Nokia Demo Their Explore and Share Super Speedy Wireless Transfer Device

by Jay Garrett on February 28, 2010

Nokia are working on a super swift wireless data transfer technology that they’ve dubbed: Explore and Share.

Nok’s Helsinki branch of their Research Center took the concept for an outing at a Nokia Store where Jyri Hämäläinen presents an impressive show and tell.

In the video he walks you through a live example of how it can be used, including wirelessly transferring a Bruce Springsteen album onto a phone in less than 10 seconds.

As Jyri explains, it could be used to fill a device you’ve just bought with stacks of apps, tunes, and the likes within minutes of purchasing your new Nok.

Explore and Share is based on new radio technology and as you’ll see in the vid the system comes in two parts – the ‘writer’ which you place your mobile on and a touchscreen monitor where you make all your choices.

The neat thing is that the writer will automatically recognise which device has been plonked on it and will offer a customised selection for you based on the handsets capabilities and possibly your previous purchases.

Watch and marvel at the 10 second album transfer:

uTorrent Now Streams as You Download

by Jay Garrett on December 21, 2009

uTorrent is quite a natty BitTorrent client (apparently) and is very popular amongst those who share films and music – legally obviously ;)

It works like most other BT clients but now you can stream video before it’s finished downloading – how good is that!!!??

This new function can be found on the most recent uTorrent beta. This will allow you, the viewer, to start watching almost instantly, with the download being weighted to the front so that you get the bits you need in 5 minutes before the bits you need in 45 minutes.

“Our hope is to transform getting media using uTorrent from a ‘load-wait-watch-tomorrow’ to more of a ‘point-click-watch’ experience”. It’ll certainly help the client compete with dodgy TV streaming sites.

You can pick which movie player on your computer that you’d like to use in the preferences – it defaults to the DivX web player.

Just click the “play” button next to the download, and when enough has been grabbed it’ll go green, ready to start.

Go get it here
