New Nokia phone or N-Gage2 ? Nokia took pains to say that this was just a concept, and not a product under development. On the flip side are standard phone buttons, while on this side a slide out set of gaming controls and a 16x9 screen deliver a stylish gaming experience in a smartphone package. (Jim Louderback/Ziff Davis Internet News) Instead of keeping it as a separate platform, Nokia on Tuesday rolled out plans to move its N-Gage gaming platform into select smart phones, due in 2006 and beyond. .

Firstly mobile phone with hard disk and wi-fi (nokia n91) and now this:
… which is a phone for gaming with hardware suport for 3D graphics and powered by symbianism series 60. It can draw 1 million polygons per second compared to only 80.000 polygons per second for current series 60 phones.
nokia concluded: software-wise maybe we can’t beat microsoft, but since microsoft can’t do hardware in mobile phones and we can, so we will put stress on hardware and add hard disks, 3G, videotelephony, wi-fi, 3D graphical processors and other hardware goodies - in this way we will screw Microsoft up!

Symbian SDK on Unix HOWTO The SymbianOS SDK is built to run on a WIN32 system. It consists of 2 toolchains. One for building the code for the Epoc32-Emulator on Windows (called the WINS target) using one of the commercial C++ compilers from Borland, Metrowerks or Microsoft.A second one, using gcc for the so called MARM target which is the phone itself (e.g Nokia 6600 or SE P910). Symbian released the modified gcc source together with the source for 4 important tools, which makes it possible to build C++ programs without a Windows emulator. Alternatives: It is possible to get the second chain running on Unix. There are more alternatives, which are different in how the makefiles are built: The one described in this document, where you use makefiles directly. Bulding console C/C++ programs (.exe), shared libraries (.dll) or C++ applications (.app) is supported. There are even builtin rules to build a complete sis file (i.e. installation file), so you do not need to fight with the .pkg file syntax. GnuPOC, which takes the "Symbian" way, using makmake to generate makefiles from "makmake project" files (.mmp). .

Nokia Pushes Web Services on Symbian OS Nokia plans to keep its mobile devices competing against Windows Mobile by adding support for Web services to all Symbian smart phones by next year."There are two protocol families emerging," says Timo Skytta, director of Web services at Nokia. "One is SIP-based, from a voice background. The other is Web services, emerging from IT vendors such as Sun and Microsoft. Nokia needs to let people develop applications using both." .
