The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is clearly designed for the music lover who isn’t interested in any other feature. You might say to this person, “would you like QWERTY?” and they’ll just be like “is that a band? Because music is where it’s at.” The 5800 is the world’s first Symbian S60 5th Edition touchscreen mobile phone and Nokia’s first proper attempt at a dedicated touchscreen handset. Although I wouldn’t consider it Nokia’s flagship touchscreen, that is obviously the N97. In any case, the 5800 is shaping up to be a really decent phone.

Apparently Nokia is coming out with a device to compete with the plethora of touch screen super smartphones on the market. Nokia execs have been bragging that the Internet is completely in the dark about this upcoming device and it’s going to blow our socks off. Although I will be dead asleep when the device is announced, 3:15AM EST, I’ll be sure to report first thing tomorrow morning. You can also go to Nokia’s page where they have a clock counting down until the news breaks. What do you think it will be? Personally, I think it’s going to be the new touch screen Communicator (pictured above).

The guys who make mobiPad have come out with a cool product demo video! I wrote about these guys a while back when I was judging for Mobile Content 2008. I can’t remember if I heard about them through the awards, or just at the same time. Either way, they should have been at the awards. I would have voted them right to the top.

Using mobiPad, you can control your entire mobile phone with the game controller of the Nintendo Wii. Use it to play games or as a remote control for the media player on your Symbian S60 or UIQ device (N95, P1i, P990) - the wireless gamepad is always an ergonomic way to interact. You can finally play standard games on touchscreen devices and no longer have to worry about buttons that are close together - and all this without buying a dedicated mobile games controller that you could not use for anything else!

MobiPad turns your Nokia S60 into a portable Wii

MobiPad gives you control of your Nokia S60 phone using a Nintendo WiiMote. The wireless gamepad gives you a wireless means of connecting the phone and WiiMote so you can play mobile games in a whole new way.

All you have to do is turn on Bluetooth and select “Discover Wiimote” in the mobiPad options menu. Turn on the WiimOte and they both sync up. Easy! Now you can play S60 Quake, Doom Legacy, vBag and more with a sweet WiiMote interface. Connect your phone to a TV and you have a portable console!
