Hi All,

Recently during Nokia Developer Conference at Bangalore, India I demoed my Mobile Eco Sensor. The system is basically open source (hardware+software) system. Eco sensor is one of the most demanding application in today's world. The application was also showcased at Mobile World Congress 2009 at Barcelona, Spain by Symbian Foundation. It has numbers of features integrated in like Metal Detection, Alcohol/LPG/Various Gas detection and humidity and temperature of surroundings. The Mobile phone can also be used as Breath Analyzer. It is a next generation Mobile Sensor accessories. The beauty of the system is it is 100% open source in terms of hardware and software as well.

The Eco sensor has features like : REal time temperature measurement, humidity, distance sensor, motion sensor, UV detection, metal detection, Enviornmental Gas analysis and much more.The links to see the video is here. Fore more details please visit at http://mobapps.org/Applications/Eco-Sensor

Gujarat(India) on a roll in Mobile Application Development...

It is just another example that the students in Gujarat are very keen and interested in Mobile Field.
This time it was the celebration day of Computer Society of India at the venue Baroda(India).The registrations for the workshop were full before week and the hall was fully packed on the event day with about 200 students.

The one-day workshop was entirely conducted by Chintan Umraliya and Gargi Das giving the students a hands-on experience on PyS60 platform. The first session by Gargi Das introduced various development platforms and the fundamentals of mobile technology. The session gave a brief introducton of various supports and platforms provided by Forum Nokia to the developers.
In second and final session conducted by Chintan Umraliya gave live demostration of application development using PyS60. The session highlighted various developer tools, services and resources provided by Forum Nokia. 

The event was attended by many IT experts from the industry.I would like to thank FORUM NOKIA for their support in the workshop...

Hi All,

I would like to show that how mobile phone VAS is becoming integral part of our life. This post is not about "Playboy" magazine or HUGH HAFNER...!!

It's all about HIV/AIDS campaign in India. The NACO - National AIDS control organization of India with BBC support started an AIDS awareness campaign and surprisingly they came up with an idea of Ringtone. The ringtone was hit and it was downloaded 1.5 lac times in just 10 days..

Hi, It was a great experience to be a part of WRT code camp at Mumbai by FN India team and Symbian. There were great sessions by Prakash, BDM who showed a very interesting picture of WRT and its market trends with business models. Balagopal was impressive on giving a good head start to all the participants, he made learning so easy and quick that everybody was able to make and edit widsets at the end of the day. The symbian support was also great, Sunila Rao, Head Eco system and BTRT Naidu, Training Manager presented symbian stand for mobile application development support. They talked on symbian training and resources provided by Symbian to the mobile application developer support community.

Overall it was a great day and participants were from every field students, developres, CEOs, managers. I hope that Indian developres will soon be attracted towards Widset development. The arrangment was also nice, everybody was provided tools and laptops so hands on session in code camp was really a nice experience.

Cheers to Balagopal, Prakash, Sunil and Naidu...

I would like to ask Great FN users what is the meaning of the symboles on the keypad of the mobile phone shown below. I have tried but not able to find out what does it mean. I would like to specially for key numbers 1,2,3,4,5 voice mail symbole is common.

I visited the details of Android, At first impression it seems a change for mobile users but nothing new by them. simply a phone with few google products at the initial stage. People will not waste their time to learn again something based on java. Android will take few years to build a community like FN.

The best part of Android is opensource. Nokia can also open upto some extent, as its finally a business winning race. The negative part of android is it looks like a computer kindda interface, they are not able to bit Nokia-symbian a truly mobile OS. Coding also seems a bit tedious task in android, while nokia's python for series 60 is open source and Rapid application development.

I would like to say no need to worry Nokia developers just be careful of new comer, The market share, operator support, developers worldwide and great community of Forum nokia are the big PLUS for Nokia. I think android will take decade to reach here, and in this decade Nokia symbian will always be ahead of it. I would end up with an example -- The new android can be a threat for second and third position between iphone and gphone.

The bandwidth in India Nokia is in favor of it, neither apple nor google have the talent to create a new network, it would require someone like Nokia Siemens Network to do that hardware, software. 

Google Phone seems like a phone preloaded with google tools, just like the iphone is really just a phone preloaded with ipot stuff.  Neither of them have anything new.

What Google and Apple brought out was Marketing. 

Nokia still remains at the top. Let them fight...!!
