Read Ars Technica using Snaptu

Snaptu

As explained previously Snaptu is a free all-in-one application platform written in Java that gives a definitively iPhone-inspired look to your E71x

Once the Snaptu platform is installed you can browse for a list of Snaptu applications or web links and select the ones you want to see in the main screen.

One of the available applications is an Ars Technica reader. Ars Technica is a great technology news and information website but reading it on the small screen of the E71x using a web browser is somewhat cumbersome. The Snaptu app makes it much more efficient.


Ars Technica selected in the main screen.

Once Ars Technica is open you can select an article.


Note that you can scroll through the list of articles very quickly.


The font size is perfect and the pictures from the original articles are displayed along the text.

If you like Ars Technica, you will love this app... and if you are not familiar with Ars Technica yet you should check it out. It's certainly one of the best sources of information on computer technology.

Stay tuned for more Snaptu reviews...

Edit 18-OCT-2010: It seems that the version of Snaptu available in the Ovi Store works very well over Wi-Fi but not so well over 3G. You should launch it first over Wi-Fi and then select Upgrade from the menu to upgrade to the latest version 1.03(1)...
