There haven't been many updates here lately. I was on vacation for a month this summer, and after that I've been quite busy. I have however been working on a couple of great articles to post here. So in a short while there should be some really good updates available.This however is just a short update on what's been going on at quickmark.

Yesterday Nokia launched a new version of their PC-Suite software. The 6.84 version of this software in addition to enhancements to performance and stability, offers a completely new feature; the ability to synchronize files between your phone and your computer automatically.

Quickmark has finally released their Symbian 3rd edition version barcode reader, becoming in my opinion the best barcode reader for camera cell phones available today. In my previous test Quickmark would have been the best barcode reader, but was passed by Kaywa due to the fact that they didn’t offer a 3rd edition version. This has now finally changed. The following should give you good reason to switch to Quickmark:

Nokia has released a new firmware for N80(ie) with version number v 5.0719.0.2. It's available via NSU but not FOTA. I've just installed it, so the only change noticed yet is that Y-Browser no longer works. The phone give a security error message when you try to start the app. I'll post more after more testing.

Lately I've got a lot of questions about 1D barcodes (a common 1D barcode is the barcode you find on any item at the local grocery store) both via e-mail and on certain forums. A lot of people are wondering why it's so hard to find a cell phone barcode scanner that supports 1D barcodes. A lot of people also are under the impression that 1D barcodes contain some sort of "secret" information. The truth however is that they only contain the same serial number you see below the code. I'm going to post the last question and my reply here.

Today I launched gsmstuff.net for the general public. I originaly made the website to test ajax and regular pages working together, and to test storing files (images, themes, etc.) in a database. Seeing as the page now contains more than 25 000 wallpapers, themes and picture messages I figured I could just as well let everybody have access while I run the test. I'm continuesly adding more content also.
