S60 Smartphone Quality Assurance - now on my desk!

Great, S60 Smartphone Quality Assurance is now on my desk at last!!!

I received one copy of her book as a gift from the Forum Nokia Champion program.

I've just skimmed through the book and it's simply amazing, it has a lot of useful information I've never seen anywhere before and, believe me, I have a lot of mobile related books.

Prior to that all, I had listened the Voice of S60 interview with Saila and got to know that she was a senior manager at Nokia. Afterwards I had the opportunity to know Saila in person during the Forum Nokia Tech Days Sao Paolo as Srinkanth has introduced us (me and Luis) to her during the event. She is very polite and even friendly person and now that I got to know her profile and even knowledge (by checking the book table of contents) I am impressed.

One thing that's really interesting and cool about the book and Saila is that, although she's a manager, She is a very technical person with amazing technical skills, I am very, very impressed by her book's content. It seems that being a manager at Nokia also means having excellent technical skills and not just business related ones, very cool indeed.

I am starting to read the book now and I will post a review soon so stay tuned ;)

Nokia Siemens Networks starts its operations

Deepfish browser - early stages

The cool thing about technology is that competition may be the fiercest in the market. Take Nokia for example, it's the leader for me and it will be for a long time as it also receives some cool new ideas from its competitors like the hyped-still-to-the-market iPhone and now this cool Deepfish browser from Microsoft.

But please forgive me, the S60 OSS browser (a.ka. Nokia Web Browser and also S60WebKit) is the browser for the decade in my opinion (I doubt a better browser by 2010), what's your opinion???

Anyway, check some also cool stuff below.

More Fudge from Microsoft Live.com [perhaps playing catch up]

"As a technology preview, Deepfish is early in its development cycle
(still a few releases from beta quality). As a result some features are
not implemented or are only partially implemented. Currently, the
technology preview does not support ActiveX controls, AJAX, cookies,
Javascript, and HTTP POST." - meaning it does bugger all

Forum Nokia Wiki, Forum Nokia Remote Device Access Service

Nokia is leading the market with so many surprises and tools for mobile developers like me, I think we have the best community worldwide :)

Two fantastic, brilliant news are Forum Nokia Wiki and the Remote Device Access service, both launched by the best development community I've participated so far in my life, Forum Nokia.

Having that all, it proves one thing: Nokia really knows what the "Connecting People" motto means.

IBM is really innovative - The multimedia web for blind people

IBM is a cool company with very interesting projects with no doubts. The project on this article is a
good example of what technology can mean for the whole mankind.

Now that web is becoming richer with mixed media content (a.k.a multimedia), this one is really a killer solution in my humble opinion :)

Read the article:

"Codenamed the Accessibility Browser - or A-Browser - the software was created by a blind employee in Japan."
