Ovi Is a Dashboard, Not a Portal
Anssi Vanjoki is speaking about Ovi. Ovi is about connecting all of your life. There will be a standard menu navigation bar, with the same icons as on your phone. Ovi.com has been in internal beta testing and will be opened through 2008.
Ovi will offer one signon to connect all of your services. Contacts will be shown as relationships, in context with the rest of your connections. Your calendar will be in context also.
Computer element will be a pc suite. Ovi Suite, pc is repeated, looks like no Mac love. Explore view is an innovative floating icons for photos, videos, and other. Connections based on time and place, and can quickly upload to flickr, twango, etc.
The mobile element is already begun via the new multimedia menu. 3rd party services can be integrated in the future. The final version of this new ui will be ready next summer.
Booooo, where is the Linux version? Or a Mac version for that matter? I though Nokia were pushing their devices as free and open?
