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!
Call'n Cash - Make real money with advertisements on your mobile!
Written by Rock Your Mobile!
Friday, 13 July 2007
German software developer Rock Your Mobile! has announced the release of its groundbreaking advertisement solution for mobile phones.
Using Call'n Cash technology, a standard implemented by Rock your mobile!, advertisements can now be distributed to mobiles based on specific target consumer needs and profiles.
The most crucial part of a mobile phone, the user interface allowing dialing numbers and placing a call, doesn’t offer many additional features on most mobiles available on the market today. This is where Rock your Mobile!’s solution comes in, allowing the placement of high-resolution graphical advertisements on the main user screen.
The tricky part is that the user actually gets paid for using the software on their mobile. As the advertisements show on the screen before, during and after a call is placed, the user automatically gets a predefined amount of money transferred to their user account.
Depending on how many calls are placed, considerable amounts can accumulate over a period of time. At the end of each month, these sums are transferred to the user.
Instead of paying for a complicated marketing campaign, involving agencies and indirect costs, the advertiser uses the regularity of placed calls and thus finances its direct consumer marketing by paying the consumer for watching the advertisements.
Along with the Call’n Cash technology, comes a dedicated database with simple user interface including Web-based user registration, statistical analysis for the advertisers, and user account balance information with possible connections to Web-based sales tools. Integrated into the mobile’s software client is an advertisement limiter as well as the necessary viewer for the advertisement image formats. Additionally, location based services can be integrated to allow direct regional marketing.
Supported device types: Symbian smartphones S60, S60 3rd Edition, and UIQ as well as the majority of Java-based mobile phones.
