For owners of any Symbian S60 5th edition phone (Nokia’s 5530, 5800, or N97): today’s the last day Playlist DJ can be downloaded from store.ovi.com for free!
The app promises the ability to build playlists based on the “moods” you set on the app’s sliders. Obviously, you can download through a computer or on your phone itself.

At below $300 unlocked, the Nokia 6600i Slide seems to be the manufacturer’s to offer stylishness for the budget-conscious consumer (or at least in the case of the US, buyers who are willing to spend a bit more on unlocked phones, but not too much).
The quad-band sliding phone features a washed metal finish, 3G capability, a sliding form factor, and a 5 megapixel camera. It comes in black and silver.

Dear Nokia,
I like your phones, and I’m happy with the S60 platform. Really, I am. It’s just that when I see iPhone users enjoy a pretty functional Wordpress client, I feel a bit sad. I know Symbian and S60 can do much better than that.

Motorola’s newer models have really not caught any significant attention, which is probably why agents of the company decided to spam this blog. Looks like the manufacturer’s higher-ups have started to pin hopes on the Android OS, seeking to ride on a potentially “strong developer community and application ecosystem”.
That’s just part of a three-fold plan:

Android will be the major platform for Motorola phones. Goodbye Symbian!
The P2K platform will power low-end models.
Production of Windows Mobile devices may be outsourced.

Nokia should watch what happens closely. If Motorola’s Android gambit proves successful, it may push other developers relying on Symbian (LG for one) …read more

Internetnews.com reports on Nokia’s bid to buy out all of Symbian (spending $410 Million in the process) and offer “a new, royalty-free mobile software platform.”

This obviously works to Nokia’s advantage. As the top dog in the smartphone world, Nokia would like to make it harder for new players to profitably compete in the market. At least, that’s what the article implies.
