Nokia N91 Video
Posted on 11:36 am by Paul ColliganOne of the many highlights of Podcast Expo 2006 was meeting Craig Syverson from Grunt Media. He’s brought some serious class and professionalism to this industry - things we can always use more of.
When Nokia gave me the N91 phone, I had to get the impression of someone so worried about quality.
We shot a quick video clip where he asked about the resolution of such a device.
Specifics - 352×288 MPEG-4 Video, AAC - 16 second clip. 1.1 meg.
And, since I just wrote that piece on free video hosting at Netscape, I gotta use this as my proof of concept.
You can download the original file, (not compressed, etc. for Web viewing) here.
Or, of course, you can click to play the video over at Netscape.
It ain’t the best test of the phone (and I’m sure the Grunt would subject it to 18 different tests), but I figured I’d upload this clip so that people can see three things: A) the raw video clip as I pulled it off the phone (sure ain’t bad) B) I wasn’t joking about the free Netscape raw video hosting and C) video proof that the Video Grunt guy doesn’t run away when I enter the room.
Although I had problems with the WIFI element of this thing, I do like the phone a lot. I’ve been listening to some recordings on it for the last few days and like the form factor, interface, etc. When I head over to London to present at MacWorld in February, I’ll take the phone and a SIM card from Mobal and make it my Video Blogging, Podcast Listening, Phone Calling phone. Should be fun.

Oh man, too much fun!
Thanks for the heads up. Just watched both.
Why hasn’t Geoff been signed for the trillion dollar deal that he is worth?

Reposting this in case you missed it from the WLAN question.
User Guide is available at: http://www.nokia.com/podcasting
PS: I love Geoff Smith! Not only are his jingles rocking, his original music is super cool, too.
anyway…
WLAN connections arent setup in Nokia Podcasting. Nokia Podcasting’s Default Access Point will only show WLAN connections which have been previously set up on your device. (For example: TOOLS>SETTINGS>CONNECTION>ACCESS POINTS)
The “Always Ask” option will show available connections (including non-hidden WLAN) when connections need to be made. Note that some WLAN connections shown might not be accessable from your device. (i.e., Restricted access. Requires password.)
See your Nokia device User Guide for instructions on how to set up a WLAN connection.
Here is a walkthrough:
Nseries Device Main Menu > Connect. > Conn. Mgr. > Availab. WLAN
If you cannot see your preferred WLAN connection from the Default Access Point, you can create a WLAN connection from the Connection Manager application on your device.
1. To search for Wireless LANs available within range, go to your Nseries Device Main menu.
2. Select Connect.
3. Select Conn. Mgr.
4. Select Availab. WLAN.
5. Highlight your preferred WLAN access point in the list
6. Open the Options menu and select Define Access Point
7.Define the settings for the selected access point
Hope that helps.
