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!
SEPT-Solutions, the leading provider of OpenDocument software for mobile devices, has announced a new version of its award-winning “Mobile Office” application. This updates the version for S60 3rd Edition as well as UIQ 3 to version 1.2.
This new version adds the ability to open password protected and encrypted ODF files. SEPT-Solutions claims this to be the first such implemetation for smartphones. This enhanced security support makes ODF on smartphones significantly more attractive for enterprises as similar security features are as yet not available on those applications providing Microsoft Office document support on smartphones.
Mobile Office 1.2 is also fully compatible with the Nokia N95 multimedia computer and the Nokia E90 Communicator. In addition to the security support. In addition there are a number of other ODF document support imptovements. The full list of improvements includes:
Fully compatible with the Nokia N95 multimedia computer and the Nokia E90 Communicator.
Support of password encrypted ODF files.
New tabs for C:\ and E:\ in the file browser providing faster startup and a better overview.
Goto keyboard shortcuts - * for the start of a document, # for the end.

The ISO certified OpenDocument format is used by many well known desktop applications such as OpenOffice, StarOffice, Lotus Symphony, and KOffice as their default file format. With Mobile Office, user can read those files while mobile without the need to convert them to other formats which can compromise on formatting and ODF features.
Part of SEPT-Solutions long term plan is to provide editing for ODF documents as well. While there is still no word on the release of this feature, Mobile Office provides excellent support to those organisation looking for mobile support for their cost effective ODF document editing software.
