TamsS60 - the S60 Blog

People who have followed our sister site TamsPalm have witnessed a lot of controller reuse in the past - now, two Austrian students from the University of Applied Sciences Hagenberg have decided to take it all one step further.

Their program mobiPad allows you to link up your S60 phone with a Nintendo Wii controller via bluetooth - and then use that controller to interact with a game of your choice. The folks tested their program with S60 Quake, Doom Legacy and vBag; but promise compatibility with all “well-written” programs and games.

The German c’t magazine has done a full-page review of Samsung’s i550 in the current issue:

In general, the device was rated very well(competitive with Nokia phones) - the magazine was especially impressed by the low price; but was unhappy with the lack of WiFi. For me, this is an excellent sign. Products reviewed in the c’t magazine usually sell somewhat well - this could very well show the start of a big rollout of the machine in Germany and Austria.

Stay tuned - when we see the device in the wild, you’ll be informed ASAP!
