Everyone seems to be talking about this, linking to it, posting about it, and just, well, buzzing about it. What is it? Symella is a Gnutella client for Symbian smartphones. Gnutella is a Peer-to-Peer file sharing network system with many clients (and servers) available on various desktop operating systems (for desktop Gnutella clients check out this site). It is used for exchanging files, especially music, MP3 files. Because mobile phones have limited bandwidth and small memory card, this client focuses only for downloading, not sharing. It was created by using the experiences of reading the code of Gnucleus and LimeWire, and reading the Gnutella 0.6 draft. It is available on Symbian Series 60 - the Series 80 port will arrive soon! I think it's a great idea, but really, is at all that useful if you just want to be legal? Where's the Symbian Torrent client? Anyone? |
