3 replies · 2,579 views · Started 25 February 2008

In this podcast we cover current developments around Nokia's Ovi strategy including Sync, Share, N-Gage, plus we chat about all aspects of the Nokia N96, following on from our hands-on preview. Finally, we rant and rave a little about Google's new native search 'client'. Here's the link: Insight no. 14, plus the RSS feed to sign up for the future.

Read on in the full article.

One of the benefits of Share on Ovi you don't mention, in comparison to Flickr etc, is the ease with which it is possible to embed your Share photos/videos elsewhere (for example websites). Share provides code with each upload, alowing easy embedding of video players or links into other sites. For that reason alone I switched form Flickr.

No matter what you haters say, the google search app is still faster because it preloads and connects the browser in the background while you're typing. It can also give you the choice of going to the full fledged results and saves your last search.

People say that "I can open the browser and type faster" etc etc, but they have to compare this to Nokias search, the one that takes ages to open.

All they need is a active standby plugin (and the option of taking the Nokia search plugin away) and it's perfect.

Sorry if I'm ranting at you for nothing (I admit, I haven't heard the podcast yet), but the general reception of his app in the internets annoy me.
