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!
According to a recent report, Nokia has ported the Apache web server to Symbian,
enabling mobile phones (any S60 2nd Edition Device) to act as an Internet web
server
By way of linuxdevices... "Nokia says it installed its experimental port, initially, on a Nokia 6630, which
it then accessed over a Bluetooth PAN (personal area network). This proved somewhat
useful, in that it brought "the possibility of accessing functionality on the
phone using a big screen and proper keyboard." ... Ultimately, Nokia says it was
able to develop a gateway application, released under the open source Apache2
license, said to be capable of providing a webserver on a mobile phone with a
URL accessible from any Internet browser.
Advantages and sample applications enabled by the technology include managing
a weblog, instant messaging, and using the phone as a webcam.
Note: This effort is part of Nokia's Racoon Project, a freely downlaodable open source
effort available via SourceForge - this Apache port was developed using a Nokia 6630 device.
