Nokia to shut down popular OVI Music Unlimited Service ?

We've come to know from Esphoneblog that Nokia has decided to shut down its uber popular service Ovi Music Unlimited only and not the Music Store.

What can be understood after the content translation is :

  • New OMU bundled devices will not be shipped from Nokia's factory after 31.12.2010
  • The 1-year license can't be renewed after 10.1.2011
  • No effect on devices bought with OMU/CWM. These can still be activated for the 1-year free music download service.
  • No change for users who already have activated the license. When their current license expires, they're not provided with an ability to renew the license.
  • No change in the Ovi Music store

The 1-year free music downloads from OVI Music store will be discontinued, while customers can still activate the 1 Year subscription on devices that are currently in the market. Which simply means the existing subscribers and users of the service will not be affected.

We shall classify this as rumour as we dont have any official confirmation from Nokia.

Hack Brings Stick, Robot AI Control to iPhone Tilt Games

Here's a fun, somewhat offbeat post for your Sunday afternoon.

When it comes to tilt-controlled games, iOS devices are the king. But tilt isn't for everyone. And, if you've got enough time on your hands � along with some serious engineering savvy � you can turn any tilt controlled title in the App Store into a stick-controlled affair. At least that's what Shane Wighton has shown us in his rather hard-core hack that lends analog stick control to any iPhone tilt game.

See the Tilt to Live [App Store]-based demonstration video.

Hack a Day recently featured the project, which mounts an iPhone to a joystick-controlled, motorized X / Y tilt sled allowing a nudge of the stick to set the iPhone on edge. But the magic doesn't stop there… Designer Wighton has also mounted a webcam above the iPhone and designed a photoreactive algorithm that lets the tilt sled, without human intervention, to get a ball from start to finish in Labyrinth [App Store].

Strong work, Shane.
