Wow 12 to 20 is a big leap! (more rant)

Nokia could do themselves a favour and continue to use the N95 base as a testing ground for the iPhone killer.
They don’t need to do anything to the hardware. The iPhone (and most of the market) is going to take a couple of years to catch up to the N95’s spec sheet, but the operating system needs a lot of work.
What the heck have the Symbion guys been doing all this time?
Why do we still have a confusing layering of menu/submenu?

I don’t necessarily need to change the aspect of the screen by rotating the handset (apart from shutting up the iPhone fan boys,) but moving through menus, or around the calendar by tilting the phone and not needing to unlock the keyboard would be good.
I’m pretty tired of the keypad unlocking itself when those two spongy buttons on the front of the slide are accidentally pressed (actually bugger that why can’t I use the camera shutter and gallery buttons to unlock the keyboard?) so unlocking the keypad with a gesture would be nice too.
Allowing people to create their own unlocking gesture would be an interesting security feature. Can’t repeat the right gesture, phone doesn’t unlock.
What about a spin on the desk to answer the phone (automatically jumps into speaker phone mode,) and spin in the opposite direction to close off the call?
The dpad is really crap so how bout using gestures to play games?
Move around web pages?

I don’t need a touch screen and I agree with Nokia’s argument in the past, that touch screens won’t replace keyboards. The mouse didn’t replace the keyboard but it’s pretty indispensable these days.
I reckon there is a lot Nokia could do with the functionality that is in the current range (hiring and interface designer that isn’t stuck in the eighties would be a good start.)

Wow 12 to 20 is a big leap!

The new clock is good. I’ve been hankering for multiple alarms since the days of my 6600.
Finally there are thumbnails in the Video Centre though they could be much larger. I was wondering why most of my video icons were so dark when I released that the thumbnails were being generated from the first frame. What tit decided that the first frame would make a good preview icon? Most produced films fade up from black. There is a reason why YouTube uses the middle frame.
Visual radio has been improved and I was able to download references to all the stations in my area (this couldn’t have been in the first update six months ago???.)
There is a nice grid overlay function in the cam now (was this there before???)

There is the story I read of the N800 that had had the latest N810 software installed and suddenly the processor is running quicker. There was also a hidden FM radio tuner.
Then we find out about the N95 accelerometer.
This all smells like deliberate ‘hobbling’ of the product so that a new and improved N95 (i) can be released and Nokia can sell a new device to the great unwashed geekdom.
There is a much older story of how TV remote controls all have the same innards, but the manufactures add buttons to the casing to access the extra built in functuality, as the price of the TV the remote is attached to rises.

A lot of companies seem to be ‘taking the customer for granted’ in this way.
Vista had all sorts of new functionality promised for it, and most of the useful stuff such as a new file system was cut out. All we saw from the final release was some extra graphics and a confusing splitting up of a single product into lots of colourful boxes.
Apple users have started de-installing Leopard and returning to the previous version of the operating system as expectations haven’t been met.
Adobe recently made a comment that if they had realised the extent that Apple was going to de-feature the new version of their ‘low end’ video editing system, they would have released a Mac version of the updated Premier Elements.

So what is the moral of the story?
Don’t buy another Nokia device until it has had at least a couple of firmware revisions (probably about twelve months after the device is released onto the market.)

So here are my predictions for the New Year.
Someone will realise that Nokia isn’t putting a lot of effort into taking advantage of the hardware of the N95 and will find even more speed and extra battery longevity.
Some and maybe a lot of the dpad functionality will be replaced with accelerometer function calls.

Next thing I want from Nokia.

Let's get that useless little cam on the front doing something.
Is anyone actually using it for video calls?
(Probably Snoyt knowing my luck.)

How bout using that pixel tracking tech to allow us to scroll around the screen by tilting the phone? Move the phone and the direction and speed of the pixels can be read by the cam. Currently I’ve only seen this tech ‘wasted’ on games.

The little cam probably has enough rez to read the texture on the pad of ones thumb so our thumb moving in front of the cam could be used as a trackball input.
Possibly throw in a bit of gesture recognition so that ‘circling the thumb,’ or ‘rapid back and forth’ movements could be assigned functions?

I'm now wondering about using both cameras. The Main cam on the back, for left right up down, and the forward facing cam used as a thumb trackball?

How bout using facial recognition so that when the user is looking at the screen, a nod is read as the green key, and a shake is the red key?

