    Hi vaibhav,
    I read, re-read and re-read again the post of yours about playing music and videos wirelessly over the phone from your pc. I was able to play music wirelesslt without downloadind on my n95 phone. however for some reason the videos file cannot be played despite the format of the video is mp4. And 3gp format is not accepted by Windows media player. Is there any othe application I can use instead of WMP which can stream videos. help me pleasse.

    this blog sucks. useful information but no updates. it is disappointing when everyday a reader like me visits sites like this with a talented author writing it but it is sad and a bit annoying to see hardly any updates.

    Not a good sign for readers, vaibhav.

  8. Vaibhav Sharma Says:

    Thank you for the feedback. I am pretty aware of the lack of posts and that should be sorted out in a day, my laptop had developed a few issues and I have a new one now! We should be back very soon!

    Dear Vaibhav,

    I have recently read the “allaboutsymbian.com” review on Nokia maps 2.0. The thing that caught my eye is pedestrian mode.

    However I am not impressed but rather distresses with it. I would say “Nokia has missed the boat”. Heck, I would even comment “Nokia killing people than connecting people”

    People can only do one thing at a time. Now if Nokia wants people to look at the mobile screen which intelligently displays the orientation it faces, you cannot concentrate on walking which requires observation. Of course you can do it simultaneously but it is dangerous.

    Nokia could have simply added “Voice Guided Pedestrian Mode” than simply distracting people with intelligent orientation system. This would be safer and more productive than looking at the phone screen while you are walking.

    Think about it! Your observation is not distracted while you are walking and look smart at the same time. Not only it is safer but much more appropriate for people as they do carry ear-phone.

    Please Vaibhav post this message so that other blogger could appreciate my point of view and eventually Nokia. Nokia, stop killing people and start guiding people safely. I would not be amazed if someone sues Nokia for its navigation system.

    When Nitendo Wii came out, it was not safe. People accidentally damaged things or each other with Wii mote. I guess, it is just a learning curve.

    Vaibhav, I would appreciate if you can express my voice in your blog.

    Regards

    Nipul Pravin

    Hey.. May be you are looking at the extracted version of the .jar file. Winrar might have extracted it. Try downloading again.
