LifeviNe: Track Your Life!
August 30, 2008
Nokia and other mobile handset manufactures are striving hard to get on with iPhone3G with a huge set of features and facilities that the iPhone had not provided. Nokia Beta Labs is up with a software LifeviNe and will be soon laucnhed which will get your tracked as you moved along in life. You can also access the pictures, music and video of wherever you’ve been, either on a map or a time line. After you install it you will need to run lifeviNe widget on your device and it’ll pinpoint every image, video and music to a location. You can also put in the videos and share with others.
According to Nokia Conversation, The new app is based on Sports Tracker, which has been a huge hit since it launched out of Beta Labs last year. Although they share the same base architecture, the two apps look and feel completely different. Once running, you can use your device as you normally would, or keep an eye on your activity using the lifeviNe app.
As well as tagging all your media’s locations the app will also track where you’ve been (so you need to be careful when you have it switched on!), and plot your journey on the web based map when you sync it at the end of the day. Uploading is a cinch too, as lifeviNe can be set to automatically upload whenever you’re in a trusted wireless zone.
Online you can look at and share your journeys, filtering by user, place or time. There’s also an online widget which you can place on your blog or Facebook page, allowing others to see what you’ve been up to.
We’re told we should see lifeviNe in Beta form within a few weeks, and I personally can’t wait to try it out. Fusing the web and your device like this is a pretty cool concept and from what we’ve seen this app looks stunning, and pretty easy to use.
You can get more of that from here and from Nokia
