Over the last few weeks I have been working with Marcel Nouwens', the developer of the WHS uTorrent Add-In, to update my guide to installing uTorrent as a service on WHS. The updated guide incorporates the use of a a nice little tool created by Marcel called AnyServiceInstaller, that simplifies the creation of the Windows Service, and a simple guide to installing the uTorrent Add-In as an extra option for controlling uTorrent.

I just came across this wonderful nugget of information on Mess.be, it appears there is a  Windows Live package available for Symbian S60 v3 phones, which of course includes the Nokia N95 itself.

As I've been waiting for this exact product I promptly downloaded, installed and had a quick play with this application and my first impression is 'Wow'.

Here are the some of the features as listed on Mess.be:

I wasn't certain if it was worthwhile posting this as it is posted on nearly every Nokia N95 related blog, but I guess that is the way of the blogosphere. According to the Symbian-Guru blog it looks as if we should expect a new N95 Firmware in the near future. Apparently the only known change is the addition of the A-GPS standard which increases the speed of the GPS lock-on and apparently allows you to get a lock-on while inside a building.

One of the features of Windows Home Server (WHS) that was introduced in the Consumer Technology Preview (CTP) is Add-Ins, WHS specific applications that run via the WHS Console. Unfortunately due to the many issues with the CTP build that I experienced I didn't really get a chance to look into the Add-Ins, but now that the Release Candidate (RC) is out I've made sure to have a play.

So far I have had a quick look at two of the Add-Ins, the two that I could see myself using; Whiist and an unofficial uTorrent Add-In.
