of infrastructure and personal
componentry. A small screen can only provide so much opportunity to developers. But the social
aspect is where things go big. It’s more a matter of developers’ thinking anew about
the handheld world, and seeing what they’ve already constructed in the realm of iPhone and
Android, they presumably won’t be short for ingenuity for many years to come.
Which brings us back to the future that Nintendo - and to lesser extent, Sony - will encounter
and be forced to navigate. Mobile gaming is critical to its business, regardless of its clear
success with the Wii. Will we see Mario soon emerge on the N96, a BlackBerry’s touchscreen,
the iPhone, and a Sony Ericsson Walkman of some sort? I’ll venture to say yes. Somewhat
soon, anyway. It’s only sensible that they make it happen. If only because it has become
increasingly evident that smartphones themselves are now being designed to be the next generation
of all-purpose playgrounds, and Nintendo could well make a fortune introducing itself and its
trademark craftwork to the wider world of pocket computers and the cloud they inhabit.

Heureux possesseur d’un Nokia n95 8Go je suis amené à vivre quelque temps, pour

forfait Illimithycs... Trouvé !
Guest contributor Nick Anstee signed up to be one of the first to get a Nokia N96, as part of a limited 'wildlife' run. Read on for his first impressions of
the N96, after a couple of days of intensive playing, plus photos of the device and some
really nice photo samples taken on the device.
Over to Nick, a self-confessed gadget freak who, sadly, seems to own more phones than I do(!) -
heh:
The screen is great - good colours, good outdoors too (although not tried it yet in sunlight
- chance would be a fine thing!)
The size isn't as large as I'd expected. Admittedly I'm coming to the N96 from the E90, but I
was still pleasantly surprised. The N96 is shorter and easier to hold than the Apple iPhone,
which I also have.
Build quality is good, with a solid slide, but the back is plasticky, especially where the
stand is, and the whole thing is a fingerprint magnet.
The camera shutter key is very stiff, and its final 'take photo' stop is well inside the
N96's casing.
The battery life is much better than expected, the N96 lasted a full day of me fiddling
around with power hungry activities.
The music quality is very good indeed, especially over Bluetooth/A2DP.
The built-in speakers are very loud, a good thing.
USB is fast, much faster than the N95 8GB or E90.
I can't get the naviwheel to work. Might be me not knowing how to turn it on, but I've looked
everywhere in Settings....
Browsing the web on a QVGA screen was very disappointing after the E90 - but this was to be
expected!
Some 3rd party apps (e.g. ProfiMail) show glitches - probably a FP2 thing?
No manual was supplied. :-( But they did throw in a car charger and a T-Shirt :-)
Switch was buggy and wouldn't let me transfer my data from E90 to N96. I had to use an
unofficial iSync plug-in from the 'net to sync data with my Mac instead.
The camera's very good, here are some photo samples, click each to enlarge/download/print
(etc):
