It seems that Nokia is getting ready to introduce a new Ovi-branded product – and this time it’s not about Maps or Mail or Music, but about a browser.
What kind of browser? Well, i
don’t know at the moment,because Nokia has yet to announce anything about this. CJ from zomgitscj.com has found that Nokia set up download pages for the so-called Ovi Browser, both at the Beta Labs website http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-browser and at the Ovi website http://browser.ovi.com (neither of them is functional, though).
No password or permission to
download it from http://ovi.browser.com.
There’s also an Ovi Browser Twitter account that’s followed by the Ovi Daily App Team.
Apparently this twitter account is being published by the “Ovi Daily app” twitter account which lends some credence to the notion that this is an official application, Something new, coming soon perhaps?
Ovi Browser may be a general name for all new Nokia browsers included in Symbian, Maemo and MeeGo. Or maybe it’s just for Symbian? Another guess: it’s both a mobile and a desktop browser (although I doubt Nokia wants to enter the desktop browser market).
What do you think is the new “Ovi Browser“? A new internet browser for Nokia devices? Any guesses???
My opinion:-
In late march Nokia purchased a company Novarra, Specialist in side-loading..
Web Browsing on Nokia has never been as fluid and easy as on platforms like Android and iPhone – and if you’ve got a Nokia capable of downloading Opera Mini then you ’re probably using that already. It would seem that Nokia also agrees that side-loading is the future of mobile browsing.
Novarra is a big company – it’s not just about mobile browsing. It does a lot of optimisation, delivers a lot of media content including video to mobile, publishes it ’s own widget platform and does a lot of mobile advertising. All of these are cool bonuses for Nokia +
side-loading browser that Nokia is really interested in.
SIDE-LOADING:-
The first mobile browsers all worked pretty much the same way as full on-line browsers -your device sent a request for information, and received a lot of data back that it processed. The thing is, most mobile processors are pretty crap. So it took FOREVER to load pages. “Side-loading” is a much more efficient method of doing the same thing. This way, there ’s a middle man. Your mobile sends it’s request to a server instead (Vision, in the case of Novarra). Then the server receives the data and processes it. It even detects what kind of mobile device you have, so it optimises the page to work properly on your device. It does all the crunchy work, pares off anything that ’s too heavy for a little device to handle, and sends this much smaller packet of information back to your phone. Since it ’s a big server, it does all of this in a fraction of the time it takes your phone to do it. So not only do you get a faster service, but you ’re downloading less data as well because of the optimisation that the server has done. It helps the networks too, because they have less data to handle.
Side-loading really is the future of mobile browsing. So far, the King of Side-loading has been Opera Mini – and I reckon that’s who Nokia will be aiming it’s guns at.
