Keynetik Rock-N-Scroll And Hi-N-Bye For S60v3 Feature Pack 2

While other accelerometer applications only support the Nokia N95 and N82, Keynetik is looking ahead, with new versions of its Rock-N-Scroll and Hi-N-Bye accelerometer applications designed specifically for S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 devices, such as the Nokia N85, N96, and N79. S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 uses a different framework for the accelerometer, and it’s nice to see a company on the forefront of accelerometer-based applications already supporting it. We also have 10 free licenses to give away, so read on to find out how you can win!

If you’re not familiar with Keynetik’s applications, Rock-N-Scroll is a simple application that uses your phone’s accelerometer to navigate the menus, replacing the d-pad with motion. You can simply tilt your phone in a given direction to move, and then shake it slightly to ‘click’ on something. There’s a handful of settings, so that you can customize the experience, as well.

Currently, Rock-N-Scroll does *not* support the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, but they’re working on that, and hope to have a compatible version available soon. Given that the 5800 XpressMusic is lacking a d-pad, Rock-N-Scroll could be a great boon to using that particular phone.
