Spotify goes mobile on Nokia phones!
In a post I wrote two month ago on 52ndwest.com, I spread the news of the launch of the mobile version of Spotify, THE music streaming application which gives access to 6 million+ tracks, for iPhone and Google Android’s.
Today, Spotify mobile is finally made available for Symbian devices (Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung smartphones). Just as with the iPhone and Google Androïd’s platforms, Spotify mobile allows you to stream any of its nearly 4 million tracks over WiFi or 3G and syncs playlists for playback while disconnected. Bare though in mind that Spotify Mobile is exclusively available to Spotify Premium members in the UK, Sweden, Spain, France and Norway (a US launch is expected soon).
And if you can’t wait to enjoy from music streaming on your mobile, you can always use and enjoy (I do) Mobbler, Last.fm‘s radio player and scrobbler for Symbian smartphones. Mobbler allows you to listen to your Last.fm radio stations and to scrobble tracks played using the standard music player. Magic.
You can download the application directly on your mobile from m.spotify.com
Enjoy the music!

Do you speak QR Codes?
“And then the invasion slowly started, deeply burying its roots in the neuralgic points of major industrial cities, before it spread all over the World.
And there they were, all around us, before we realized it was too late.”

To that point you are maybe wondering if this is some kind of stupid joke like the Crop Circles, a punk movement like the Army of the Twelve Monkeys or if this is real and we are under the threat of an Alien-like invasion.
“None of them” you’ll say. And you’re damn right and clever! Those weird drawings are only QR Codes. Continue Reading →
Nokia Easy Meet: give your mobile phone real-time content sharing
At the very end of the 90′s you still had the excuse to remain unreachable for hours as mobile phones were THE hype device of early adopters or wealthy individuals. This was a blessed time.
Try and do the same today and you may lose your job or turn single… Continue Reading →
iPhone killer…
Sadly just a design study and not something which will be announced this year at any major consumer electronic events, this Nokia E97 Envelop is the work of 23 year-old Paris student, Fabien Nauroy. The concept has a full keyboard in “AZERTY” layout, with a small LCD screen above the keyboard. But the best part is the pull-out LED screen that can work as a storage device, and make file and picture sharing somewhat retro, and also futuristic. Continue Reading →

“Fahrenheit”.
I think this is how in-flight ISPs Aircell, Row 44 or OnAir should have called their piece of hardware they supplied airlines with. But I doubt that their engineers were whistling Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” while working on their solution… or is it because it’s still light-years away from being something decently called “broadband Internet”? who knows… Continue Reading →
Nimbuzz : the killer VoIP app for mobile phones
If you’re like me and split most of your “online time” between your smartphone, your computer’s chat client and your Facebook/LinkedIn page, Nimbuzz may be for you. It’ll make all those communications smoother.
My Facebook friends sometimes leave me wall messages that I take forever to respond to when I’m running between Paris and Vienna. Now they can call me or chat with me directly via a widget embedded on my Facebook profile page. The Nimbuzz widget detects presence and shows if I’m online. If I’m offline, Nimbuzz also includes a “Buzz” feature to alert me that people are trying to reach me. Continue Reading →
Access your home PC/Mac from anywhere in the World
One major concern before leaving on a business trip or for a “study” week-end, is to make sure that you took all you working material with you, which is not always a piece of cake. You might realize while reaching your
final destination, that you actually forgot to upload to your laptop one of the kingpin document you needed to work out your presentation you’ll have to hand on Monday… and that’s too bad, because your office is closed and none of your workmate will pick-up their phone on the week-end , and that there’s absolutely no way for your wife/husband and kid at home to help you put a hand on this document; you visually know in which folder it is stored, but you really don’t know how to explain them how to get there… Continue Reading →
Turn you mobile phone into a secured Wifi hotspot for your laptop!
Who has never looked with envy at those people surfing the web on their laptop, from the gate of an airport or while travelling on board of a train?
Who has never been discouraged to purchase a 30mns Internet credit for €15 from the only local provider available at an airport lounge or at a hotel?
As for my part, I’ve experienced both situations during one of the 140 Paris-Vienna flights I took for the past two years (17,5 tonnes of CO2 … I know… I’m so ashamed). But I’ve never been so desperate to subscribe to an additional mobile contract for 12 or 24 month and get one of those “cool” broadband Internet access USB dongles you connect to your PC or Mac and which puts the world at your finger tips while on the move… Continue Reading →
