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!

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!
PixSense is a new way of taking, sharing, and managing pictures and videos captured with your camera phone. PixSense makes taking, sharing, and managing pictures with camera phones really easy; it makes it so simple, that all you do is Click, and then you're Done.
PixSense transforms camera phone users' photography experience to where they now focus on just one thing: taking pictures.
PixSense takes a holistic approach to managing the entire lifecycle of each digital photograph. Our patent-pending technology bridges the technology barriers between camera phones, carrier networks, and personal computers. The PixSense solution involves native camera phone client software and server-side software that work seamlessly together to give users all the functionality they want, in exactly one click.
In that "one click", PixSense users get effortless photo-uploading, smart categorization, intelligent image quality enhancement, personal publishing and sharing services, unlimited lifetime storage, and a full-featured Web and phone gallery.
How It All Started
It all started when Anurag’s wife returned her brand new gazillion pixel digital camera to buy a trusty film camera. "There has to be a better way to take and manage pictures" said Anurag. And that’s the idea we spent ages working on at the Castro Street Starbucks.
Personal photography’s too important to be a niche activity. Camera phones were supposed to make it easy but they don’t. It’s easy enough to take a picture but then what do you do with it? How do you get it off the phone? How do you share it? How do you save it? How do you categorize it? How do you stop getting those annoying "out of memory" messages? How do you improve the quality of those little pictures? How do you print a camera phone picture? Those were some of the questions we asked and tried to answer.
Many hundred house coffees, and several frozen green tea frappuccinos later, we came up with PixSense: a better way to take and manage pictures. Something that works so simply that all you have to remember to do is Click, and then, you’re Done. Click. Done.
