Applications and services on my mobile

Currently on my N85:

Thankfully I have a flat rate data plan, and WLAN hotspots at work and at home.

Nokia Online Share 3.0

I have been too busy to tell you guys about this application, now available in Beta labs.  Basically, the support for posting to Vox and Flickr just got much better, with better tagging and the possibility to follow the photostreams of others straight from your mobile device.  Darla Mack has a good review of the app.

Please give us your feedback (here or, faster, at Tommi's blog).

Sports tracker

I went skating yesterday. Not any kind of skating, but one special modality called nordic blading, which is done with poles as if you were skiing. I am now the proud owner of an N95 and was using the Sports Tracker application, which is able to calculate the kind of route I took, how many kilometres I did and my speed and altitude. You can even export your workouts to Google Earth! Quite a nice thing, I should say.

 

P.S. For those interested, I skated 15.4 km at an average speed of 10 km/h and a maximum speed of 49 km/h.

Fring

For the past few days I have been using Fring, a mobile VoIP application for mobile devices.  I truly like that it has support not only for its own network, but also for calls and chat using Skype, MSN, Google Talk and SIP.

The application, however, is still in advanced beta stage, so some parts of usability and especially stability are still issues.  If you have a S60 device with WLAN (such as a N93) or unlimited 3G, I'd say it's almost a no-brainer, especially since Skype hasn't released its version for S60 yet to the general public (other than owners of the X-series).

Now I wonder, who will have the idea of joining this with a Fonera?  That would be something.
