I recently came across »Samir's« YTPlayer - a very early beta version of a flash application that makes it possible to search and view videos on YouTube.com on a mobile phone.

Since then I have found yet another, free YouTube »client«, namely »emTube«, an application capable of searching, playing and saving YouTube videoes on the mobile.

I am quite excited about »emTube« which I think provides a very nice, mobile interface to YouTube. I used »emTube« yesterday to search YouTube for clips from Led Zeppelin's recent concert at the O2 Arena in London - brilliant!

You might think the sophisticated features of a state-of-the-art smartphone like the N95 is mostly relevant to corporate road warriors roaming the planet in pursuit of important business deals.

I have written about old skool gaming on the N95 before, but I am about to get as old skool as I possibly can: »Doom« for both Symbian S60, S80 and S90.

I think this post could only be more old skool if it was about »Doom«'s predecessor -  »Wolfenstein3D«, but unfortunately, there is no version of »Wolfenstein3D«* available for the N95. As far as I know…

So »Doom« it is!

If you own a N95 you will probably agree that this phone is something of a chameleon - one minute it is an excellent digital camera or a decent camcorder; the next minute an MP3-player, FM radio or powerful communication device.

Using peripherals with the N95 only adds to the chameleon-like character of the device - the TV-out feature is a case in point. In this respect, using a bluetooth keyboard is no exception since a keyboard opens up entirely new ways to use the N95, while at the same time turning well known features - e.g. the browser - into whole new experiences.
