Opera Mini 5 Beta, free to download now

Posted by runebune on September 16, 2009

http://www.opera.com/mini/next/

This is a nice install on my Nokia 5800 XM, but the keyboard lack the ability to copy/paste with the native clipboard in the S60. Some Java scripts does not format well like the iPhone google reader site, but this is not different from the official 4.2 version. Other than that, the browser looks a lot better and still runs smooth. The password save feature is a really nice add-on and feels a lot like a desktop experience. Also the tab browsing makes the flow easier to swallow. Bottom line: it’s a good step toward a better experience.

Twitter client with Facebook support: Seesmic DESKTOP

Posted by runebune on June 3, 2009

Seesmic DESKTOP
Help Desk

This is one of the best twitter clients I have used for my windows desktop, and then again, I have not used twitter that long. I tried just a few (round 5 clients on windows 4 on S60), and I must say that Seesmic was the winner for me at the windows platform. This was because it scales nice and intergrade facebook notifications and other features.

It also support mutiple twitter accounts and userlists mixed on both services, save searches with new post notifications and more.

It has some normal, but nice features like add (tiny) URL, image and shrink text. Also the facebook status can be updated like the twitter tweets.

The column look does look like the one known from TweetDeck, but I like this more, and one of the reasons is that twitter and facebook timelines can be mixed together in one timeline or it can be seperated into 2 columns. Also the twitter replies can be mixed and seperated.

Seesmic has also made some footage of the feature updates/changelog

Do you want more out of facebook, twitter picasa on a Nokia smartphone, try the Snaptu application. This application does fit on other phones as well. Facebook part of the application is fare better than the build-in web version and supports long home-feeds like the desktop version (not as long but long).

Buddycloud for Symbian

Posted by runebune on May 15, 2009

Buddycloud for Symbian
This app does many things right when it comes to geo-messeging and awareness. It’s more like twitter than Nokia’s friend view app, and it does not run in the background as I know of. This kind of app could be nice, we just need more commen structure interfaces to link all these geo-networks together.
