Ovi Share had a soft launch a week back and I have just finished watching the Ovi Share demonstration at MWC and well my initial skepticism is somewhat gone. One of the things at the back of my mind was why make Ovi when there was already flickr and youtube and other services such as these. Nokia maintains that it will continue to support these services even after the roll out, odd at first but it does stand to reason. People have been using these services for a long time now and …

Update 2: Hands On With The N96 - After The Q&A Sessions!
The newest entrant into the Nseries lineup is the dual-sliding N96 - a turbo charged N95! It is expected to ship in the third quarter for 550 Euros unsubsidized, thats some waiting but I am going to have to say it is still exciting.
My first impressions are good. I still haven’t got it in my hands, but the problems which I had with N81 seem to be gone at …

It is past seven in the morning here in Barcelona and we leave for the MWC soon! Yesterday night all the bloggers part of the WOM World group including James from Nokia Creative, Norman from Symbian World, Mark from The Nokia Blog, Matthew from Darlamack, Stefanos from Pestaola, Amir from Phone Rush, and Neil from iGadget Life had somewhat of a jam session where we discussed our anticipations for tomorrow. Some of it was caught on video and is there at the Mobile World Congress virtual event.
Here is basically what I …

  
I have just come across this great application that allows us to play with mp3’s on the phone itself. It allows you to cut them, join them and even edit their tags! Brilliant work!
To cut, just select the mp3 file, play it and press ‘5′ to start the mark and ‘5′ again where you want the selection to end. Thats it, choose options and press save. A new cut file will be made with the same bitrate and named “…lite” and placed a the same location as the original file. …

 
Even the airport is all set!

I have my flight for Barcelona in a few minutes time! The next three days are probably going to be the most thrilling technology related days of my life and I am very excited.
I will be trying to get you the absolute latest as soon as I can. The next few days are as packed as packed can be with product launches (I think so), meetings with product managers, ovi share and the new maps taking most of the time. Plus there is the expo with hundreds of stalls…
I need …

 
The Mobile World Congress is one of the biggest mobility events of the year and this year I will be attending it! I’m looking forward to see some cool new gadgets and services related to the mobile world, although I am not quite sure what we will see. The N96 is a candidate for launch, so are the already leaked E66 and E71 apart from that lets see.

WOM World is also holding a virtual event and here is the itinerary for it (Thanks, Rita). From the looks of things it is …

 
After the pictures leak a while ago, Nokia’s German website (no longer works for me, but the cat is out of the bag!) has been a little hyperactive (retribution?) and has put up the N96 specs even before its announcement! This means that the N96 is on its way and will probably make its debut @ 3GSM.
Here they are:

Debashish Paul, Abhijit Kedia and Ganesh Palwe have combined FlashLite and the Accelerometer APIs to bring the iPhone’s touch flow to the Nseries. The application not released yet and is aptly titled “THE NO-TOUCH”. Great work guys!
Although I doubt if this will go mainstream as a new flash layout with album art will have to be made for different songs manually (I may be wrong) but still great demo!
