3D graphics benchmarks aren't the 'be all and end all' when it comes to games playing performance, but they're a good clue as to how capable a device is. So it
was interesting to find out about a regularly updated and bookmarkable table of OpenGL ES benchmarked smartphones. It's topped by the 'if you believe Nokia'
obsolete N93 and the N-Gage 1st access smartphone, the N81, comes in a lowly 22nd. Read on for comment.
Introducing Nokia Text Messenger
You've got to love all the cool widgets and utilities coming out of Nokia Beta Labs. They just announced the availability of Nokia Text Messenger, a Windows
Vista desktop gadget to show your received text messages and let you send new ones.
Might an empty Vase be better than a full N96?
The 'Vase' is just a concept device, to be sure, but it got me thinking. Is this the way to handle a smartphone interface where there's enough functionality to
overwhelm beginners? Maybe yes, maybe no, but it's a question that's good to ask.
N-Gage - the BBC interview
There's a really nice video interview just up on the BBC site with Nokia's N-Gage head talking about the next gen games platform and demonstrating several of
the games. And the video interview, just like my own Smartphones Show, was shot ON an Nseries smartphone, apparently. Cool points all round!