• A wink could trigger the SMS function?
• The user opens their mouth to send the SMS.
• Tilt the head to move through your mail.
• Passing you hand over your face shuts the app down.

What about using the voice command system?
Problems with noisy environments?
The phone could recognise the thumb over the forward facing cam, as the trigger for incoming voice commands so that the phone only listens when the user wants it to.

The interesting thing with facial recognition, is that we could get a cheap iPhone type experience by triggering the screen to change aspect as the phone is rotated from portrait to landscape.
When you rotate the phone, the front cam would see that the angle of your face (I'm assuming you’re looking at the screen when you rotate the phone) would change relative to the cam, and this would trigger the phone to change the aspect of the screen.

An opinion piece on the New N95 8gig

This is a link to an article about the improvements made to the N96

Higher capacity battery.
What a surprise. Gee I didn't see that one coming! ;-)

Better build quality
Gee, that one was a surprise too.
I'm taking the piss. Click here to see an earlier article I wrote.
It's a shame that Nokia did away with the plum colour of the case. I quite liked that.

The increase in memory is an interesting point.
This article seems to think that it's a good idea to expand the internal memory at the expense of the SD card slot. Why the hell did Nokia remove the card slot?
Was it the room the carriage took inside the phone?
Was the card slot using memory address space that Nokia needed to release for the extra memory?
Is it an operating system failing?

The thing I like about the SD card is that it's removable. Not it's capacity.
I have two cards that hang from a key ring, and I swap them around my various devices.
I don't keep pictures or video, or word docs in the device cause the data is the important thing. Not the device.
Strangely enough, the device is much more likely to be stolen, or lost, or left somewhere.
I'd much rather have two four gig removable SD cards, then one big slab of memory in the device.

Bigger screen
Nice! But I'm sure as heck not plonking down another grand in cash for a phone that still has a way to go before it's where it should have been at the first release.

And for the stuff that still concerns me…
I wonder if the redesigned dpad has a better ‘feel?’

Does anyone know if the new version can be charged from a USB connection? Not the tiny little easily damaged micro plug!

Pondering GPS

OK, I know very little about GPS (other then the excellent entries I’ve read in this group.)

I read somewhere that a survey found that GPS is more anticipated by potential users of mobile phones then mobile TV.
This doesn’t surprise me as finding ones way around the countryside strikes me as a damn useful thing to have in a phone.

I’m noting down a few thoughts, after using the GPS in the N95 a few times in the last couple of weeks…

• GPS seems to work better if I’m driving. The positioning seems to be more accurate if I’m standing in the middle of the road. Maybe trees confuse the satellite signals? That said, I had some real problems getting a fix on the satellites recently, until I slid the phone up onto the dash. Once I had a fix, my passenger wouldn’t let go of the phone as she found it fascinating to watch our progress on the screen as we drove through the countryside.
• It would be nice if the camera app in the N95 auto logged onto the GPS and geotagged photos and videos. In fact, it would be interesting if everything were geotagged such as SMS and email.
• Maps should allow an option to override the screensaver without running the backlight continuously.
• It would be nice to see the two GPS apps (the info app and Maps) combined.
• This device should be the ideal hiking phone, but the lack of protection for the screen, the strength of the plastic case, and the battery life reduce its effectiveness. What if the phone could plot a path following my movements through the bush? This data could be picked up by the Lifeblog app and mashed up with geotagged photos (including recorded sounds and video,) and finally the whole lot uploaded to Google Maps.
• There is a GPS device on sale over here that allows the user to take a photo of a place, and this becomes part of the info for tagging a location. The user can browse for the photo of where they want to go, select, and the path finder does the rest. The N95 is the idea platform for this sort of functionality.

I thought it was interesting to read in the manual that the N95 has three different ariels.
Is this why the phone is clothed in plastic fantastic?
Is it not possible to ‘time slice’ access by the phone/Wifi/GPS to a single areal?

I was bush walking on the weekend and a couple of people whipped out their GPS units.
We got to talking about something called ‘assisted GPS’ where the Cell towers are used to glean extra position data.
Since there are three ariels in the N95, Any ideas on whether the N95 can use this technique?

The USB connection.

I have to admit that one of the things that ‘made up my mind’ to buy this phone was the USB Flash Drive functionality.

One of the coolest things about the USB Drive is that I can carry the Nokia PC software suite around with me, and install it on the spot.
I’m thinking it would be great if people could run Quick Office on the phone, or straight off the USB on a PC keeping all data on the phone, much like the Sandisk U3 software suite.

