It’s now possible to upgrade the firmware of the N95 8GB through the Nokia software update service to version 15.0.015 (depending on your country and operator specific software this may not yet be available to all). This upgrade is not only about improving the quality and performance of the software, but introduces also - for the first time in devices - two major new S60 functionalities, namely Flash Lite 3 and Web Run-time.

Flash Lite 3 support means you can browse web sites with Flash video content. Sites like YouTube, MySpace, etc. can be viewed just like you do with your desktop browser. Now you don’t need to be satisfied with just a subset of videos converted to mobile video formats.

Web Run-time enables new types of applications - widgets - to be installed and run on devices. Widgets are small, lightweight applications created using standard web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, style sheets, etc. There are already tens of Widgets available e.g. through the Nokia MOSH service
