Here is a collection of some of the love letters more positive feedback we have received during the Mobile Web Server beta times.

First up some comments from the readers of this blog.

Wao! This is great! I really appreciate it!
Thank You Gentleman! This is a dream come true for me!
(Aron)

I love the concept of Mobile Web Server, and see great potential here.

hi Jukka
mws is one ofthe reasons why i love s60 so much, it actually ( in my opinion ) the most innovative app i have ever used , just imagine aweb server that allows you to build your on site in your handset, remote control your phone from every where, maybe even in the future assist users with configuration/customization problem by remote as they are just another node in the internet. way to go

Then some mentions on friendly blogs etc.

I’ve been trying to use the Mobile Web Server more lately, and was even surprised recently when my wife said she was able to view my photos from Boston before I had uploaded them, saying she found them on ‘that mobile site thingy.’ Pretty sweet that she was able to navigate to it without and help, and a big testament to why it’s cool.

Nokia Series 60 comes up with applications that simply amaze your imagination. It goes alike for applications that are released and those that are coming into existence quite soon. I have been using Mobile Web Server for sometime, and can tell its a truly innovative application. A simple download, and an account does the trick.

Nokia Mobile Web Server - a game changer…

Comparing Nokia Backup and MobileMe:
Some of the gaps in the Backup service are filled by Nokia’s Mobile Web Server (device access, calendar and photo sharing) and Ovi (sharing photos and more).

advantages - personal, interactive, context dependent. Web servers just need a little love.

And finally some feedback received through our feedback form:

I LOVE the Mobile Web server, i have begun to use it for moblogging (EXTREMELY awesome, it is the first non-problematic moblogging application), gallery and more. The purpose of my MWS is to inform my friends of what I do, great when i have friends on different continents.

You guys are quick, keep up the GREAT work. It’s a totally new thing.
I like to call it web 3.0: 100% access to your computer, phone and internet tablets (etc) From ANYWHERE thanks to the web. And MWS is the most important/best done ‘web app.’ for this.

BTW: Did I tell you that I love the Mobile Web Server !?!

Hiya,
I LOVE this software, though I’m not sure exactly how much I’ll use it, I think it’s fantastic and will soon take off in a big way!

I love the ability to edit things on the phone with any computer. Great work though. Keep it up, and keep it free and it will go FAR.

So I love the application. Just getting my feet wet with it. I’ve been wanting to blog (not just twitter) from my e61, and this seems to be just the thing.

Now, it’s your turn to spread the love, via Mobile Web Server or other ways :)

PS. Here are a couple of recent examples to get you started: AntoineRJWright.com, MWS GearsGeolocation extension.

With love,
-Jukka

    Hello,

    Yes, the S60 mobile web server is just great! About spreading the Love it could help a lot if we would have the “island mode” with a “local virtual accesspoint” or with ad-hoc wlan. Than the web server could become the state of the art for transfering data between phones quickly and conveniently.

    Thanks for the hard work again!

    Aron, thanks! About the “island mode” I though we already solved that. You can set up the WLAN to ad-hoc mode and then start MWS in local mode. Could you remind me again if this was not what you had in mind?

    Considering my use of JokiuSpot, that ad-hoc mode makes me think of a few nice things to do for MWS.

    I’ve got to figure out that portal page that I designed a bit ago for that too.

    I will agree with the others, the MWS is pretty neat in concept and use. I look forward to more development with it, and exploring more options towards making the web more mobile.
