Nokia Sports Tracker holiday idea - track your sled rides with GPS

I have some holiday fun with the kids today as we used Nokia Sports Tracker and my Nokia N95 to track and save our sled rides down the slopes. Before we started down the slope I simply fired up sports tracker, got a GPS signal, slipped it into Megan's pocket and away she went. Her average speed up and down the slope was 4.8 kmph (slowed somewhat by the walk back up the hill1) and her maximum speed down the slope was a whopping 26.1 kmph (about 16 mph)... loads of fun!

Nokia N95 Firmware Update Tip v 20.0.015

Those of you that are brave might consider checking to see if your N95 1 mobile device has the latest firmware. If you haven't updated in a couple of months then you don't have the latest - be sure to perform a complete backup of your apps and data prior to this update!
Tips:
Find your current software version by entering *#0000# on your Nokia device's keypad. The version number will look similar to this: V 12.3.456

To find the latest available device software update, you need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery and will look similar to this: CODE: 0520001

Nokia's MOSH gets a new look

Been to MOSH lately? If not you'll notice a new look next time you go there. The site is reoganized slightly and the experience when you browse and upload is slightly different. Most notable is the seek visibility... you can seek for items based on name, title, tags etc... so for example, seek "maps" and whenever new content gets posted that meets your criteria you'll be notified. Or, if you upload something you'll then be notified of people that are seeking what you just uploaded.. quite intelligent really. See http://mosh.nokia.com/user/gisuser

Get Taxi Fare estimates and maps on your mobile with TaxiWiz

TaxiWiz - what a clever mashup and a fine mobile app.. TaxiWiz is now available for 9 cities and hopefully more soon! Enter a start point and destination and taxiwiz routes you on Google maps, predicts a fare, and even can provide directions and routing... this is awesome! Using the PC version simply click a start and end point on the Google map and your route is traced. You are then presented with distance of trip, suggested taxi fee + tip, and then optional routing directions. The site also offers taxi tips to users as a handy extra. See www.taxiwiz.com

The TaxiWiz Mobile app as seen using Nokia N95 8GB device. Ideally I'd love to see this app taken a couple of steps further, for example, how about integrating it with Google Maps mobile? Since I have Google maps on my device perhaps an option to see the route on a map would be a nice offering. I'd also like to see an option to call a cab company or search for local cab companies... this app could be HUGE!

No Twitter via T-Mobile?? Bogus

I've been reading today that T-Mobile apparently cut off access to twitter by its users.. I don't get it! I just sent a message to Twitter via my mobile device using txt messaging enabled via Twitter and it works just fine! Mindyou, I have an unlocked device that I use so perhaps that's the iussue! I guess if T-mobile users really can't send to twitter they could use a third party app like Twibble - see also the Twitter blog

Don't you just love all those self-proclaiming tidbits that you find all over the web like, the number 1 site, or the Global Leader, or the World's greatest, yadayadayada... god that fluff drives me nuts! I just hit another new mobile tech site.. apparently it's "the #1 site for wireless users" ... hell, I never heard of them and they have a bustling forum with 2 threads in it.. ya, I can see that your #1! We see these headlines leading off in PR items all the time and yet you have to wonder, does anyone really ever believe any of that fluff? Maybe the next time you think about boasting about how your #1 you could back it up somehoe... now that would be impressive... food for thought.

The Green Nokia - Nokia Evolving for a more sustainable future

Nokia is a Global leader in their market, no questioning that. So, perhaps their move to make "greener" more environmentally sound decisions in their business processes will spread to others... indeed they are a good role model for action. I have to say that one aspect of the Nokia World event that took me a bit by surprise was the company’s vision for a greener future and their commitment to deliver eco-friendly products and sustainable solutions… very impressive in my mind! Charting a new course – expect a Nokia that will take more risks to help shape the future of mobile communications.

Enter the Green device – Nokia 3110 Evolve

True testament to Nokia’s commitment to a sustainable World comes with the launch of a new, eco-friendly device – the Nokia 3110 Evolve. The device is made from 50% renewable material, and delivered in a smaller package made from recycled materials – indeed the dawn of a new era for the company. We were told that if 100 million mobile device users switched to energy efficient models, the energy savings could power some 37,000 homes! Some features of the 3110:
- sustainable and stylish
- natural tones and contrasting material finishes
- covers made from unpainted bio-sourced materials
- smaller packaging
- energy efficient charger, using 94% less energy than the standard charger.

