Nokia announces Ntropic Nseries phone/tablet harmony (as if)

Posted on 2008-08-27 20:18:00 UTC.


Tablet owners are thrilled about Nokia's new Ntropic (pronounced 'entropic' - a concept of thermodynamics) software product for Nokia Internet Tablets running OS2008 "Diablo" and Nseries S60 phones. The open-source, exstensible software is currently available as a free download for Internet Tablet and Nseries phone owners.

Ntropic's features are exciting:
  • Ntropic Sync: Message, address book, and media synchronization between tablet and phone.
  • Ntropic Connect: Automatic wireless managent on the tablet (switching to HSDPA when WiFi is unavailable)
  • Ntropic Awareness: Enhanced mapping features with location awareness, allowing users to find local businesses based on their location. Locations with phone numbers available will have the option to call the business.
  • Ntropic Location: GPS assist, allowing N800 users to use their phone's GPS for map software or allowing N810 users to extend the accuracy and speed up satellite locks.
  • Ntropic Image: Lightweight photo editor for downloading photos from the phone, minor editing (cropping, rotating, annotating) and automatic upload to major photo sharing sites.
This new software finally puts Internet Tablets in the spotlight as the premiere Mobile Internet Device and raises the bar on what competing companies must offer. The only reported flaw with the software is that it simply doesn't exist beyond this blog post. Ntropic is a piece of wishful thinking -- but maybe it will be reality one day. We can hope.
