Contest the Ovi of Stickers Live Results Giveaway Vlog:
No extra work is required. To make sure that I was not cheating on this contest, I decided to stream the video to Qik from the Nokia N95. I was connected on AT&T’s 3G internet, but the latest version allows you to take video anytime and it will upload it for you once a connection is established. This is also the direct link to the video. If you haven’t checked out Ovi yet, it is a one-stop source for storing and sharing your photos and videos. My buddy Ninong Brown shared his review of Qik and likes it. I’m a little afraid that news of Flickr opening up video sharing will be a threat to Ovi, but we’ll see. Qik worked great for streaming the video for the contest winner. It worked as expected. Here’s the embedded video below. It is also easy to upload your media right from your phone. Congratulations to Abul Hussain, also known as adonisdemon, who blogs at Symbian in Motion for winning the five Ovi stickers from last week’s giveaway. The average delay was about 15 seconds.

Sooner or later, you’ll get used to it. I myself had the beta version of CS3 and it was a tad bit much to my liking. As you can see, it comes with the disc, some rebate and registering forms and a useless little manual. I know it’s a bit off topic, but I recently purchased Adobe’s new Elements for my Mac. However, I think a review is appropriate. Well, if that was your opinion, you’d be wrong. Even though it just came out, there are some web guides out there. It costs around $99 to purchase, but I think it’s worth it. The I chose to use a filter called “Bas Relief” to make it look like the following: … or how about a different look? Final Thoughts My advice is to purchase the program and start experimenting with the different edit options. View more after the jump What’s in the Box? Adobe gives you the option of either purchasing the Disc and doing a “manual” download or via downloading the program itself from Adobe. Possessing a cameraphone like the Nokia N95 or the Nokia N82 that can take 5 megapixel pictures and not having a decent program to correct some of the “faults”, either by the user, phone, or situation, is unacceptable. In my case, it’s not a problem, I love exploring. Many people think that this is just a watered down version of CS3. Why shoot pictures without being able to make them even more beautiful? Please believe that when I say it’s worth every penny, IT IS. Elements 6 is a full featured program geared more towards users who wouldn’t be considered novices nor experts by any means. As usual, Adobe packs in a ton of features in it’s software but they never provide the customer with an appropriate manual. Unless you’re a professional photographer and who is dependent on great photos in order to eat, this is a solid program for you. Sample Edits Here is the welcome screen where you have the option to choose where you can import pictures from. Here is a simple photo I took of Mark the other day. Well, I decided to show a simple little edit that will turn Mark’s boring background into a more interesting white and black-distorted background. A quick little 2 minute edit using the Quick Selection Tool to isolate his background. I went with the box rout since It would’ve taken a tad bit longer over the interweb. Anyway, the box itself is minimal.

It never ceases to amaze me the type of people who use and love their Nseries devices. Get Knighted after the jump. lol, looks like THE KING has his own favorite device… the Nokia N70!

If you would like to know how to do this on your blog, read my guides on embedding geotagged photos and embedding sports tracker data to your blog.

Below is a map of the hike showing geotagged photos right on the map. For the next hike, I need to bring better shoes. I have the Nokia N95 NAM with me to record the hike, stream live videos, and take geotagged pictures. Take a look at the photos below and Flickr will show you the location in the photo’s exif data. My N95 NAM also have faster internet connection due to the North American 3G. May not be visible in RSS readers. Streaming Live With Qik I was also streaming live videos using Qik, but decided only to do it in safer trails because I did not want to get hurt if I lost my footing and needed to hold on to something. You can also change views or zoom in. On the upcoming Nseries phones, this will be done automatically without installing another program! Thoughts I was able to record my hike’s path, take GPS-tagged photos, and stream live videos to the internet. Streaming live videos during a hike with the Nokia N82 in the United States will be useless. The next hike for next Sunday is at Popolopen Gorge with the distance of 5 miles and 1,000 feet vertical rise. I’m currently taking a hiking class and will be hiking every Sunday until May. Subscribe to the Nokia blog feed to watch my progress. The first hike was in Castle Rock Unique Area in Philipstown, NY, which is about an hour and a half north of New York City. The introductory hike was 2 miles with a vertical height of 700 feet. It’s good to know that I was able to do all of this at the same time using a device that I carry around every day: my mobile phone. My boots were too heavy and it tired me out right after we started. Recording Hike With Sports Tracker The hike was recorded with GPS data using Nokia Sports Tracker. I don’t want to get too technical with this post so head over to S60 to learn more about it. You can view one of the videos below. Geotagging Photos With Location Tagger I was also running Location Tagger on my Nokia N95 while taking pictures.

Nokia Approval Why Nseries Passes - FCC Not 6220 Classic an Phone?
Is it because it can’t connect to wifi? It’s got pretty good specifications on paper. The Nokia 6220 Classic recently passed FCC approval, but this phone completely flew right by me. The Nokia 6220 classic also even improves over the Nokia N82 by having built-in geotagging. Will people buy it? The Nokia N96 doesn’t even have Xenon flash. This one definitely snuck through me. I did not know this phone had 5 megapixels, xenon flash, GPS, and the latest S60 version. I think that’s the only important missing component on the phone. Since the Nokia 6220 Classic just passed FCC aproval, it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing these in stores.

It’s got some improvements over the Nokia N96, N78, and N82 so I’m confused why it’s not part of the Nseries? The Nokia 6220 classic showed up on the FCC pages yesterday. Here are the documents for your viewing including the user manual. External photos FCC ID label Internal photos Test report Manual For taking pictures, I’ll assume that it will take just as good photos as the Nokia N82 which is part of the Nseries (hence the N letter) featuring the first Nokia with xenon flash. Did you know about this phone? If a GPS signal exists, all the photos taken by the Nokia 6220 will have its location embedded within the photo’s exif data. For videos, the Nokia 6220 is capable of shooting VGA (640×480) at 30 frames per second, just like the Nokia N95, N93, N82, and other Nseries phones that I’ve used on my videoblogs. The Nokia 6220 classic even sports a TV-out, something the Nokia N81 doesn’t have. So why is the Nokia 6220 Classic not part of the Nseries? It costs around 325 Euros before subsidies and taxes.
