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!
Flash developers can now start testing the next generation of Flash Lite content on a range of S60 3rd Edition devices.
Adobe has made available a download of Flash Lite 3. It can be loaded onto most S60 3rd Edition devices, however it can only be used to play stand alone Flash content, there is no browser integration and it cannot be used for Flash Lite screensavers.
The availability of Flash Lite 3 in the next generation of S60 devices (based on S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2) will have the potentially to accelerate the use of the Web from S60 devices. With the ability to render most existing Flash 8 Web content the annoyance of being unable to browse a Web site on the Web Browser for S60, because it is Flash based, should largely disappear. Not to mention support for Flash Video, which effectively means YouTube.
For Flash Lite developers the player will offer opportunities to create richer content and games. Flash Lite 3 should be pre-loaded in devices shipping in early 2008.
Check out the feature and download the player from Adobe Labs.
