WiFi connection from Nokia N95 to iPod touch, iPhone with a jewel called JoikuSpot Premium
June 5th, 2009 by Tim ColeA while back we decided we needed a Windows Mobile phone on which to do testing of our mobile music mixing system Mixtikl, and that we needed a touch only version. We were not sure at that time on our iPhone plans otherwise we would have gone for an iPhone instead. We got a good deal on an HTC Touch HD from Orange, and so that was that. However, I have at long last retired the HTC Touch HD as my working phone, and none too soon as it drove me potty.
Why I got fed up with the HTC Touch HD is a long story, but I had a devil of a job accepting calls with the front slider, making calls by mistake, it being so very slow to do anything on and a host of other reasons. Besides which, having now got an iPhone Touch for testing out Mixtikl, I realised just how poorly the touch screen UI on the HTC Touch HD was implemented. Everything to do with it seems to happen in slow motion compared to the iPod touch.
Anyhow, enough said on that. I was always a big fan of my Nokia N95, as it just worked and always gave good service, so I decided to go back to using that (bliss!). There was one big but, though. Although I liked it as a phone, I was not so keen on going back to keyboard only control, especially for browsing, having experienced the iPhone Touch. What I wanted to do was to find a way to connect my iPod touch to the N95 so I could use that for browsing on, but then use the N95 as my phone.
As luck would have it, I came across a fabulous little app for S60 / N95 called JoikuSpot Premium. For around 15 euros this allows my N95 to become a WiFi hot spot that my iPod touch can connect to wirelessly (and with WEP encryption)! This means that when I am out and about I can browse on the iPod touch, connecting wirelessly to my N95 which in turn is connected to my network. I can also use chat etc on the iPod touch. I had being tempted to consider getting a monthly subscription to a hotspot network like The Cloud etc, but it always seemed so expensive when I was on a contract with a data plan sufficient for when I was not at home. So, all in all, a result!
NB: I did have a little problem running the app, once installed, but I took my heart in my hands and upgraded my N95 Firmware to the latest version, and that seemed to fix that.
What I am waiting for next is for iPhone OS 3.0 to be released, because I _hope_ the there will be drivers in it to allow me to connect my Apple Wireless (bluetooth) keyboard to the iPod touch. Great for making notes on the go etc. I also just hope Safari in iPhone OS 3.0 can be configured to turn off images so as to save bandwidth – goodness knows why that option was never included in the first place.
Finally, I figure I will be really sorted once I can also figure out how to connect up iTM Keys so that I can use MIDI to control (and input to) Sonar in Parallels. 
But I am a bit stuck on that right now…
