Look at the software on the n900.

Looks very nice!

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

fake software/UI???

wtf

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

this vid proves we need portrait mode

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

No.

Here's Wired article from a guy who tested the software:

And a picture gallery:

EDIT: The article says it's running on MeeGo, which could be true or just writer's confusion about Nokia's confusing branding.

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

whaaaaaaaaaat? wheres it for us?

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

It's on Maemo. The writer is confused

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

It's still WIP

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

"can i keep the n900" lol :D

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

looks pretty sweet

maybe using linklocal xmpp?

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

Hmmm - looks like the type of thing that would enable lcuk to accomplish what he was talking about for liqbase - allowing the 'fluid' from one n900 to be pushed to the next adjacent tablet, and so on. (from summit chats between talk, IIRC).

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

just saw another video on this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6bHggX6TD0

and the guy says it does not use bluetooth, wireless, infra, or cellular

?????

Is it using FM????

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

Wow looks great, is that some kind of stalker software? :))

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

It might use Nokia's Explore and Share technology that has been previously demonstrated using a modified N900.

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

i hope this technology/app sees the light of day

Re: Nokia Instant Community presentation
 

my input towards this we will get meego os in the near future next two to three month i assume

I think it's something cool. The way to exchange msgs/files/to have group chats, with no phone or internet use.
First Video on youtube (btw it's used on N900 and N900 has portrait mode O_o )
another video of prototype

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

how the **** does they make it look like that? Looks way better than mine. The theme and the portrait mode wtf!!!

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

Dunno, this does look like a sac of ... stuff that will hardly ever come true :D

But I'm wondering, what is the technology connecting these devices together? Surely if it happens through the cellular network, mobile operators will want fees for the traffic going back and forth. If its connected to WiFi, then everyone would have to have their WiFi on etc... sounds a bit impossible!

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

really innovative and a great idea as an ice-breaker method

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

Maybe that was some kind of early alpha version of Maemo 6.

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

phones need wifi, but it only uses ad-hoc wifi connection.

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

wifi ad-hoc

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

Nothing magical about the tech. Just location aware internet connection AFAICT. It's a nice concept though.

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

Yeah! Phone pictochat!

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

It's all very clever but I think Nokia should really learn to communicate first.

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

You don't understand, thats why they are creating this tool.
Only then, they will be able to walk next to you and tell you : "PR1.2 was delayed because of a major bug found in battery consumption, OK?" (Twitter style)
Or did you actually expect them to post that info in a "forum" OMG you old fashion dude. :D

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

there will be some law in the uk stopping us from being able to use it has there always is. Never live in the uk its a country not worth living in

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

But what if you don't fancy the girl who loves your poem. What can the N900 do in such circumstances?

Could you have a LIKE / DISLIKE option the moment you spot them to send to their device informing them that the writer of the Poem (i.e. You) has just left the building and that the chap they are looking at is really a geeky guy (who hates poetry) and that you wouldn't be interested in anyway.

Also, could it then send them GPS co-ordinates to the local launderette and a message telling them to run quickly outside and they would find the Poet?

Perhaps a Brainstorm?

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

Ah, MANETs...

I always though this as stupid, but hey, as I always tell myself, that's the reason I'm not in marketing...

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

i hope it's not one of the things they show but never release. or release but not for N900, even it was developed on it

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

Each country has it's crap.
In Israel they confiscated IPad(s) from incoming citizens in the airport, cause it was not yet approved by our government (communication department).
They told the citizens they can either, "just" leave it in the airport without getting fined, or pay 10$ a day for holding, till they can find someone over seas to sell it to.

Can you believe someone coming home from overseas with a new toy? and it gets confiscated in the airport??????? (and I am not talking about smuggling, I am talking about people who officially declared they are importing and wanted to pay tax according to the law!!!!!)

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

now thats just a daft law but is it cause vodafone over here have to check the os systems before they can be released even though nokia is much hugher than them and have made sure works perfectly so we have all had to flash our phone wish i was rich and could live where there are no stupid laws like buy my own island lol

Re: Nokia Instant Community Research Prototype
 

this tech is serious but only if ppl around you use it!

Re: [NEWS]Nokia presents Nokia Instant Community
 

The phone UI looks consistently fake through the video, and plastered over, I would say it is post-production CG.

Edit: in the promotional video.
