Nokia has announced its collaboration with blogging software and services firm, ‘Six Apart’, to offer users of Nokia’s Nseries, a free personal blogging service by Vox. The two companies aim to make it easier for people to upload video and photos, and update their blogs directly from their compatible Nokia Nseries devices to the Vox blogging service. The newly launched Nokia N93i, is the first product to include the integrated Vox service.
Mikko Pilkama, director of Multimedia Experiences said, “Supported by megapixel cameras and high quality video capture, Nokia Nseries multimedia computers have become true life recorders. People want to share their discoveries instantly with friends and family and Vox is a perfect service to share your videos and photos. We want to make sure that Nokia Nseries offers the best possible way for people to participate in Web 2.0 communities when they’re mobile. Nokia and Six Apart are making it easy for people to connect and share their photos, videos and life experiences without being tied to a PC.”
Vox will offer privacy filters, to give members granular control over who views their stories, photos, videos or audio. Members will be able to set any of five levels of privacy on any piece of content they share on Vox. In addition, Vox will offer media integration, including the ability to insert video, photos and web content into posts by connecting with web services such as Amazon.com, YouTube, Flickr, Photobucket, iStockphoto, and iFilm. Also, storage capacity of up to two gigabytes of total uploads per month and three gigabytes for Nokia Nseries users is offered by Vox.
The first device shipping with Vox settings will be the Nokia N93i, but existing users of Nokia Nseries may also download the settings file from www.vox.com/nokia for the following models: Nokia N70 Music Edition, N72, N73, N73 Music Edition, N80 Internet Edition, N93, N93i, and N95.
