Firefox Browser on the N810: 6X Faster Than Nokia's?
Gizmodo reports that the latest mobile Firefox release is quite the speed demon compared to Nokia's own Firefox-based browser on the N810 internet tablet: to the tune of being six times faster. That is, if you trust the SunSpider JavaScript benchmarking program.

New Version of Nokia Text Messenger Now Available
The latest version of Nokia's handy Text Messenger gadget is now available for download at the Beta Labs.

Software: Virtual Gameboy Advance 3.5
We've got an update on the Virtual Gameboy Advance emulator - the new version is 3.5, and has been ported to Maemo (Nokia's internet tablets) and Unix/Linux. According to the release, the Maemo edition utilizes the touch screen for a joystick. There's also the usual bug fixes and optimizations too.
See Marat's VGBA emulator page for more info (and to download the trial version).

Cool: Get Alerted to Speed Traps with Trapster
Ever heard of the Dash? It's a GPS that anonymously reports location data to a central processor, which in turn figures out what areas are moving at a snail's pace, and reroutes the GPS accordingly.
Trapster, while not quite as autonomous, is a mobile service that lets motorists send information about speed traps and red light cameras using simple keystrokes. Taking full advantage of GPS-enabled phones, it can warn (other) users of possible hot spots. Nothing like taking one for the team!
