Sunday May 17, 2009 Symbian S60 3rd Edition
I started liking the Symbian platform after using the Samsung's i550w Smartphone. The phone is based on the popular S60 platform and you can easily extend your OS with other cool applications. You can run you Ruby and Python scripts. You can even setup a whole personal Web Stack on your mobile.Some screenshots of the S60 platform. A lovely and neat interface:
You can install your favorite Java/S60 application:
You can test your Python and Ruby scripts right on your phone:
Well organized menu items:
Use Dr. Jukka tools to debug your applications:
And I love the PyS60 terminal for running scripts:
This is one mobile platform that I would recommend to everybody even though the 3rd edition is very particular about security and signed applications.
First time when I tried using the GPS, the satellite fixation took some time as I didn't use the phone's GPS+ option. I was on the road waiting for the phone to connect to some satellites for the time I thought it could have easily connected to Neptune and Mars as well. But then it is OK. In India, you don't need GPS. You just ask around for directions!
