Nokia E71 Smartphone doesn’t need a cable

I’m using Linux as my primary desktop. And in the contrast, currently Nokia doesn’t supply application(s) to support Linux. I have to find a way to get rid of USB cable…

The first application I need is SIC!FTP. With this application, all files (in batch) could be transferred between my phone and Linux machine(s) through wifi, even without SIM card.

Let’s see what else are installed in which you might get interested too. I walk you through one by one

screenshot0001

LotusTraveler: Light Lotus Notes client on Symbian platform. Needs a gateway to get authenticated to office Notes mail server.

ProblemReport: with LotusTraveler. Have never used that once. Hopefully will not.

MobClient: Lotus Mobility Client. A VPN client on symbian

Putty: This is great tool that gives a native SHELL to access and control any Unix/ Linux machine.

GoogleMap: v3.0 with Latitude = maps + location of your friend

SpotOn: keeps backlid and/ or camera light on.

Mobbler: This is a great Web2.0 online music radio that allows you tag your loved tracks (banable too) and bridges you into community with Common Interest.

fring: You know this one

5ud0ku: Sudoku. There are a lot of similar. This is the best. Try it while waiting @ airport.

Sametime: Lotus messenger

Gmail: Application on Symbiam, which contains mail thread function.

Opera Mini: the most popular browser on mobile. Looking forward to Firefox Fennec

WorldMate: free from Nokia to assist you during travel in diff timezone, weather and currency exchange. Heard it eat traffic a lot.

SIC!FTP: If you’re a Linux guru, you’d love this to turn your phone to a real computer.

Gizmo5 & Skype (beta) as they are.

Screenshot: is a tool that I used to capture screens.

Flickr Tagging – Heart of Web2.0

While I doing Web2.0 presentation in my company, I mention Tagging is heart of Web2.0. People used to ask me what tagging service could impact enterprise business and people’s life. I’d like to point this to Flickr, who introduced Tagging to Web2.0.

This simple URL shows the “tag cloud” in front of us. What do you see? What kind of information do you receive? Simple, eh? The bigger the font of tag is, the more popular such topic is. Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/ then click around. Seems “family” is the most active tag used. Does it tell you what the majority people think or care?

Oh, and “party” one… If we compare “canon” and “nikon”, “canon” looks a little bolder than “nikon”. That indicates the pictures loaded in Flickr.com were mostly captured by Canon camera. Let’s look at “london” and “paris”, “london” is bigger, and even “paris” is a little bit bigger than “newyork”.

Go to Flickr.com and see by yourself. I have my photo gallery too, but without tag.
