Nokia to Release E71 Soon?
Nokia is going to launch Eseries handset, following in the footsteps of the E61, E61i, and E62, which is the Nokia E71. The Nokia E71 probably sported a QWERTY keyboard, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera, HSDPA, and WLAN.
Since Nokia hasn’t officially announced the E71, there isn’t a whole lot to go on at this point. The camera, as mentioned before, will be 3.2 megapixel with an LED flash and autofocus. At 11 mm, the E71 will be a slim little workhorse compared to the E61i’s 13.9 mm and Nokia’s phones in general. As a reference, the original RAZR was also 13.9 mm.
Game Review: Space Impact-Kappa Base
Space Impact is a nokia’s old school game which is easy to play and entertain-able. Now nokia launched the next version of space impact, which is named Space Impact-Kappa Base.
The gameplay revolves around choosing the appropriate skyblade and weapon loads for each level. As you collect money in the game you unlock more options, and eventually you can choose from eight skyblades and seventeen types of weapons. Because you can take several weapons at once on the same craft, there are 200 different combinations of weapons load, and what you choose will make a lot of difference. Some levels are almost impossible with a bad choice of weapons, but become much easier when you select a more appropriate combination. The choice of skyblade can also be important, as they have different properties in terms of speed, armour, and kinetic energy gathering.
Overall, Whether you like SIKB depends on what kind of gameplay you enjoy most. Although the offline game is called “story mode”, the aim is really to play and replay levels constantly chasing after a better grade, and to unlock more items.

Ubuntu on Nokia Internet tablets
After Google’s Android mobile OS for Nokia N810 tablet, it looks like Nokia wants to get more flexible by using another OS. The Internet Tablet OS is about to get even more flexible with ports of Ubuntu and the Qt toolkit. Nokia is getting Qt developer Trolltech, thus it’s no surprise the Qt is making the jump, but it looks like it’ll be mostly a third-party-targeted framework, with the ITOS interface and bundled apps still using GTK+.
Nokia told Ars Technica that it’s exploring cross-platform possibilities between ITOS and Series60, and that it wants to see if GTK+ and Qt can coexist on the tablets like they do on the Linux desktop. That’s pretty ambitious for a low-powered tablet, but we’re all for more flexibility — which seems to be in the cards with the Nokia-sponsored port of Ubuntu to ARM. Several pre-Hardy Heron versions have been ported and run off SD cards, if you’re feeling adventurous — we’re not sure what the advantages are, but it’s nice to know that Nokia’s keeping things wide open.
