About two weeks ago, I posted a posting on my other blog, Forum Nokia Blogs, about accelerometer on Nokia N95 Apparently, Nokia N95 has accelerometer built-in; but it was kept secret. Now after the API is opened to the public, many developers are trying to create cool applications. You can find some of them below.

Before you can install these applications; you need Accelerometer SISX file, which is available from Nokia Research Center web site. Download N95 RD Accelerometer Plug-in package and extract install N95AccelerometerPlugin.sis from the package. For your convenience, I have copied the SISX file to my blog as well (see link below).

Click here to download N95 RD Accelerometer Plug-in package

RotateMe - Have a screen rotation effect from portrait to landscape; and vice versa; just like what we have in iPhone.

Click here to download the unsigned version of rotateMe

Note that rotateMe does not distribute the signed version of the installation package. It means you have to sign it yourself. Unfortunately the certificate/key pair is currently available for developers only. For the end users, it would be difficult to get it sign. There were some discussions on the Internet to apply developer certificate on SymbianSigned.com; but it is likely that you won’t be approved if you are not developer.

Download Links for S60 3rd Freeware Applications

Posted by Antony Pranata under Third Party Apps

There are some freeware applications for S60 3rd that require us to visit a web site on our mobile devices. Since typing URL on a mobile device is not a nice experience, I have collected some useful links for you.

The links below are the ones that are not available via Download! application. For example, a freeware application that I develop, Screenshot for Symbian OS, is available on Download! application in the Special Offer section of Handango.

To access the links , you need bar code reader (see also BarCode Reader on S60 Devices). There are some bar code reader applications out there, such as Nokia Barcode Reader and Kaywa Reader.
