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!

Pdf+ (for S60 3rd edition smartphones) is a reader for PDF documents, which are also known as Adobe® Acrobat® files. Optimized for mobile phones, Pdf+ is very easy to use, fast, small and packs a lot of features.
The File view (Nokia E90).
The file view gives you an overview of the PDF documents on your device, and you can manage and open them easily. Pdf+ also remembers the last 10 files you have opened. You can open password-protected files, and files encrypted with 40 and 128 bits Standard encryption.
Dial a phone number (Nokia E61).
In the page view, you get all the functions you'd expect, such as displaying specific pages, searching, zooming, full screen mode and displaying and following bookmarks and links. You can even dial a phone number.
Keyboard shortcuts give quick access to most functions. The built-in help text explains the use of the program in detail.
You can reflow the text of a document to make it fit the small screen of a smartphone. You can set column mode to make reading pages using columns of text much easier. You can save your favorite view settings, and you can select which font will be used for standard PDF fonts.
Pdf+ displaying a Japanese document (Nokia N95).
Pdf+ can display PDF documents in almost all languages. For displaying certain Chinese and Japanese documents you can install a plug-in.
When using Pdf+ Pro, you can even print the document, and create PDF files with PdfPrinter, which is part of the Pdf+ Pro package.
Pdf+ is a native viewer. There is no need to convert a PDF document with your PC to a proprietary format, saving you much time, money and hassle. You can therefore send PDF documents using E-mail, Infrared and Bluetooth, and you can immediately read PDF documents you received as E-mail attachments, or you downloaded from the Web.
