Upload your pictures to Flickr with geotagging using Flash Lite06.27.08

Alessandro did it again and created a great article together with sample code and application FliKun. With FliKun, you can upload any picture from your Nokia S60 phone to Flickr with GeoTagging, with Flash Lite and KuneriLite!

Today, we’ll see how it’s possible to build a Flickr uploader in FlashLite using KuneriLite, geotagging them with the current GPS location.

HolidayStarting from today, all Kuneri team is on holiday. We have had a great and busy first half, and now we all deserve a good vacation.

If you are having or will have any sort of holidays, I wish you a great one. If you are a Finn, happy Juhannus and try not to die.

How to browse your Nokia phone on a Macbook06.19.08

Due I am a newbie on Macbook and have never had to use my Nokia till today (see my How to connect Internet using a Nokia on Macbook post), I didn’t know how to browse my Nokia (N95) on Macbook (Leopard).

Can’t be simpler:

1. Download and install Nokia Multimedia Transfer

2. Run NTM

3. Connect your N95 using USB cable and select ‘PC Suite’ on the phone

4. Click on NMT icon on top bar and select ‘Tools and Settings -> Open Nokia Device Browser’

That’s all :)

How to connect Internet using a Nokia on Macbook06.19.08

I used to use my lovely Nokia N76 (or N95) to connect to Internet with my unlimited GPRS (3G) data plan, whenever I had to sit on my ass for many hours in a train. I said I “used to”, because I neither use PC nor a Nokia (sorry guys, Apple stole my heart). Today, I gotta sit in a train for 5 hours, therefore had to figure out a way to connect to Internet with my Macbook and iPhone. But the thing is: I don’t have a 3G iPhone (yet), therefore I had to figure out how I could connect to Internet with my Nokia N95 on my Macbook (Leopard), which would be faster.

So this is how;

1. Go to ‘System Preferences’ on your dock

2. Select ‘Network”

3. Plug in your Nokia to your Macbook via USB cable (faster)

4. Select ‘PC Suite’ on the phone

5. You should now see your Nokia connected on left pane. Click on it.

6. Check ‘Show modem status in menu bar’ option and click on Advanced

7. Choose ‘Nokia’ as vendor and enter your APN (you can find it on N95 under Tools->Settings->Connection->Access Points->(Carrier name)->Access Point Name) and hit OK.

8. Click ‘Apply’ (this is important, otherwise nothing will happen)

9. Click ‘Connect’

That’s all. If it doesn’t connect you might need to enter a phone number, user name or password depending on your operator. Please contact to your operator or see operators web site for details.

Hope helps.

Ugur.-

Glad to see our innovative product Easy Vote in the list :) And kudos to overall winner CityLite!

Grand Prizes

Flash: CityLite by MSCorp of Coral Springs, Florida. A mobile guide to night life, restaurants, and entertainment venues in Latin American cities.

WRT: Flickret from Mark Caunter of the U.K. A mashup that combines the Flickr photo-sharing application with MapQuest APIs to let users look for and get directions to places of interest.

Europe/Middle East/Africa

  • WRT: Flickret from Mark Caunter of the U.K.

Americas

  • Flash: CityLite by MSCorp.
  • WRT: Fon11 by Mo’Blast of Berkeley, California. A mobile social-networking utility that lets users share their whereabouts with friends and family and determine if their contacts are nearby.

Asia-Pacific

  • Flash: WIND from Fieldsystem. This screen saver displays an image of a propeller turning in the wind. If the mobile signal is strong, the propeller spins quickly; if the signal weakens, the propeller spins more slowly. Also, the screen saver’s background scenery changes throughout the day.

Also, when the user clicks a word, the software “speaks” the word in Chinese, a useful feature for asking directions and instructing taxi drivers.

Back from Barcelona06.02.08

Finally back from Barcelona Forum Nokia Flash Lite 3 Code Camp and S60 Summit. It was an amazing experience, thanks to all who made it possible.

On Tuesday, we had Flash Lite 3 code camp together with Riku Salminen, Mark Doherty. Riku and Mark talked about Flash Lite, and I told Kuneri story as a Forum Nokia success case. After presentations (and a nice lunch), we had the coding workshop. It was really fun, and there was a lot of motivation in the air. Following the workshop, we attended to a nice party at Villa Bugatti, with nice music, interesting meal and drinks.

On Wednesday and Thursday, we were all in S60 Summit, talking to many people at our booths. It was little tough (many hours standing), but met many great people and had chance to introduce KuneriLite, KISS60, SensiMaze and EasyVote to a curious crowd.

Finally; it was a great pleasure to receive Forum Nokia Regional award for our mobile voting system Easy Vote.

I will write more in these later on. Now back to work.

A Developer’s review of KuneriLite05.21.08

Alessandro had been working on a commercial Flash Lite 3.0 and KuneriLite project for last 2 months, and wrote his experience on his blog. We are pleased to hear :) Read the whole story here.

When you must merge 2 technologies to overcome their own limitations, it’s already a pain. So, when you do it, you want simple, immediate tools, that would make your work easier, not harder. With KuneriLite you have exacly this: an easy-to-use, understand and test tool. You have an intuitive Wizard that will allow you to create, setup and SIS package all your apps, and an emulator for easy testing and debugging. This IS what we want!

Briefly said: KuneriLite team is fantastic! Having worked with their product for more than 2 months, I can say to be more than happy for their help and support. You can find all the infos you want on their forums an Wiki pages.

Extending Flash Lite with J2ME05.20.08

Felipe is one of the most diligent and active guys in Flash Lite community with great open source projects; such as Flyer Framework and Jarpa. Check out his post telling how he created a simple application where he extended Flash Lite with J2ME.

I’m proud to share a short application snippet of the next Jarpa Framework. Jarpa Framework wants to provide developers with the combined power of Adobe’s Flash Lite and Java’s programming capabilities.

Although I am sure he is making wonders in order to overcome OEM limitations; but apparently there are some ways. We are excitingly following these projects; and as soon as have some J2ME competency, will definitely contribute.

Great work!
