Mobile Web Server

Hi all,

Nokia Series 60 comes up with applications that simply amaze your imagination. It goes alike for applications that are released and those that are coming into existence quite soon.
The best place to find those which are coming is probably Nokia Beta Labs with an equally imaginative tag line – Shaping the future together.

Two great applications available for use are Mobile Web Server and Nokia Map Loader. While Mobile Web Server has been available for a while now, Map Loader has just been released.

I have been using Mobile Web Server for sometime, and can tell its a truly innovative application. A simple download, and an account does the trick. Oh yeah, you do need a GPRS/EDGE/3G/Wifi connection to make this work. Being totally dependent on the network, it might not be possible to make use of all the features but surely few of them can come very handy.

All the relevant information is available at Mobile Web Server site. An account is at the site and you are assigned your own address like http://yourname.mymobilesite.net

The download is available for Series 60 Nokia phones and is a Symbian download. I would recommend doing the download on the PC first and then transferring the application to the mobile through bluetooth or cable. Its around 3.8 MB on my Nokia E51. Continue reading “Mobile Web Server”
