Nokia Mobile Web Server - beta!

Nokia just released the Mobile Web Server beta - free of charge.

Technically there is nothing revolutionary to it.
But in a use case perspective, it's impact could be immense.

As the name implies, you basically host your own small footprint web server, right there on your phone. Yes - a small web server, being able to render web pages dynamically. Yup! :-)

Suddenly adding a blog post to your mobile blog, is just as fast as writing a SMS. Or a MMS if you want the post to contain visual media.You write the post, add the picture, and click "Post", and it's posted. No waiting time, because the blog is hosted right there on the device.

So the real upside is, that you don't have to wait for the post to be "posted" on your blog, over a not-always-too-fast wireless connection. Sometimes even using obscure and slow add-ons. And you don't have to pay for uploading the photo etc... NOT!

Not - because the downside to all of this is of course, that you need to pay for uploading it, each and every time a new visitor wants to take a look at your post.

With the current sky-high rates for up- and downloading using 3G/4G services, it's not that attractive not to be able to control the cost of your next bill. But for Wifi-enable devices - such as the delicious Nokia N95 amongst other Symbian S60 devices, it's not less than a revolutionary new way of doing mobile blogging.

Furthermore you can share your calendar, and your friends can send messages to you from you mobile site. And this is only the beginning! :-)

Yes - the mobile server is for S60 devices only - not for other mobile phones. Perhaps someday a Java version will show up.
