A note from Nokia reps this week informs us that the Nokia viNe application will be rolled out of Beta soon... possibly even this week. viNe is a web service that enables users of the application to share their journeys, along with media collected along the way. As a long-time Sports Tracker user, N95 enthusiasts, and evangelist of all things mobile and geospatial, I was provided with a pre-release version of viNe - details and a complete "How To" install and use the application are provided... enjoy! Enter Nokia viNe 101
It was back in June 2008 that the E71 was officially released to the public - the selling points for the E71 were a sleek, stylish do-it-all device that came with Mail for Exchange mobile email client - pre-loaded with the Nokia E71. Actually, the device boasted much much more than these attributes as you'll see below in my findings after having the pleasure of making the E71 my main device for 3 weeks... enjoy the recap, the images and the videos!

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that the dedicated mini site has gone
live for the upcoming role playing N-Gage title RIFTS at www.rifts-promiseofpower.com
The site went live on Saturday, April 2, on the 49th birthday of its creator,
Mr. Kevin Siembieda.
The site will excite and fulfil gamers who are waiting for news of the hotly
anticipated game - the first ever videogame of the world-renowned and much-loved
RIFTS pen-and-paper role-playing series from Palladium Books®, Inc. In RIFTS:
Promise of Power players get a classic mix of real time movement, turn-based combat
and a diverse party of adventurers in a variety of 3D environments. The game also
comes stacked with multi-player options that make full use of the connectivity
features of the N-Gage platform.

a production diary, character bios, FAQs and brand new screenshots. A downloadable
demo of the game will be released this summer as well.
Shane Neville, producer of RIFTS: Promise of Power says, "When the opportunity
came to bring RIFTS to N-Gage, I was overjoyed. The RIFTS Megaverse® is a great
fit for the N-Gage platform. It's a unique world that has infinite possibilities
and endless opportunities for adventure. And it's never been made into a video
game before - this is both a great privilege and a tremendous responsibility and
one that the teams at Nokia and Backbone Entertainment are behind 110%."
