60 things

Wish you a year of better mobile memory and cheaper, faster connectivity!

The pictures look too real to be a rumour. ‘N96′ looks like a bigger version of N81, with larger screen, 5 MP autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss lens, (speakers on the top and bottom?) and a flatter, prettier keypad.

From the pictures, it’s very similar to the latest NSeries phones. Wonder what will be it’s area of expertise.

This is to inform you that an earlier post of mine with videos of NSeries phones for the uninitiated* has been updated with a few more YouTube videos.

(Confession: I had my first sight of N95 just three days ago.)

It rains YouTube videos for S60 phones! Just a few days after Samir’s YTPlayer comes Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz’s emTube, an S60 YouTube client and FLV player.

emTube doesn’t let you upload videos to YouTube, but it offers a lot of options for viewing them. You can search, favorite, and download YouTube videos with emTube.

As in the other YouTube clients the videos are shown in portrait mode. Users of ‘lesser’ phones (those without the auto screen rotation) can use RotateMe to watch videos in landscape mode.

More screen shots at the end of the post

emTube shows a menu to watch featured, top rated, and most viewed videos when it’s launched. The app is pretty fast. The thumbnail images in search results display the rating (stars) the videos have received and a heart icon if you’ve favorited them. You can also select related videos and user videos from the search results.

Five results are shown in the search results. You can configure search to show more items in the Settings option, which also lets you choose the default volume, cache size, and whether you want to play selected videos automatically.
