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!

Leiden, The Netherlands – Today, mBrain Software announces the imminent release of three new editions of Pdf+, the leading PDF reader for Symbian smartphones
Pdf+ Basic offers basic functionality. Users can view all pages, go to any page, search for strings, set the zoom level, full screen and landscape mode and reflow the text. Chinese and Japanese PDF files are fully supported. Email attachments and PDF files downloaded from the Web can be read as well.
Pdf+ Standard offers in addition bookmark support, following of links, opening of websites, sending Emails and dialling phone numbers. Full support for password-protected PDF files is available in this version too.
Pdf+ Professional offers in addition full printing support. The creation of PDF files is possible through the inclusion of PdfPrinter, a printer driver that is capable of creating PDF files from most programs that can print.
All editions of Pdf+ support shortcuts for quick access to often-used commands.
”As the range of Symbian smartphones grows, the needs of their users are diverging more and more. It is now possible to choose the PDF reader that fits your needs, and that matches the capabilities of your device more closely.”, says Sander van der Wal, owner of mBrain Software.
Pdf+ Basic, Standard and Professional for S60 3rd edition will be available later this year, as will be Pdf+ Basic and Pdf+ Standard for UIQ 3.x. Pdf+ Professional for UIQ 3.x will be made available as soon as printing support for UIQ 3.x becomes available.
Pricing will be EUR 9,95 for Pdf+ Basic, EUR 19,95 for Pdf+ Standard and EUR 29,95 for Pdf+ Professional. All prices are excluding VAT.
It will be possible to upgrade from Pdf+ Basic to Pdf+ Standard, and from Pdf+ Standard to Pdf+ Professional for EUR 10,--.
Current S60 3rd edition and UIQ 3.x Pdf+ users will be able to upgrade for free to Pdf+ Professional.
