  • SPB Mobile Shell for Symbian s60v5 on the Samsung i8910(video)

    SPB Mobile Shell 5.0

    SPB Mobile Shell 5.0

    SPB soft­ware just announced ver­sion 5.0 of SPB Mobile Shell with sup­port for Android and Sym­bian devices. I am a huge fan of the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 on my Win­dows Mobile HP Ipaq 211 and I’m glad to see this ported to other plat­forms. The new update features:

    • New 3D engine
    • Nat­ural Inter­ac­tion Engine
    • 3D wid­gets
    • Tight inte­gra­tion with Twit­ter, Face­book, LinkedIn and other social networks
    • SPB UI Builder 2.0
    • Multi-platform sup­port: Android, Win­dows Mobile, Symbian

    Con­sid­er­ing that some devices come with SPB Mobile Shell as the default UI, this is a whole new chap­ter for the Sam­sung i8910, a new lease of life. You can check out a video demo by http://www.geeks.hu from the Mobile World Con­gress 2010 after the break.

    Awe­some right? I should be get­ting a demo appli­ca­tion in due course to show you a more in-depth overview. From my expe­ri­ence with my Win­dows Mobile PDA, the inte­gra­tion is really deep.  I also under­stand is makes use of Open GL ES 2.0 mak­ing it the first appli­ca­tion on the i8910 that uses this.

      SPB Mobile shell, can’t wait to get my hands on this. It doesn’t come free though, I estimate(from ver­sion 3.5) that it will cost US$29.99 which is not too bad.

      Thanks again for more use­ful news anphase I would be inter­ested in this soft­ware too, and if its sta­ble and deeply inte­grated, I would be happy to pay.…..I would be very inter­ested to know whether it knocks many MBs out of c drive

      Nuh, don’t get sucked in by this just yet. First of all Win­dows Mobile com­mu­nity have been using those for long time, and shells like this proved not very respon­sive and RAM hun­gry, but then again this is Sym­bian, not Win­dows that uses stu­pid reg­istry to clut­ter and slow things down, so will see ^.^
      But still, the 5.0 ver­sion isn’t com­ing till late Spring-early Sum­mer (or so I heard from the twitter)

      actu­ally i’ve used this on win­dows mobile, and it was pretty smooth. judg­ing on the video, as long as it’s smooth i think i8910 has plenty of ram to spare.

      n97 users can worry about ram issues =)

      I dont really under­stand how it works. Is it a Firmware or an App? If it is a firmware, i would love to pay 30$ for it (if i can also buy it in German).

      I bought my omnia hd last decem­ber 2009. I’m extremely amazed of the new fea­ture of that i8910 as seen on the video.

      How can we avail that spb mobile application?

      I hope it’s free for those who patron­ized the omnia hd.
