Nokia Money, a new mobile financial service

admin@symbiancentral.com (Administrator) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:07:57 +0000

Nokia Money, which was announced in August, and is expected to launch in Q1 2010, is being shown off in the video below by Waltteri Karhusari at the Nokia “Way We Live Next” conference in Finland. The UI is fairly basic, but that’s do to the demo being done on a fairly low end device. Nokia Money’s target audience is emerging economies after all. It’s safe to say that Visa’s stuff is much more impressive, but sadly their solutions are due to hit the market at an even later point in time. Mobile Payments will be the next killer application, much like GPS was the killer application for smartphones in 2007/2008, but the question on everyone’s mind is when will Mobile Payments take off?

Opera Mobile Browser beta 10

Opera have released a beta version of Opera Mobile for S60 smartphones. Sporting the same user interface as the recently updated Opera Mini, Opera Mobile provides an alternative browser to that built into the majority of handsets, and first impressions on the beta are good. Highlights include an easy to navigate tabbed browsing experience, a number of thumbnails cropping up to aid navigation, and a lot of performance tweaks. The Norwegian browser company are doing their best to make mobile browsing faster, so even without using the Opera Turbo feature (which involved server side compression) you'll notice there's a certain zip to bouncing around the Internet, with good on-screen feedback.

Firefox Mobile Beta is doing the rounds, and even looks like being the perfect choice for the Nokia N900 tablet when it ships in the next couple of weeks. What’s more, it looks like Firefox Mobile has found its natural home on Symbian on Maemodevices. Firefox is now officially five years old and while we’ve been hoping for over a year that that the mobile version of Firefox (originally known as Fennec) would be appearing on Nokia devices soon. Last week we revealed a rather good video of Firefox Mobile Beta in action on a Nokia N900 and it seems this won’t be the last instance.

Sign Unsigned S60 Apps

admin@symbiancentral.com (Administrator) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 18:27:45 +0000

There are a lot of ‘unsigned’ applications floating around the web, partly because part time developers either do not have the time or money to get their applications signed via the Symbian Signed program. While quite a bit of such applications can be signed via the Open Signed website, some cannot be and quite frankly there are times when we are simply lazy. For all such reasons it is best to have a developer certificate with which you can sign the files on the phone itself and install without having to bother with any other method. The following tutorial will show you how to get a certificate (generally within three hours) and is much easier than the OPDA method.
