The Map View is a new feature on Share on Ovi.

Once again it is hats off to the team behind Nokia’s “Share on Ovi” service, because once again they have seem to have looked at how others have implemented a particular feature, before providing a superior implementation of the same feature.

What I am referring to is the “Map View” that was recently introduced at “Share on Ovi”. The Map View is available for each channel and provides a map, showing all geo-tagged media in the channel as overlays.

The image to the left shows what a Map View looks like – pictures and videos (BTW, I was not aware videos could be geo-tagged – were you?) recorded at the same position are lumped together and shown using a single marker. The granularity of the Map View changes as you zoom in and out.

DivX Mobile Player has been upgraded to v0.91

As I opened DivX Mobile Player on my mobile today, I got the message shown to the right.

The current v0.90 version has expired because a new version has been released. The new v0.91 version does not appear to bring about many new additions or changes, but since the old version has now stopped working, you are forced to upgrade regardless.

I have upgraded and basically, there are two way to upgrade: by downloading and installing directly on the handset, or by sideloading – more on that further down.

Last week I sold off my 6220 Classic.

I did not let the 6220C go because I did not like the handset - I actually liked the 6220C's feature set - and the implementation of it - especially because the form factor makes it a handset you just slip in and out of your pocket. I am sure the 6220C - and its companion, the 6210 Navigator - will play a big part in promoting GPS and nice cameras.

Both handsets can now be had quite cheaply here in Denmark - both are about 400 $ SIM free. In the past week or so, the 6220 Classic has climbed from being the 10th best selling handset in Denmark, and had a brief stint at #7, according to the site mobilpriser.dk.

No, I sold off my 6220 Classic for two reasons: one major and one minor issue.
