PREVIEW – IMDb Widget for Symbian 5th
Good news to all IMDb fans with a Symbian 5th Edition phones! Thanks to the amazing service provided by Jeffrey Tummers (blog.thumnet.com) I was finally able to create an IMDB application for phones such as Nokia 5800, N97 (mini), X6 and so on. The application is currently in final testing and will be released soon. Here is a little sneak peak on what’s coming.

As IMDb does not have an API that would allow you to create apps like this the data has to be scraped from the IMDb.com website. This is achieved by the service built by Jeffrey Tummers (see above). Changes in the IMDb site might break the data feed used by my IMDb Widget so enjoy it while it lasts.
This is how it goes when you search for a movie title:
There is even support for TV-series and episodes:
That’s it for now – expect more news very soon!
