Nokia N97 … Looking forward to getting one
Posted by Richard in Nokia Saturday, 20 June o 11:32 3 Comments
A few weeks ago I sent the N97 prototypes back to the factory, and placed my order for a new one. Should be on it’s way in late June or early July.
I’m really looking forward to using it, especially for social networking with the facebook app and gravity for twitter. I also plan to use it for email, youtube, maps, taking photos and listening to my music collection. I’ve setup Nokia multimedia transfer for mac so that I can easily transfer my entire iTunes music library to the N97 via bluetooth.

Nokia N78 Automatic Home Sync & This DLNA stuff really works!
Posted by Richard in Nokia Tuesday, 19 August o 22:35 No Comments
A few weeks ago I decided to test out the new Automatic Home Sync feature of the Nokia N78, after all one of the businesses I’m responsible for at Nokia is “Connected Home”. So I setup the N78 home media to work with the connected home demo system we have in the San Francisco office, clicked on Home Sync on my mobile and left the N78 at my desk for about 10 mins. When I picked it up I had over 200 songs and fifty photos — all synced wirelessly.
When I left the office later that day, I used the N78 to take a few photos. Next day, as I walked into the office, the photos were automatically synced wirelessly to the PC used in our demo. Within 30 minutes one of my colleagues was looking at them on the DLNA enabled TV. This UPnP/DLNA stuff really works.

Train to Tampere
I really like taking the express train from Helsinki to Tampare, where one of the teams I work with is situated. The train is quiet and gives me time to catch up on email, using my Nokia N95 8GB to connect my MacBook Air to the Internet. Normally, the trip takes 94 minutes. The scenery is even better now that the snow has gone.
One evening, earlier this month, the return journey took nearly 3 hours. There was a fire at one of the stations, right next to the tracks, and trains were stopped. Luckily the train I was on was one of the first to get through.
