6 April Nokia has released a new TV commercial with its first touch-screen device Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. This video shows what a cool things you can do with your 5800 device like Internet messaging and browsing with web video support, GPS navigation, picture and video uploading to Flickr and YouTube.I wonder how we can extend these rich capabilities of this perfect device with freeware applications? The first thing I thought was extended messaging to many IM networks with Nimbuzz, Octrotalk, Palringo, Yeigo, Bombus and other such applications. The second thing would be free and low-cost VoIP telephony with great VoIP clients like Fring or Truphone. Other interesting option would be making from your phone a wireless webcam or microphone for your laptop which is possible with help of WWIGO or Mobiola Webcam and Mobiola Headset application.
My question to readers: how else we can upgrade our 5800 touch devices with Symbian freeware?

I also would like to "upgrade" the navigation sw included in the phone. The sw where you have a compass with directions to your destination. I would like to also have the distance in nautica mile, the speed in knots and also a indication in the track in degrees which you are moving. Then it can be used as a low cost navigation tools in ultralight aeroplanes.

I'm not familiar with the Nokia mobile but I am VERY familiar with touch screen technology as I have had an iPhone since the initial launch.
When it comes to that device, I am still blown away daily by the things it can do. Now that other carriers and mobile manufacturers are getting involved, I think that the future is going to be very exciting for ALL mobile devices - can't wait to see what they think of next!
Hey guys…
The Mobile Sensor API (JSR-256) is now supported in S60 5th Edition devices. In addition, the API can be added to the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic using a add-on, which can be downloaded from Forum Nokia.