Data transfers are allot quicker over the USB drive option, when moving data on and off the phone.
Don't use the PC Suite file manager, it's as 'slow as a wet week.'

I was also pretty impressed when the mp3 files that I had transferred via the USB drive option were automatically polled by the music player.
All the video I took last week was quickly sucked of the phone, and edited footage sent back for transport home.

With this sort of functionality, one might never need to remove the SD card.

I’ve noticed a lot of comparisons with other devices floating around,

...and the N95 does quite well.

I’m less interested in how well the N95 compares with its peers.

I’m more interested in how well it performs the tasks that I need it to do!

I need a phone to run for at least a couple of days no matter what the functions are.

If I’m on a long plane trip, I want all the entertainment facilities to last the distance.

I need the phone to last as long as the Bluetooth keyboard does so that I can get some work done.

If I’m trying to find a location, I need the GPS to function properly
and not drop out from lack of juice before I reach that destination.

I need to be able to record video at a two day business ‘off site’
without the N95 gasping pathetically for current, halfway through the
team bonding session on the second day. Yep, this happened to me last
week

I don’t care how well the N95 compares to Windows Mobile devices.

I need a device that is useful.

If the battery stops the N95 from being useful, all the features crammed into its plastic shell are pointless.

Are any of these bloggers actually using the N95 as their
only phone, no landline, day to day?

This really is a real computer!

The first thing I did after I had charged up the battery was to UPDATE THE SOFTWARE.
Either Nokia software development is barrelling along at top speed, or they hadn’t finished the system when they shipped the phone.

Updated the firmware, which was a completely painless process as it was a brand new phone, so I didn’t have any problems with losing software or data. Others I hear have not been so lucky.

I downloaded The Map loader utility and found during installation that it needs Microsoft’s .Net so that had to be downloaded too.

Video encoding app from the Nokia site looks like a great little utility.
Then I found that to run the utility, I needed to download an updated PC Suite to use the video encoder.
Interestingly, it looks like the encoder does a better job of crushing video if the N95 is plugged into the PC.
Is Nokia using the phone as a dongle?

There are some issues with the video stuttering and the Real player doesn’t resize to ‘full screen’ very well.
I’ve been using ‘Super C’ encoding software which gives me much more control over quality.
I’ve also found the TV ‘out’ quality to be a bit average. I encoded a video at 640x480 and downloaded that to the N95. It plays, but Real player has problems keeping the audio synced to the video, and soon the frame rate of the video had slowed to the point where it was pointless watching.

Specking of PC Suite, this application is maturing nicely. I like that it’s become a dock for other applications.
Only prob I had has been in connecting with my old faithful 6600.
I was having heaps of problems transferring all my contact details from the 6600 until I discovered a ‘transfer’ application on the N95.
This app linked up with the 6600, and downloaded a program (I’m assuming it’s a Java app?) to the 6600 which ran, and automagically transferred everything to the N95.
Not only contact info, but photos too were all copied across.
I’m really impressed!

The Video Centre on the phone is a quick way of accessing content, but it doesn’t scan the memory like the Mp3 player does.
The icons that spin to select videos are really cheap looking. Would have been nice to see thumbnails extracted from the videos spinning about the selection menu.
I’m wondering when Nokia is going to integrate all audio/Visual playback into a single app?

Iradio needs a SIM inserted. Weird! as the phone can operate in ‘off line’ mode with the SIM removed.
The fact that the N95 can operate with out a SIM is interesting. The 6600 wouldn’t even finish booting with out a SIM in place.

It’s all good, but is it worth a thousand Oz bucks???

I’ve had this 'box of tricks' for a week now.

This phone demands a real 'love hate' relationship.

Unpacking the thing was like Christmas.
Top marks to Nokia for including a gig of SD memory card (I recently bought a Canon TX1 and all they saw fit to include was 32meg of MMC memory.)
There was also a video cable, a USB cable, and a cheap pair of earphones.
All these bits and pieces made me feel like ‘batteries HAD been include’ and that I could access most of the features of the phone immediately.
I received the plum version which is a great colour.
The protective case for the phone (also in plum) that I found in the box is cheap looking but at least they made the effort and I have no complaints.
I would like to meet the ‘dumb ass’ in marketing that decided that it would be a good idea to have an opaque 'peel off' sticker applied to the screen labelled with N95. I already know what it is that I bought, what I need is the clear protective sticker applied to the screen in the factory.

