Mobile phones are playing a wide role apart from what they  are suppose to do.

Mobiles made the communication possible ,from any where to anywhere in the world.

But last few years specially from 2006 ,the mobile devices got few more dimensions to offer more services and functions

Few more very new innovative concepts started in 2009 and still developing through out 2009.

1> use of Bar codes /3 D codes

2> Use of SMS payments

3>very new ,use phone as a credit card.

Benefits of 3D or Mobile Codes

Mobile 3 D codes are similar to the bar codes we use and happen to see in the products ,which indicates price and some other relavent information and make the billing proces simple to the business organizations.

The ordinary bar codes are 2 D it means, it can consist lessor information comparing to a mobile 3D bad code. Mobile bar codes can have a plenty of information . For example you can create a name card with all of your contact details in a mobile bar code .

When you point your mobile phone which has bar code reader ,it easily read the information written and translate to normal text.

A detailed article about mobile codes and uses can be found in my another article “Mobile codes who and why ? ” click Here for to read more.

Now a lot of books ,and products carries this 3D codes so you can easily encode using your mobile phone. Buying a bus ticket ,saving contact information faster, sharing information faster are possible (find in my dedicated article Mobile codes who and why ? )

SMS payment system are being very old ,as you can confirm via sms to debit your mobile bill to get a service from you mobile service provider or from a third party .

Mobile Credit  Card: it is new !

Now the new trend ,widely being tested in US and Uk after great success in Japan is Mobile credit cards.

So that you dont need to carry your credit card al the way ,just tap your mobile phone at the payment counter gadget ,it will take the money from your credit card which is programmed in your mopbile device.

In US  the test is ongoing in a small scale ,but there will be a lot of work to be done as merchants,credit card companies,payment gateways,en users like lot of parties involved in implementing this system.

once it is success in US ,it will be available in all other countries very faster.

It is extremely slow. But once loaded it works fine.

Nokia Comunication Centre Beta Release

October 10, 2008 at 11:40 am · Filed under Mobile Lifestyle, Nokia N95 ·Tagged , , , ,

Nokia communication centre has been updated this month ( 7th 0ctober 2008) VIa beta Labs . If you have the latest PC suite 7 which has the nokia communication centre inbuilt, but the latest release stand alone communication centre (beta) is much pretty as you can edit your calender entries in the pretty big computer screen. the earlier version doesn’t has calender feature, you can edit contacts and do all the sms communication ,but this one has sms,contacts and calender handling. it is much impressive part of nokia communication centre 2.

It loads the sms and your contacts plus the calender entry of the connected phone Via USB cable very fast ,comparing to the previous technology of the PC suite. (I cannot use blue tooth with Pc Suite 7.0.8.2 and my Nokia N95 8gb ,the connection is extremely slow and cannot perform most of the tasks )

You can download the beta release from Nokia’s Beta lab Web Site

Officially they mentioned this additions to this new release

  • Calendar editor
  • Contact group support
  • Contact thumbnail view
  • Performance improvements
  • Lots of bug fixes

I am happy with the calender editor as I mentioned above but the interface colour it not giving a good feeling ,may they update the interface colour  in the future editions as it will be the easy way to identify the attributes of the entry by colours.

With this message editor sending message is more easire, all windows has search box ,so you can search messages ,contacts and calender entries very simply ,it is quiet faster way, here you are not moving your data to pc and do it,it all done in real time directly on the phone.

Calender is Now much big and easy to work with, remember when you work on your pc ,directly you are working with your phone. Thanks to CC.
