My Last.fm S60 Client - aspyplayer

In the last few days I've been working on a S60 music player with Last.fm scrobbling capabilities because most of time I listen to musics in my N95. I'd the idea to build this application months ago, but only now, in my last week of vacation I had time and today I released the first beta version (ugly UI and barely working) at: http://code.google.com/p/aspyplayer/

Some screenshots for this first beta release are available at: http://code.google.com/p/aspyplayer/wiki/screenshots

I'm writing the application in python (pyS60), which for me, currently is the best development platform for Symbian devices. However, it has a lot of limitations compared to C++ on S60 devices.

The application architecture kinda follows DDD, with a basic MVP for the presentation layer. The last time I did some development in python was about 5 years ago, so the code is not that good yet. The sources can be seen at: http://code.google.com/p/aspyplayer/source/browse. Code reviews are welcome.

Now I'll work on the UI, which currently is very ugly and I have to refactor some code to decouple the file system libraries from the model putting it in the infrastructure layer. Besides that, I have to create more unit tests.

Any kind of feedback is welcome.

BTW, yesterday I found an amazing last.fm client for iPhone/iPod Touch, it's called MobileScrobbler. It's too bad that the S60 interfaces sucks when compared to iPhone interface which is fantastic.

My current "must read" technical readings

Although I read more than one hundred of blogs (~4500 posts in the last 30 days) using the kickass Google Reader and be a member of several mailing lists, I don't read everything with the same priority. I read ASAP only few blogs/lists that I consider important/cool, others sometimes I read months after I noticed them in my google reader or gmail.

The following items are my current "must read" technical readings:

In paper I usually read non-technical (computer) stuff, currently I'm reading the applied psychology books from "The Personal MBA", the current one it's my third and till now all were great readings.
