Busy right now, but wanted to let you all know that ovi.com is what's kept me away for all this time. Oh, we're not done yet, won't be for a while, but we hope to start trickling out stuff by the end of the year.
Really exciting, if you want to know.
When I get back to Finland (I'm in London at a workshop) I'll try to tell more.
For now, go read read it here:
Link: Meet Ovi, the Door to Nokia's Internet Services:
Nokia today introduced Ovi, the company's new Internet services brand name. With the introduction of Ovi, Nokia is expanding from a focus on mobile devices to offering a range of Internet services. Ovi, meaning 'door' in Finnish, enables consumers to easily access their existing social network, communities and content, as well as acting as a gateway to Nokia services.
It does not work on my S60 3rd ed phone. It says that "you need to upgrade."
Isn't that a bit... embarrasing?

Can we schedule a meeting when you get back to Helsinki? Would love to talk to you more about Ovi and you seem to be the lead man from what a few friends at Multimedia told me.

Shop E61i; apparently there was a problem with redirections when I was trying.
I'm still disappointed at the use of Flash, though. That's so... 1999.
