Updates and a thing we call Ovi
Monday, 13. October 2008, 18:16:40
First things first. I should really put an update to some previous stuff I posted.
When it comes to the car I was going to purchase I changed my mind at the last minute. The car was set to arrive the next day and I even got to sit in someone else' of the same model to see how it was. At the last minute I realized how much I loved the 2009 Toyota Matrix S (S stands for sport). It has a modified body kit, fog lights, sequential shifting and an upgraded 2.4 Liter 4 Cylinder engine (over the stock 1.8L 4 Cyl.). Needless to say, for it's size and weight this thing is fast. Here is what my car looks like:
Ok so onward to this thing we call Ovi. Not quite the newest of of services but new enough and so incredibly useful that it needs mentioning. As most of the people that have read my Blog before know, I am an avid Nokia owner/user. I currently own a Nokia N73 and N95. Not too long ago Nokia introduced a new service/website called Ovi in which it will sync data from your phone with the web service so that no matter what happens to your phone or, if you have multiple phones, which phone you are using. The service reminds me a lot of Apple's Mobile Me although the big difference here is that Ovi is Free, unless you need to have data storage but for me that's not an issue. So essentially you sign up on the website, make sure you have the Sharing 3.0 application on your phone and follow the instructions while setting your user profile online and they will text you the service settings and away you go. It is incredibly nice to be able to have the same calendar no matter where I am and be able to update and see it either on my phone or my computer. The Ovi service also allows you to upload pictures and videos to your galleries and make them private or public for all to see. The service is currently in Beta so I am sure a lot more will be added as there are tabs on the site that tie into Nokia's Music service as well as N-Gage, (the Nokia platform for gaming and purchasing games). If you currently have any N-Series device I highly recommend checking this service out.
