Cyke64, a PyS60 uber-hacker, spots the first bug in the book only three days after the book came out. There's a "import appuifw" statement missing in the Plug-in mechanism example (Example 109). The example is now fixed and updated in the book website.
Thanks Cyke64!

Is the book out now or will it be out in December? I tried to buy it from Amazon and supposedly it won't be published until December. Is there a way for me to order it now?
Thanks.

Sorry for you
But there were tons of it at the Symbian smartphone show.
Hey Ville I found a complete review of your book at allaboutsymbian
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/Book_review_Mobile_Python.php
It would be a good idea to publish this link on this blog

Hello ,
Here's a new link where Ville and Jurgen are talking about their book
http://developer.symbian.com/main/learning/press/books/python/interview.jsp
In my browser it seems that there's a problem with links (they are truncated ! :( :(
Is it a problem with Firefox or not ?
Please fix this problem ...

Hello,
There's also an error (typo) in Appendix B: Bluetooth Console, in one of the linux blocks (sorry, no page number, book is at home). The instructions say:
"sdptool add-channel=3 SP"
should be
"sdptool add --channel=3 SP"
Congratulations on the book btw, it communicates a great deal of enthusiasm on your part for this tech.
There is also an error in the set default access. You forgot to import e32. Btw, I am trying to purchase your book in India, but there are no bookshops keeping your book. I am wondering if there is an ebook which I can get hold of?
Thank you very much.
vocabulector doesn't work
missing import e32
Hello authors, very nice book!
Don't know if you're still maintaining this blog/errata, but I've just found a bug in the very first example ("First PyS60 program"): you're doing a narrowing conversion of the user input to an ascii bytestring, which absolutely throws a unicodeerror for any nontrivial nonenglish name/word. I suggest changing the str() conversion to unicode() or maybe leaving out the conversion altogether.
Page 153:
Use signal_dbm() instead of dbm()
In my cellphone, Example 14 gives a Errno -46, PermissionDenied.
Probably the application can't access the inbox. Any ideas ?
