Update – WiFi connection from Nokia N95 to iPod touch, iPhone with a jewel called JoikuSpot Premium
June 6th, 2009 by Tim ColeHaving posted about JoikuSpot yesterday, I now reckon that JoikuSpot is probably the best app I have ever come across
, as it has set me free in a (mobile) way I have always wanted, but never been able to figure out how to do.
I am doing this update from a cafe, and connecting my MacBook Pro to my S60 Nokia N95 wirelessly; no cable required. This morning I even had a googlechat session on my iPod touch (via N95) whilst on a walk and listening to music. JoikuSpot lets you see how much data you are using up, which is handy as I can see that doing chat etc uses very little, whilst normal browsing via the iPod touch uses quite bit as there is no way of turning images off.
Anyhow, with this kind of set up, all you need is a (suitable for your needs) data plan from your operator, and a suitable S60 device and a computer/laptop (or iPod touch) with WiFi. Provided you are not wanting to do too much, you don’t ever need to consider a mobile hotspot plan like with BT Openzone or The Cloud etc (well, I don’t now, anyhow).
Sorted, and big thanks Joiku!
PS: I would expect that operators without an iPhone offering would be jumping at the chance to partner with Joikusoft Oy. The reason being that instead of losing customers who wanted an iPhone, they could suggest instead maybe getting an iPod touch with an S60 device and it would be nearly the same (well, customers could use the iPod touch instead
). Maybe the operator would even want to offer customers a bundle of S60 phone, iPod touch and JoikuSpot, and bring their purchasing power to bear. Now that could make sense!