I’m a bit surprised how ‘plasticy’ the phone looks, especially after paying more then a grand for the unit.
It was quite disappointing holding it for the first time after all the hype.
I was surprised that the sliding screen assembly was plastic and not enclosed in a brush metal shell.

Speaking of cheap looking, I’m going to say something a little controversial here.

The N95 looks like a plastic toy!

Nokia used to be famous for building handsets that looked ‘hand built’ by a team of Scandinavian craftsmen. The N95 looks like Fisher Price was sub contracted to snap the pieces of plastic together.
I've held remote controls constructed of better quality plastics
As for the controls, the silver will wear off the buttons within a year, the 'app' and 'menu' buttons move around in their rest positions, and bizarrely the screen assembly is rock solid when slid into its up or down positions, but moves around when slipped into its home position.

That said, all the reviews I’ve read, and dudes in my office, really like the build quality of the phone!
One guy compared it to the O2 handsets.
I’m seriously out numbered with this opinion.

The ‘direction pad’ is also pretty bad, it’s too easy to accidentally hit the ‘multimedia’ key when aiming for the ‘clear’ key, or when trying to move the cursor 'to the right' in Notepad. What was wrong with the little joystick that was on the 6600? One of those joysticks surrounded by a cup of guard plastic would have been a lot less prone to slippage.

The hatch on the SD memory is a strip of plastic that is bent back to allow access to the card, so despite the card being ‘hot swappable’ I’m wondering how long the protective cap is going to last?

• A the panel fit. Toyota should be commissioned to get these panels fitting more closely.
  
• 
  B silver coated buttons. I had toy cars when I was a kid that used much the same process.
  
• 
  C spongy key action, and why is the Dpad so big, and soft, and butted right up to the keys on ether side?
  

I recently joined a bush walking group and this phone should be the
ideal device to take out into the wilderness. Unfortunately I don't
trust the construction to survive little bumps and jolts (I took the
6600,) and (as has been pointed out by lots of people,) the battery
life restricts the N95 owner to the daily ritual with the recharger
cable.

Have N95?

Assault and battery

So apart from Cybette, who keeps her N95 permanently tethered to a power cord. Could I get some feedback on just how bad the battery problem is?

OK, here is another ‘mission’

...for the folks lucky enough to have an N95 within their hot little hands.
I’ve been reading about MotionJpeg Vs Mpeg4.

What sort of difficulties is one facing when one wants to edit footage acquired with the N95?

Has anyone tried to suck the N95 video into Premier or another non liner editor?

I’m currently doing all my captures with a Pentax W10 which is Mjpeg and I have no probs editing the stream.

Could someone do an experiment and see if they can re-encode the N95 footage as an Uncompressed Avi?

Why am I looking forward to getting my hands on an N95?

Does anyone here remember the Apple Newton?

I had one. It was the last incarnation of the device before Jobs decided to ‘can it.’
I had grown quite attached to this device.
(its demise is one of the reasons why I will probably never own another Apple.)

The thing I liked about the Newtown was that it was truly portable and fluid, communication and computing.
Nothing like the bulk of a laptop, and much more intuitive and useful then a PDA running Windows Mobile.

I think the Newton is what Microsoft is aiming for with the Origami project, but being Microsoft, they can't help designing things in their marketing department.

I’m hoping the N95 is able to replace my Newton.
I want ‘casual computing,’ this is a term borrowed from the ‘casual gaming’ ethos.
I want to be able to whip out a hand held device and do mail, or games, or web browse during the ‘in-between’ moments.

I know, I know, this is what everyone is trying to build.
Well how come it's so difficult to get the mix right?
Why is it, that there are so many little videos showing us what is coming in the future, but no one is able to drop the mother load right now?
I reckon its cause Marketing departments don't want to release the unit to the market in perfection.
They just love to drip feed functionality to the consumer, until finally after shelling out our bucks for all the past iterations, we get a device that works brilliantly.

I reckon the N95 could come the closest (after years of faffing around by Nokia) to replacing my Newton.
That said, though the Newton was brilliant, a lot of people reckon it never made any money for Apple.

Contabution to N95 nicknames...

The SlipSlider!

Personal Cell networks.

I’ve been thinking about the entry I made earlier in the week…

http://nokian95.groups.vox.com

Why wouldn’t it be possible to set up a ‘localised cell network’ using the phones themselves as base stations, repeaters, etc?

