N95 RSS FeedN95 + Pictbridge = simple prints
July 3rd, 2008
Stuck for a quick solution to a problem, Steve Litchfield from All About Symbian wasn’t going to roll over and give up. He was sure his encyclopaedic S60 knowledge would provide an answer, and blow us if it didn’t!
The problem – how to explain to the plumbing merchant what part he needed for the loft plumbing. The solution – take a snap using an N95 and use PictBridge to quickly and easily print out a 6×4 to take to show the guy. Instead of fiddling around with Paintshop Pro, Steve just quickly and easily used a USB direct to his printer and within 5 minutes of the flash going off he was holding his print. Showing the phone screen may have worked, but there are some things that just demand a bigger picture than even the N95 screen can show. Simple, quick, and a darn sight easier than looking like a plumbing n00b in the shop.
So what emergency circumstances have you employed PictBridge for? Is there an even easier way that Steve missed? Head over and let him know what you think of his method.

When the N95 met ABC…
July 2nd, 2008
Steve Garfield has been using his N95 to stream live to Qik, and his most recent video is a doozy.
Capturing the time that his Mom was interviewed for ABC News, Steve explains to the crew and presenter that what he’s filming is going out live to the internet and it’s all done through his Nokia N95. Cue completely baffled ‘techies’ and the totally confused-yet-potentially-amazed interviewer. Steve (and his mother) are clearly enjoying the fact that they have baffled the crew, and it’s a victory for Nokia and Qik fans across the planet over satellite trucks!
Well done, Steve. Have you got any examples of your device totally amazing someone? Managed to defeat someone’s logic by using your handset? Go on, brag – it’s allowed – and let Steve know what you did.

S60 devices killed the radio star
July 2nd, 2008
Jaganath Achari from Digital Rover contends that streaming radio – which he listens to on his N95 (other S60 devices are available) – is killing traditional radio.
He reckons the hundreds of internet stations available give a user independence (from being tied to the location of the radio, be it in a room or in a car). He says that 3rd party apps such as Tunin.FM and Spodtronic (the most ‘professional and beautiful looking’ app available) allow the user complete freedom of choice when selecting their station.
Martin from gHacks.net reckons that the WiFi capabilities of many S60 devices nowadays gives users a ‘huge advantage’ over owners of other devices, and highlights an app called HandyWi that alerts the consumer to the proximity of a WiFi hotspot. It differentiates between public WLAN networks, and shows which are secure and which aren’t. It also handily connects the device to the hotspot with the strongest signal, which saves the user from having to try several points before gaining access to email or the internet. Great for the busy user who doesn’t have time to mess around searching for hotspots.
What do you think of these opinions? How have WiFi and streaming radio changed your life? Jump through the links above to share your thoughts.

Speed up your S60
June 30th, 2008
Mike from The Nokia N82 Blog has come up with a way to make navigating your device quicker by rearranging your menus and folders, making it easier to find the application that you’re after. Also, he gives us tips on using the keypad to shortcut to items on the screen. Handy tips for those who find themselves endlessly searching through menus to reach the app they’re after.
Mark Guim from The Nokia Blog has provided another of his excellent videos demonstrating SkyeQuikey, a nifty way of finding your way to any contact, app or bookmark. Downloading the helpful app will allow you to simply type the first few letters of any of the above to be taken straight there.
Both excellent ways to cut down on the time it takes to get from A to B, and reduce frustrations trying to find where you want to be. Head over to either of the sites above and ask any questions, or add your thoughts on what ways you have found to cut down time.

N95 app: Cop cam catcher
June 30th, 2008
It was only going to be a matter of time, what with Nokia Maps and GPS, but someone has developed a speed camera warning system for the N95. Both Neil Bird from iGadgetLife and Apoc from Symbian Freak report on the app.
Running in the background whilst Nokia Maps or any other app runs in the foreground, and pops up an audio-visual warning whenever a speed trap approaches. Handy for those of us zipping around the country (legally, of course) and who have been caught out by obviously poorly calibrated cameras. Neil describes the numerous and lengthy processes to get the software installed, but says it is worth it for the peace of mind that you get from knowing you are under the speed limit. Apoc provides some advice on where to get the relevant files and downloads to make your life easier.
Do you think this app will help when you’re driving? Is there anything else you’d like to see added? Jump over and leave Neil a comment, or have your say in the SF forum thread.

T9nav for S60 in review, plus Shozu embraces Ovi
June 27th, 2008
Zach on Symbian in Motion is a big fan of SkyeQuiKey, the app for controlling and launching a number of items by typing direct from your Active Standby screen. He has however happened upon a competitor in this arena in the form of T9nav.
Zach pitches T9nav against the benchmarks set by SkyeQuiKey and while it does the job, it doesn’t live up to his expectations. Jump over for Zach’s full review.
In other application news, Mobile Diva Darla Mack has brought the news that Share on Ovi has now been integrated into Shozu (along with 8 other services, bringing the total to 46!). Jump over for the full article.

N95, creature of the deep…
June 27th, 2008
We’re big fans of Innovative uses for Nokia devices round here, which is why we love it when James Burland dusts down his wet suit…
With the aid of nothing more than a plastic bag and nerves of steel James, of Nokia Creative, has filmed some underwater antics proving the N95 really can do quite a lot of things you wouldn’t expect!

N95, N95 8GB and E61i battle the Glastonbury mud
June 26th, 2008
Fans of the UK music scene can’t have failed to notice that Glastonbury is kicking off this week.
Attending this years party is one James Whatley who, in true Whatley style, will be coping with the entire experience with the aid three - count ‘em - Nokia handsets: the N95, N95 8GB and the E61i.
As well as these devices, James has provided a run down of the accessories he’ll be using (largely for power) and apps that will be helping him as he battles the Somerset mud-plains, including Qik, Spinvox and Oranges ‘GlastoNav’ software, designed specifically for coping with the festival. Worth a look if you’re heading down there yourself.
Jump over to SMS Text News to read the article and leave your comments, or check out on the Glastonblog to keep up to date with the revelry without getting at all mucky!

N95 is out of this world
June 25th, 2008
Guardian of the N95 Photo Awards, James Burland at Nokia Creative has been giving himself, rather than the N95 camera, a work out and making great use of Nokia Step Counter.
He’s currently on day 2 of his work outs with Step Counter, and will be keeping readers up to date with his progress. Nip over to find day 1’s results as well.
In other N95 related news from James, though slightly left field, is the bizarre story of the Englishman who captured a UFO on video… with his N95. Check out Jame’s take on the story, you know you want to!.

Thoughts on the N95 as a camera
June 25th, 2008
The Musings of a VC in NYC have moved in the direction of the N95, and in particular its use as a camera when travelling.
The imaging capabilities of the N95 come out very well in this post, though Fred has had more problems with the general connectivity of the device. A look at the comments thread points to the discrepancy in 3G frequencies used by US and European versions of the device as the problem. The comments also contain a great range of views from different types of users, including thoughts on the UI, comparisons and, of course, more on the camera.
