14 DAY TRIAL // Owners of a Symbian-based mobile phone from Nokia were provided a while ago with an application that enabled easy pushing of content to the device. Dubbed Nokia Drop, the application has just been updated, and new features and improvements were included into the mix.
The new flavor of the mobile application is meant to provide users with a better experience when compared to the previous release.
The release notes for the new flavor of the application show:
New features
- Send map view or send selected location from maps.ovi.com - Send RSS feeds to Nokia Reader application or native browser web feed folder - Choose how to handle received items: automatically or manually UX improvements in Nokia Drop web pages and in Nokia Drop client
For example, the new Nokia Drop version offers users the possibility to chose the manner in which the received items can be handled, setting the option to automatic or manual.
If set handle items automatically, the Nokia Drop UI won't pop-up when items are received. However, when in manual more, users would have to click items in the client to take action, the development team notes.
Another enhancement in the new release is related to maps, enabling users to send map view or selected address straight from maps.ovi.com.
Any sent maps item will be opened in the Maps application on user's devices, and will also be saved to the Favorites folder.
“Now you can easily search for specific places from maps.ovi.com and have it easily sent and saved to your device. This was also something which was proposed by users,” the development team explains.
Another improvement in the new release of the application includes the RSS feed handling, offering users the possibility to select from the Nokia Drop extension/add-on options where to send feeds.
Those who use the Nokia Reader can now send feeds to the application, or they can chose the device´s native browser web feed folder, whichever they like best.
The updated Nokia Drop 1.1 is available for download from Softpedia as well, via this link.
