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!
The latest two code samples brings the total of UIQ 3 Tips, Tricks & Code articles published by Sony Ericsson Developer World to 56. This month, see how to get IP interface and routing information and receive incoming remote control commands.
Getting IP interface and route information on UIQ 3 phones
This UIQ 3 example shows how to display information about IP interfaces and routes that can be fetched from the operating system. The interface information fetched and displayed by the example application include the interface name, interface IP address, netmask, default gateway, broadcast address, name servers, MTU (maximum transfer unit) and approximate interface speed. The route information displayed include destination IP address (can be network or host address), network mask, gateway, interface address (for the interface connected to the destination) and metric for the route (cost of using the route).
Receiving incoming remote control commands, a UIQ 3 code example
The remote control framework, more often referred to as RemCon, is used in Symbian OS™ to handle remote control events arriving from an external source such as a wireless headset.
This very basic application demonstrates how to receive incoming remote control commands. Please note: this example application doesn't work in the UIQ 3 emulator.
