“Accelerometer” Articles

Nokia UK has published ten very useful tutorials for the Nokia N8 tagged as ‘Nuggets’. These videos demonstrate many features that are not widely known or promoted. Hit the jump to view all ten demos which could help you make the most of your Nokia N8. Enjoy!

Check out this cool demo showing a how Manikantan interfaced his Nokia N97 mini with GameFactory and used it to control a jeep in the game. GameFactory is an advanced game engine developed by research teams inside NTU’s GameLab, headed by Prof. Seah. As you can see, he controls the jeep in the game by using the built in accelerometer of the Nokia N97 mini. Video after the break.

Late last year WOMWorld kindly provided me with the Nokia E72 for trial, which I have been using as my main device for around a month. The Nokia E72 is Nokia’s latest Eseries flagship device, that has all the business orientated features you need, packed nicely into a slim and compact design. The E72 is also the first in the Eseries range to sport a 5 megapixel camera, finally bringing Eseries up to par with the Nokia Nseries. The Nokia E72 does have a lot to live up to, bearing in mind the success of its predecessor the Nokia E71. The latter was by far the greatest Nokia handset of 2008, winning multiple awards in Best Smartphone and Phone of the Year categories. I personally still have the Nokia E71 as my companion, and so its time to see whether the E72 has what it takes to carry the torch forward.
