A "Beta" of Nokia Beta Labs

Well, will the irony never cease! Nokia Beta Labs itself has now entered a beta stage, and by that I mean the site has been revamped.

See?

I for one like the new look better. And there are new features, too.

The Blog there is Tommi's S60 blog, now conveniently located on the Beta Labs domains, for easy one-click access. It's a great way for users to find out more info about the apps before trying them out, through users' comments. Also, like on the original s60.com blog, the comments can be used as a way of giving feedback about applications.

Hot Topics is a nice way to let people know about the latest campaigns from Forum Nokia etc.

One thing I didn't like that much was the fact that the list of apps, once large and attention-drawing, is now a small list of "Latest applications" in the lower-left corner. If they could just enlarge it a bit, or move it somewhere more visible...

Let's give the guys a hand, eh? They've done a pretty good job so far, and with some tweaking, the beta beta labs can become a stable release.

The URL remains the same, http://www.nokia.com/betalabs
