Innovative new Apps from the Forum Nokia Developer Community

Application Reviews - August 14th, 2008 - Written by Martin Barclay

Forum Nokia recently recognized the first set of applications to be selected for it’s Innovation Series. Some of you may already be familiar with one or more of these apps but here is a summary and video demos showing each one:

What’s interesting about this set of applications is the diversity of both the apps and the development environments used to build them, and the fact that all deliver what we believe to be a unique and compelling user experience to S60 device users - these are not time-wasters or novelty apps, they are much more substantive:

Qik (native S60)- live video streaming to the web from video-camera enabled devices such as N95
Hava (native S60) - TV place-shifting - watch your live TV content or recorded DVR conent on your S60 device anywhere with a 3G or WiFi connection
JoikuSpot (native S60) - turns your S60 device into a mobile WiFi hotspot
WebMessenger (native S60) - secure, enterprise grade mobile IM integrated w/Microsoft OCS
Plusmo (WRT) - mobile widget platform
Whrrl (Java) - Location based social discovery
UbiSafe (Java) - Location/GPS tracking
Backup Pal (hardware appliance) - backup, copy, and restore contacts without software or a PC.

I’ll be updating this list on a regular basis with more new cool S60 apps from Forum Nokia developers.

    Zach, the videos are embedded into the blog when you view it with a browser. Some readers don’t show the inline videos however (I use Google Reader and they don’t show up there), so I have reposted the blog entry that includes a link to the videos http://share.ovi.com/channel/Forum_Nokia.Innovation
