Phil Northam: Samsung's Mobile InnovatorSamsung Mobile Innovator is the latest developer support program from a Symbian OS licensee. Richard Bloor caught up with Phil Northam, the program's Global Marketing Manager and one of its founding members, to find out more.
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!

New open source portal for developers launched
Nokia Mobility Conference 2005, Barcelona, Spain/Espoo, Finland - To foster mobile
software innovations, Nokia launched today opensource.nokia.com, a new Internet
portal for its open source software projects. This is a natural continuation of
Nokia's active involvement in the open source community. The projects presented
in the portal enable Nokia to share mobile software knowledge and innovations
with open source developers in order to further drive the mobile industry's development.
Nokia is currently working with the open source community on several projects,
such as the open source browser for S60 (Series 60), Maemo, URIQA (URI Query Agent),
and Python for S60. Bringing all these projects together, the new portal provides
a consolidated view of Nokia's open source activities and access to its open source
projects. The portal itself is built on top of Nokia's open source semantic web
architecture based on URIQA.
The open source browser for S60 3rd Edition is based on the work done in one
of Nokia's open source projects. The Maemo development platform provides the tools
and the opportunity to collaborate with Nokia on future devices and open source
releases in the Linux-based Internet Tablet category. Python for S60 allows the
developers who utilize the powerful Python programming language to execute Python
commands and run Python scripts and applications on S60 devices.
Open source initiatives are important components of Nokia's offerings in the
mobile marketplace. "We believe that open source development contributes to the
creation and rapid adaptation of mobile software technologies. The new portal
demonstrates our commitment to open source activities, and it is a natural extension
for our Forum Nokia online developer community. We welcome open source developers
to participate in innovations to Nokia's software platforms," says Lee Epting,
Vice President, Forum Nokia.
"Nokia Research Center as a leading research organization is looking at further
strengthening our relationship with and actively contributing to the open source
community. The new portal will give an excellent opportunity to work in an environment
of open innovation and create valuable results," says Dr. Bob Iannucci, Senior
Vice President and Head of Nokia Research Center.
In addition to its own open source projects, Nokia participates in industry-wide
open source projects and communities. One example is the Eclipse Foundation: an
open source community whose projects are focused on providing an extensible development
platform and application frameworks for building software. As a Strategic Developer
in the Eclipse Foundation, Nokia leads a project to deliver mobile developer tools
for Java and also contributes to several other Eclipse projects, outside the Java
scope.