For example:
At work we all tote phones around.
All have Bluetooth, and within the next couple of years, all will have Wifi.
We could potentially activate a piece of software…
Which activates a local Wifi based network linking the phones…
We all log onto this network...
And this allows us to talk to each other.
An SMS has to bounce through the Cell net, even if I’m sitting three meters away from the person I want to message.

Why couldn't my phone, recognise their phone if it is within range, and bypass the Cell net completely?

The same system could work for kids at schools, building lots of mini networks during lunch breaks.
Imagine games of schoolyard tag, where all the participants have software (hooked into GPS and the other phones) that mimics the ‘Alien 2’ style scanners which beep with greater intensity as the person who is ‘it’ gets closer.
A thousand kids, all linked by Net and tracked by GPS could map out the boundaries of the school grounds and classes in half an hour. Software could construct a real life Doom style game. The horror creatures only appearing on the screens of the children’s phones, mapped with the phones cameras over real life locations. This location data would be passed onto younger brothers and sisters when they start school. The more kids travel these locations, the denser the data becomes.
Kid’s could ‘tag’ locations with schoolyard lore.

Emergency workers could establish a mini network at a crash site, just by turning on their phones. Hell, the crash survivors might have already established a local net, just to find each other.

Imagine the bandwidth potential of a Soccer match. Each phone could link up, with a low range radio standard such as Wibree, register its position in the stadium with GPS, and graphic data could be pumped through the network, producing an enormous TV screen.
Instead of waving candles at rock concerts, everyone waves their phones and the huge composite picture would shimmer and flow.

I wonder if it’s possible to logon on all the phone cameras? Record a thousand different angles, a thousand different personal experiences of the one event.

One super antenna isn’t needed to suck up each phone individually.
Just small ones around the edge of the arena, sipping data from the huge net linked people filled cup of shared experience.

What would be the difficulties in getting the phones to recognise each other, with one of these radio standards?

Nokia is already fooling around with P2P networks running on phones.
The network would log phones on and off as units come into, and fall out of range.
The more dense the population of phone units become, the greater the data transmission.
Laptops could be used to boost range.
Along with the list of personal contact details my phone would carry, there would be a list of ‘localised cell nets’ that my phone had permission to log onto.

for example:
At school the phone would log onto my friends in the class room.
Travelling home the phone would log onto the Cell network.
Once home the phone would log onto my families phone network, and all re-establish the ‘friends from school’ network if one of my mates came over to study.

We’ve been playing around with Bluetooth at work, and these concepts seem to be possible.
Our PC Bluetooth adaptors came packaged with the facility to build a wireless net between units.
All that is needed is for the phones to recognise this localised Network and each other.

 

 

Mobile devices become the ultimate social network?

Interesting this Nokia/YouTube hook up.

Nokia press release…
http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1104222

Nokia have had a love/hate relationship with the ‘carriers’ for a while now…
http://nokian95.groups.vox.com/library/post/6a00ccff84be77985d00cd970d0e234cd5.html

This deal parallels the ones YouTube have made with carriers such as Verizon Wireless.
http://www.youtube.com/press_room_entry?entry=MfvRjkWLxgk

The main difference seems to be that Nokia won’t be pruning the selection of videos that are downloaded.

Nokia and other mobile phone companies are neatly bypassing the ‘carriers’ by providing a wide variety of potential wireless access nodes (2G, 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth) onto the Internet.
The ‘carriers’ should love Nokia for making it so easy for the user to chew though bandwidth.
Unfortunately, the ‘carriers’ don’t see themselves as a utility such as water or electricity.
They see themselves as media companies.

Users want control over the media they consume.
Users are not interested in the ‘carriers’ censoring media.
Users want tools (mobile ones in this case) to find and access the media and human contacts they desire.
What Users don’t want is an ‘old school media channel’ dolling out teaspoons of sanitised bits and bytes, and controlling who the User can communicate with.

Life could be so easy for the ‘carriers.’ Give the Users a cheap, wide, fast flowing river of bits, and then sit back and let the cash roll in.

One day, we may find mobile phones talking to each other in a huge fluid mobile web (each phone would be its own ‘base station’ and function much as a P2P network would) dipping into household WiMax stations when access is available.
This would completely bypass the ‘carriers’ and would make the function of mobile phones much like the Net itself.
