Do these words ring any bells for you: Solitaire, Minesweeper, MS DOS? Well get back to your roots and do it with mobility.
Some clever hacker - who perhaps has a little too much time on his/her hands - has retro fitted Windows 3.1 onto a Nokia N95 device. The screen shots are quite beautiful (unfortunately only in Polish for us Anglos) and bring back some fond memories of constant crashing and uni-tasking.
There’s no word on how to do this to your phone, but we really appreciate the sentiment.
It also begs the question why? Why? Who cares?! it looks cool and appeals to our hipster retro chic!
Does anyone have any other requests for old school OS’s to appear on mobiles? Let us know.
Those Blocked calls I receive passed mid-night. “Who is it?? Who would call me at this hour?? Is it my ex, that woman stalker, or maybe it’s just another terrorist call….. I won’t answer” . After a long wait, our trouble is over. A new service by TELTECH Systems, has the power to unmask callers who block their numbers or names from being displayed.
Trapcall unmasks those “private calls” by forwarding those private calls that you ignore to their servers and then reforwards it back to your cellular device with all the caller information in tact! In addition to unmasking those blocked numbers, Trapcall will also help block unwanted callers from calling you.
Despite earlier speculation, the rumors of a possible Android and LiMo collaboration have been quashed. Google claims that they are close to completion with their technology and any kind of input from anyone else would ruin the user experience. Thus they have no interest in LiMo.
This may prove tough for Google in the long run as they are starting to fall behind fast in the market. Despite the end of the year estimate from Android’s Eric Chu for Android’s release, LiMo might already have another round of phones on the market. This will be loss ground for Google.
What to do you think? Any preferences towards either system? Is all the Android hype worth the wait? Will the release date even effect google?
Often times I imagine myself as Luke Skywalker about to make that impossible shot that saves the Rebel forces from Darth Vader’s Evil clutches.
Of course my Datsun 180b is hardly an X-wing and the Brooklyn Bridge is no Death Star but still I can’t help but relive my Leia fantasies of youth when a cool iPhone App like PhoneSaber comes along.
The App uses you Apple iPhone’s inbuilt accelerometer to generate sound at the slightest movement of your projected lightsaber.
If that’s not enough, and quite clearly its not, there’s also Star Wars: The Force Unleashed a multi-touch StarWars gaming fantasy writ large on the grins of nerds everywhere. Sorry honey I won’t be home tonight- there’s a universe that needs saving. Zhoom zhoom.
Apple iPhone users have long been spoiled with cool apps and games but Aqua Forest is somewhere inbetween and one awesome use of the accelerometer and Touchscreen features.
Command fire, water and wind like the Moses of a lesser God as you wreak havoc on the iPhone’s pixelated world.
Not a game? Not an App? Why am I interested? Check out the video

In a major shakeup Nokia has announced its intention to purchase the remainder of Symbian Ltd to create a non-profit Symbian foundation aimed at turning the OS into a single open source mobile platform.
The acquisition requires Nokia to shell out 264 million Euros for the remaining 52.1% of the organization currently held by Ericsson (15.6%), the Sony Ericsson joint-venture (13.1%), the Japan-based Panasonic (10.5%), the German-based Siemens (8.4%) and Samsung (4.5%).
The new company will combine Symbian, S60, UIQ and NTT DoCoMo’s MOAP(S) into a a single open-source platform creating an environment to encourage rapid innovation in what is already the most popular mobile platform in the world.
The news could dampen excitement in Google’s own ‘open’ Android platform and will have Apple and Microsoft’s ‘closed’ platforms re-thinking strategies perhaps with select components of the Symbian Foundation available at launch and the entire platform available within 2 years.
