Globe Telecom, the leading telecommunications operator in the Philippines, and Nokia, today announced that Globe is the first operator in the world to offer their customers a fully integrated mobile online sharing experience with Nokia Nseries phones.
Without the need to download or install any additional applications, Globe customers can now upload their photos and video clips directly from their compatible Nokia Nseries device to G-Blogs, Globe's mobile blogging service. The first devices to support this feature are the Nokia N93 and Nokia N73 multimedia computers.
Globe customers can post entries to G-Blogs or Nokia's Lifeblog. Nokia's Lifeblog 2.0 comes in two parts; software that is loaded onto phones plus compatible software for PCs.
The N93 has a 3.2 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom, video capture, TV connection, integrated WiFi (b/g) and FM Radio. It runs on the S60 3rd Edition Operating System and features internal memory of up to 50 MB, which can be further expanded with a hot swap miniSD card of up to 2 GB, allowing users to capture up to 90 minutes of MPEG-4 VGA at 30 fps. It's expected to be available in July 2006.
The new devices also support direct uploading of photos to Flickr from the phone. The Flickr uploader can also be repointed to other services like Typepad.
Mobile Blog software abounds.
Mobile Linux may really open things up. Nokia's WiFi tablet comes with Google Talk. Mobile Burn reviews the Nokia N-80, a 3 megapixel camphone with WiFi and miniSD storage which will be available through Cingular. PhoneScoop has a N80 Video Tour.
Anyone could offer a Nintendo DS Lite or Nokia N Series (with WiFi) for $50. The mobile blog for nothin' and VoIP over WiFi for $20/month. Zoomr has geotags.
You don't need to be Walt Disney to cover a war. A PDA or Smartphone will do. Municipal WiFi is coming to dozens of cities. Explore & map your world.
With Platial you can make your own map mashup. Free.
Nothing could be easier. Or cheaper.
Here are some Flickr Photos I shot at HumaniNet's SimDay last week. HumaniNet supplies communications services for NGOs like Northwest Medical Teams. They were testing out a variety of satellite phones, WiFi networking and open source software. Story soon.
Look. Newspapers and television stations don't know anything. You've got the ball.
