Need a web-cam for an instant messaging Windows client? If you have a Symbian smartphone, Warelex’s Mobiola Web Camera software might help. The application installs on your Symbian device and also adds a corresponding webcam driver on your desktop or notebook. Once installed, you simply use either a USB or Bluetooth connection between your handset and your computer for an instant webcam.

Warelex indicates compatibility with Skype, Yahoo, MSN, AOL IM, ICQ messengers as well as YouTube and My Space. There’s a trial that’s limited to 5-minutes per use and it expires after a week. Check the product page for supported devices, although most of the high-end N- and E-series devices are there. Prices are around $12 for S60 Second Edition devices and $20 for S60 Third Editions.
