Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Skylight is an application launcher for Windows that can be used to launch application, search files, look up meanings of words in online dictionaries, search Google, YouTube etc. For those familiar with this type of applications, Skylight is very similar to Blaze or Gnome-Do.

After installing the application, a small icon will show up in your tray bar. You can run the application either by clicking the icon, or by a hot-key combination (the default one it Alt+Space). It works quite quickly, despite the fact it uses over 70.000K out of the Memory Usage.

Youtube Mobile Application v2.0

If you are a Symbian S60v3 user, you will be happy to know that recently Youtube application v2.0 is available for download.

I personally loved the new interface and the loading speed and also the video streaming speed (I used a Nokia N82 handset with 3G internet connection but should work good on slower internet connections too). I was a little surprised when I've noticed in the installation process that the supplier for this great application is Google Inc. Really great application.



To download it just point your phone's browser to m.youtube.com and follow the download link from the top of that page.
