FN Developer Day - Maps and Navigation API

This is the first time I am attending a Forum Nokia Developer Day (or Forum Nokia Champions Day) event, which really runs for two days for the name "Day" is a little misleading. This time the event is organized just before the Symbian Smartphone Show in London on Oct 16th and 17th....

NokiaCV library - giving brains to your S60 imaging app

NokiaCV is a cool new computer vision library from Nokia Research Center . It provides some neat enhancements to the Symbian OS imaging capabilities, including capture enhancements (color conversions, panorama creation, etc.), motion estimation (for gaming UI for example), and post-capture...

Event notice: Open source apps to S60 platform

Friday ramblings: Battery covers and SIM card holders

There are almost as many battery cover lock mechanisms and SIM card holder mechanisms in Nokia phones as there are different phone models. I might be exaggerating a little, but still the variety is astounding. As I have to change SIM cards between phones almost daily (and sometimes even more...

Heads up for people using Java LandmarkStore on S60 3rd Edition devices

There will be a known issue document posted too about this later this month, but I thought a short note is in order for those, who are creating MIDlets utilizing Location API (JSR-179) on S60 devices... The case is that LandmarkStore.getLandmarks() method call can get really slow...
