Get iPhone Google Reader view for any S60 3rd device

I love Google Reader, Its everything I want at one place. But when I am on a move I browse thru my Mobile(Nokia N95) and I don't feel it has a friendly view. When I browsed Reader in iPhone the layout was great & I was waiting for Google to Update the layout of Reader for all the mobile devices. And today i found something interesting at nokiaaddict.com . Its the url of the iPhone Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader/i/ )

Google Talk, Labs Edition

There's a new flavor of Google Talk: the Labs edition, a desktop client that looks very similar to the Google Talk gadget and has most of its features. The application doesn't support voice chat or file transfer, it's still Windows-only, but it has some new features: it lets you launch Google Calendar and Orkut, while including notifications for Google Calendar events and Orkut scraps. The new Google Talk uses WebKit to render some parts of the interface.

I don't find too many reasons why someone would switch from the full-featured client to the Labs edition: group chats, smilies, tabs, while the missing features are more important. A better decisions would have been to integrate these new features in the desktop client, instead of releasing a separate application. Now we have four different flavors of Google Talk: the original client, Gmail Chat, the gadget and the Labs edition.

JoikuSpot turns Nokia Smartphones to WLAN HotSpots

JoikuSpot is a free mobile software solution that turns Nokia Smartphones to WLAN HotSpots.

JoikuSpot software is installed directly to the phone. When switched on, laptops and ipods can establish instant and fast wireless internet connection via smartphone's JoikuSpot access point using phone's own 3G internet connection.

Multiple devices can connect to JoikuSpot in parallel and seamlessly share the same 3G internet connection. JoikuSpot acts thus as an internet gateway to external WLAN devices.

JoikuSpot Light is in BETA phase, and has not been fully tested against all possible device combinations. JoikuSpot has been successfully tested with phones listed in the download section.

Please make sure that you have the latest firmware on the phone. You can easily update it with Nokia Software Updater.

Known issues:

-JoikuSpot might also work with E60 with new hardware version. With older hardware the JoikuSpot is created, but for unknown reason the connection to internet is disconnected after 10 seconds. If you manage to successfully use JoikuSpot with E60, please let us know. Please also deliver your hardware version, you can get it with *#0000#


-JoikuSpot has been tested successfully with several laptops: Fujitsu-Siemens, Apple Macbook, Dell, HP and new IBM models seem to work well. With older IBM laptops (at least T40P) the connection is not working. The reason behind is the WLAN chipset that the older IBM series is using.
