BANGALORE: Nokia today unveiled three new applications developed on the S60 platform with the aim to improve user Web 2.0 experience, which include WaveSecure, Web Server and Quick Office.

 

WaveSecure is a security application for mobile phones that allows consumers not just to track their handsets, if lost or stolen, but also creates a backup for the phone data via the Internet.

Once the backup is created the owner can also wipe-out the data from the phone, ensuring that it cannot be misused. The retrieved data can then be restored on to any S60 phone using a restore option via the internet.

 
The Web Server application allows users to access their mobile phones via internet. One can access recent call logs, send messages from the phone remotely, access the photo gallery and take photographs through the Web Server application.

Quick Office allows all Nokia E90 users to edit their Microsoft office documents from the phone itself.

“S60 on Symbian operating system offers a great platform to innovate with user applications”, says Nokia APAC Director-Business Development, Mobile Software Sales & Marketing Mahmood Kalantar.

“The focus of our strategy is to give people choice and simplicity - key to delivering the best user experiences to add value to people’s lives”.

In addition, Nokia has also showcased four applications that have been developed in India.

These include Mundu IM from Geodesic; SMS Scheduler and Smart Assistant Live from Aims Migital and Voice Reminder from OneView Systems.

“India is a hot bed for innovation and we are working closely with Indian content developers to create innovative content and applications that deliver rich experiences for end users, additional revenue flows for operators and exciting business opportunities for developers, Web designers, and Nokia business units.

"Currently there are over 3.6 million developers registered on Forum Nokia of which 108,000 are in India - the largest number of developers from a single region, and we look forward to an increased engagement with them,” revealed Kalantar.

Kalantar also quoted a Canalys report from Q4, 2007 which says that S60 is the leading smartphone software platform in the world with over 53% market share of the converged devices market.

The platform is under continuous development by Nokia and licensed by some of the industry's top mobile device manufacturers.
