Microsoft dubs Silverlight as a cross-browser, cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework for building media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web on desktop computers. The current Beta allows you to run Silverlight applications and composition on the Symbian S60 5th Edition browser, so that means touch screen Symbian devices. There’s still a way to go become everything is finalized, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction.

March 20, 2010
Nokia's E72 business messaging phone is one sleek handset which is definitely fun and easy to use, but up till now it only came in business optimized colors of black, silver and topaz brown. Good thing that the folks at Nokia decided to jazz things up a bit by introducing a purple Nokia E72 that makes it look a whole lot more hip. Even nicer is that piece of hardware is not a special, limited edition unit, but you will be able to purchase it in the Lebanese market in due day, with hopes that it might even produce the cross by to the global market.

It seems that HTC’s G1 isn’t the only phone out there that is busy preparing a bunch of robot slaves to take by the world. Now we’ve got a Nokia N900 controlling Lego Mindstorm robots. The icing on the cake? You can send commands to its Twitter explanation at @N900Niko, telling the Niko robot to move forward, turn around or even take a photo. Photos taken will be posted on Twitter via Twitpic. It’s cool to see more and more mobile devices and robots having fun together like that. What will we see next?

Nokia Design By Community Wants Your Phone Design
March 19, 2010
Do you think that Nokia phones aren’t as cool as they could be? Well, you might be able to have some say that instance, as Nokia has launched its Design by Community initiative, allowing users to create their ideal concept device. You’ll be able to tweak the screen size, screen type, keypad layout, buttons, and screen ratio. The weird thing is that there’s a meter that lets you know whether you’re creating a device that’s “too way out there” or “not ambitious enough”. whether Nokia is trying to get a fresh perspective on things, wouldn’t having a meter to nudge citizens in a assured direction be counterproductive?

Cheap as it might be, it will probably be a success as well.
