Here’s a simple Nokia Series 40 screensaver I put together a while back to test out sub-LCD capabilities on the 6125 and 6136.

Download the zip (172 KB).

This screensaver can be used for main or mini-display on Nokia Series 40 3rd Edition Devices shipping with Flash Lite 1.1.

You can also use it for wallpaper (I reserved space within the content to accomodate for (most) device UI elements).

For those of you reading this blog, it’s not much of a surprise, but read the article on CNN: Cell phones taking over as timepieces.

No it’s not Gumby (oh nooooo, Mr. Bill), it’s “Chumby”.

Keith Peters just posted about the unreleased Flash Lite 2 enabled device.

If the iriver u10 and nabaztag ever had offspring, this would likely be it. 

At first glance, it looks to be just an alarm clock, but after you read about the device, you’ll think differently.

Interested? Check out “What is Chumby?”. There is also info on engadget and dyl world.

Here are the hardware specs (subject to change):

A few months back, there was some speculation on what the iriver n20 would look like.

In fact, some sketches were officially released from iriver:

Recently, this unofficial photo (courtsey of misticriver) was posted:

The u10 is pictured on the right. I can’t say for certain whether it is in fact the iriver n20 on the left. However, it does look convincing, given the original prototype sketches seen above.

Either way, we’ll know for sure next month, as the release date for the n20 is anticipated soon (September?).

This is a brand new tool called Crazy Egg that I came across. 

It allows you to track, evaluate, and improve your site by giving you a clearer picture of where your visitors are clicking.

The heat map feature is a nice touch.

Might be useful for your blog … but again, it’s brand new so they are probably working out the kinks.

You decide … Art or Trash?  This is NOT “photoshopped”.

Here are a couple more mobile “heaps”:

1. More Cell Phones
2. Cell Chargers

Check out other “mass consumption” exhibit photos at Chris Jordan’s site.

I’m not sure if any of these get recycled in any way … but they ought to be. The other piles appear to be ready for reuse.

I don’t think anyone has posted about this, but iriver has actually supplied a firmware update that also allows you to upgrade from MTP to UMS for the u10.

What does this mean? 

With the UMS firmware, your u10 will act as an ordinary USB storage device. This means you can use the official iriverplus software to sync media, instead of being restricted to WMP. 

You can also use open source PMPLIB (haven’t tried it myself yet though, so no comment just yet).

I’m not entirely sure who compiled this list … but, check out some of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Cellphone Designs here.

The LG K-800 (aka Chocolate) made the list at #2. I actually just upgraded to this device from the SCH-a950. The LG KG-800 is a really sweet device (pun intended). Plus, if you haven’t heard it’s got a Flash Lite UI and will be Flash Lite 2.1 BREW enabled.

Another mention is the Helio KickFlip. I had the Helio Hero for a bit. I’d be curious to find out what Amp’ed has to offer these days. Both companies seem to be promoting heavily in the US these days …
