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!

Join the location conversation at Where 2.0 2008 Where 2.0 2008 May 12-14, 2008 Burlingame, CA http://conferences.oreilly.com/where
What are the hot new technologies that will change the way we think about mapping information? The data mashups that will change the way we travel? The innovations that drive local search and shopping? The ultra-local killer app that's about to take off?
We don't need a map to tell us where the geospatial industry is heading, but we do need your input. Proposals are due November 26, 2007.
To submit a proposal to map the future of the geo-spatial industry visit: http://en.oreilly.com/where2008/public/cfp/1
Now in its fourth year, the Where 2.0 Conference is where you'll find open source mapping tools, open standards for data and location web services, and sensors for obtaining location data. You'll learn how the established geo industry is reacting to the first businesses making money from their grassroots geospatial projects. There's no better place to meet the people behind the mash-ups, the people behind the platforms, and the people looking ahead to the future of geospatial.
We don't chase trends, we present them. And that's where you come in. We are seeking proposals, product demonstrations, mashups, and cool new hacks that change the way we think about location based technology.
What are the technology-leading innovations you are working on late into the night? If you are working in the following areas, we want to hear from you:
GeoTargeting
Sensorweb
Open Source Geo-Stack
Real Time Data
Disaster Relief/Environment/NGOs
Crowd Sourced Data
Virtual Worlds
These are just of a few of the topics on our radar screen as we map out the next Where 2.0 Conference. Join us at Where 2.0 to debate and discuss what's viable now, and what's lurking just below the radar. Submit a proposal to make a presentation, lead conference sessions or deliver tutorials at the next Where 2.0. http://en.oreilly.com/where2008/public/cfp/1
