Angry Birds 1.4.1 iPhone

The most popular game (at least here in Scandinavia), Angry Birds, just got updated to version 1.4.1. The biggest new feature is the addition of 15 new levels (page 10, levels 1-15). Open up App Store to grab this update. If you don’t have this game yet, I’d recommend you spending 0.79€ on it, it’s well worth it.

Nokia C6-01 Could Run Symbian^3?

Jonne Eilimö | August 30, 2010 11:11 | 0 comments | source

Nokia C6-01 Symbian^3

Mobile Bulgaria managed to grab a picture from a local retailer showing an image of what they claim to be the Nokia C6-01. What’s special about this image is that the device in question runs Symbian^3.

We’ve previously heard that the C6-01 will have a better camera compared to the C6-00. The C6-01 will have an 8MP camera with dual LED flash, instead of the 5MP and single LED flash seen on the C6-00.

This image doesn’t of course confirm anything, but it would make sense to include Symbian^3 and make this device even more juicy.
