Nokia launches My Mobile Site Widgets

mmswNokia’s Mobile Web Server is an app that until now had fairly niche appeal - a mini web server that lets you access the contents and services of your phone via a wifi connection.

This may sound a bit like Nokia PC Phone, but where that app ties your phone to a Windows PC, running the server app on your phone makes it accessible from any browser.

Nokia Beta Labs have decided to make the web server even easier to use with My Mobile Site Widgets.  Despite its dull name, MMSW is a great looking collection of desktop mini-apps that run as part of the Yahoo! Widgets Engine.

There are widgets to show your phone’s battery level and signal strength; an SMS widget that can read and send messages to your contact list; a drag’n'drop call widget that can accept numbers from anywhere on the desktop and a photo gallery that plucks images directly from your phone’s memory card.

The widgets require a system that can run the Yahoo! Widget Engine (Windows XP, Vista or ac OSX)  while the mobile web server has been tested on the Nokia N80, N93 and  N95



Nokia Beta Labs has a busy week

screenshot_022.jpgNokia’s revolving doors Beta Labs has been very busy this past week with updates for Nokia PC Phone, Nseries PC Suite and Mobile Web Server all going live.

Not only that but the Internet Tablet Video Converter has been updated gaining Vista support, an E61 version of Sports Tracker has been launched and the once withdrawn Conversation is back and presumably tweaked to the max.

As usual all of the apps are free to try so seeing as it’s Friday and you are probably clock watching already now might be a good time to go try some of them out.

Control your Nokia handset from your PC with Nokia PC Phone

pcphone_136.jpgHaving a PC based VoIP client is all well and good but what if the people you want to contact aren’t available or don’t have an account with the same service that you use? Nokia Beta Labs seems to have an answer to that and is calling it, Nokia PC Phone (we know what your thinking, imaginative right?).

Essentially the application is an extension for your PC based internet browser allowing you to see recieved texts as pop-ups and even answer incoming calls. It also sounds quite handy for typing out SMS messages from a desktop keyboard and has a feature that allows you to save phone numbers that you come accross on web pages (for example a phone number in an email signature) directly to your handset.

It all sounds like clever stuff and as always is freely available in its beta form. The application is currently compatible with Firefox (with Internet Explorer support soon to follow) and is available now.
