“The user interface of the A3 is very intuitive; you hardly need to open a manual to use this player. Its main screen shows icons representing all the 10 main functions of the player. These include Movie, Music, Photo, Document, Browser, Mobile TV, Radio, Record, Recent Files and Setup. The user navigates through the user interface using a 4-direction joystick and 4 slim buttons (Back, A, B and C). To perform a function, the user presses down on the joystick. The Back button takes the user back to the previous screen. The rest of the buttons change functions depending on what screen is current displaying.” Read more here:

“The application runs on all S60 3rd Edition phones, but you may find that real-time video playback is not possible on older devices. More recent devices such as the E65, N93 and N95 should work fine. I tested the application on the N95, there were a few stutters, but generally the video was smooth, and is one of the best mobile FlashVideo player implementations, in terms or quality, that I have seen. emTube allows you to watch videos as they are downloading – after an initial pause for buffering you can start playing the video as the rest of it downloads. As usual with video downloads, they’re best done over Wi-Fi, and there will be longer pauses before playback on 3G and (of course) GPRS/EDGE.Aside from the basic video browsing and viewing functions, there’s an impressive level of functionality in emTube, considering this is a first release. You can download a video to your phone’s internal memory or memory card. emTube can be used to play back locally stored flash video files. You can also add a video to your favourites list as a way to quickly get back to videos you want to watch later. From the search page it is possible to access all the user videos of the currently selected video and you can also view videos related to the currently selected video. You can also view the video details, which includes a variety of information including title, author, duration, view count and average rating. ” Read more about this great FREE application here:
