Mobile Industry Review: MIR Show - Week 44 - All About Symbian, Smaato and Scalado

  • Ms. Jen · 1 year ago
    If Scalado and Nokia/Symbian are quite on speaking terms yet, why not offer it as a download on their website. I would download it and then blog about it. If it is good, I would pay for it.

    Why not go for a grassroots model? Why is the mobile industry so focused on everything has to go through the carrier or manufacturer? How about just releasing it to the people?

    I believe it is because, at least in part, the Scalado solution needs to be incorporated into the camera firmware... although their picture viewer app ran happily on a stock N95.

    Hi Ben,

    In the meantime while they convince the Nokia/Symbian folk, why not make all the functionality into a downloadable mobile app. In the end, Nokia and many others have proven that when an app gets popular they either add it in as a feature or buy it out and then add it as a feature.

    Stone me!! I want. I want now...

    That panorama feature is seriously good. I currently pfaff around with autostitch on the PC to get panoramics. They can take *ages* to render and never look quite right for me.

    And the gallery is just awesome.

    Heads should be knocked together at Symbian/Nokia. Can you email this video to any high up contacts you guys may have there?

    It is becoming part of Symbian... we need to do some homework on the detail and then we'll write it up.

    Excellent, thanks Ben - I'll await that write-up with bated breath! :-)

    See the smooth zoom, and panning.! I want it now.!

    Those panoramic shots were impressive, similar to Panoman, but PM is no where near as quick.

    Another fine report/video guys, keep up the good work.!

    did a quick plug for MIR over at my home forum, where members are looking for apps like smaato and parlingo, which would be ideal for them.
    thanks guys!