Power efficient chargers will ship with new devices.


Made from recylcable materials and shipping in eco-friendly packages!

Geolocated photos into Google Maps or Google earth via Geo-RSS with ease

This may be old-school for some of you, others will appreciate this simple tip. All you need here is a Nokia N95 or other GPS-enabled device, some geotagged photos, a flickr account, a geo-RSS feed, and a Google account (optional) - read on for this simple GeoRSS photo feed, google map tutorial. If you use a GPS-enabled cameraphone (like the Nokia N95, N82, Nokia Navigator etc...) then you can easily post your photos to flickr or other online services (use a tool like Shozu to help with this). But did you know that Flickr creates a Geo-RSS feed from your photo stream? Even better, you can simply copy and paste your Geo-RSS feed location into the google maps search bar and voila... your photos are now available via Google maps to share with others, save to your mymaps or whatever the heck you want to do. Simply look at the bottom of your flickr page, you'll see options like RSS, GeoFeed and KML - yes you can easily open your photos in Google Earth too with a flickr provided KML file!

For users of Google, if you save your custom map in your MyMaps you'll have the ability to easily share your map feeds and you can even embed them in a webpage or blog.

Go to your flickr page, scroll to the bottomcopy the GeoRss feed url
jump back to google maps
paste the RSS feed url into the search bar and click "search maps"
click the "Link to this page" you can grab a link or embed the map into your webpage.

The link to this page provides a link back to Google Maps where you can view the photos

Selecting the Paste html code into your webpage is simple and displayed below - this is a live Google Map pulling my geotagged photos from the GeoRSS feed via Flickr.

Another Nokia N95 up on Ebay.. when will it end?

Looks like Ed Parsons has joined the growing number of ex-N95 users and hopped on the iPhone bandwagon - no real surprise really as Ed comes from the Google camp is likely pressured internally to drink the cool aid! Too bad although ed does have some good points... indeed the second iteration of the N95 is much superior to the original (too bad I still have the original N95 -- and I'm one the biggest advocates of the N95.. go figure!). Ed's reason.. usability and you can't blame him.. Nokia smartphones indeed have the ability to run much more software and the applications available for the S60 ecosystem are plentiful to say the least. Here in North America no carriers (that I know of) are boasting the N95 whereas AT&T is pushing the iPhone.. no doubt some politics as it's THE smartphone of choice for the company to promote.. add to the fact that the AT&T CEO is not big on Nokia and feels the devices are full of flaws and he's also majorly ticked off that us here in North America get the latest Nokia devices months after they come to Europe. I'll still never be able to figure out Nokia's plans for North America and once again it seems that they are letting the iPhone steal more marketshare from themm just wait til next year when Android enabled devices come to market.. will there be any Nokia and Symbian OS faithful left in North America?

AT&T CEO on Symbian smartphones in the US

A great interview over at engadget has the CEO of AT&T on the hotseat. He apparently doesn't hold back and is ticked off because the Europeans get all the cool devices months ahead of us and he cites devices that are full of flaws as another reason for devices like the N75 and E62 dragging their heels getting to market in the US. Sounds like a lame excuse to me... hey de la Vega, start stocking some freaking Symbian smartphones at AT&T will ya!! More on this over at symbianone or see the interview at Engadget

T-Mobile USA with more flexible customer contracts

This from T-Mobile.. perhaps some relief from those pesky contract penalties... T-Mobile USA, Inc. has announced upcoming changes that will result in a new and more flexible policy for customers entering into contracts for service with T-Mobile USA. Under the company’s new guidelines, early termination fees (ETFs) will decline during the course of a customer’s contract with T-Mobile. The new ETF policy, and the specific details of the policy, are expected to be finalized and introduced in the first half of 2008. When they become effective, the terms will apply to new customers as well as current customers renewing contracts with T-Mobile. We'll wait and see what happens with this!

GPShopper (Slifter) Wins Tele Atlas Maps in Apps Contest

A cool app for your handset... think if it as your own personal mobile concierge... Become a GPS Shopper! Kudos to Slifter and their GPS shopper on this win... the app is indeed cool, to say the least! I recall I first featured Slifter last Christmas (prior to their fame) as an application to watch. GPShopper (www.gpshopper.com) is the first ever local mobile phone product search. With big name retailers and over 50 million products, GPShopper and its revolutionary Slifter (www.slifter.com) technology allows consumers to receive up-to-the-minute product availability, location and pricing right on their cell phones.
