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!
Encirq Corporation, the global leader in device data management and the creator of DeviceSQL, has announced the immediate availability of the DeviceSQL Quick Start Suite, a freely downloadable version of DeviceSQL coupled with an interactive, on-line tutorial to help embedded software engineers learn and use more efficient, best practice-based approaches for managing data in their device software applications.
Free Download Provides DeviceSQL Coupled with Interactive Tutorial for Device Data Management
The DeviceSQL Quick Start Suite combines the industry's highest performing device data management technology with an interactive, self-paced tutorial. The tutorial steps users through a primer on device data management, exercises with example code and a demo application, and helps them employ advanced, resource-efficient techniques for manipulating and managing device data. The DeviceSQL Quick Start Suite is a self-contained environment and provides users with everything they need to design and build device applications with the DeviceSQL framework.
"We are delighted to share DeviceSQL with the worldwide community of device software engineers," said Eugene Buechele, CTO at Encirq. "The Quick Start Suite makes it simple to learn advanced, yet easy-to-use approaches for managing data, while familiarizing users with the control and performance they achieve using DeviceSQL. This allows developers to easily self-educate, evaluate and build prototype solutions, resulting in dramatic proof points, all without risking an investment in new software."
Users of the DeviceSQL Quick Start Suite also gain access to the DevZone area on the Encirq website. In the DevZone, developers are able to participate in community-based forums, get tips and pointers from Encirq data management experts and access additional technical resources.
Pricing and Availability
The DeviceSQL Quick Start Suite is free of charge and available for immediate download from the Encirq website at www.encirq.com. The DeviceSQL Quick Start Suite provides users with a perpetual, non-commercial use license for Windows environments. Once developers are ready to deploy their solutions for a non-Windows device platform or for commercial use, they can obtain the appropriate DeviceSQL Platform Environment along with DeviceSQL commercial-use licenses by contacting Encirq or an authorized DeviceSQL distributor.
