Nokia Easy Meet: Nokia’s Mobile Collaboration Service

Nokia Beta Labs has introduced a cool web/ mobile collaboration service called ‘Nokia Easy Meet‘. It lets you use your mobile device and/or PC to create, conduct, and participate in meetings with your business colleagues as well as your friends and family. The service is about sharing content synchronously and in real-time.

Nokia Easy Meet is an extremely easy tool to use, as it doesn’t require anything installing on your device. All you need is a device, whether a mobile device or PC, with access to a web browser. You can set up the meeting right on your phone and shoot out invites via SMS or e-mail, and the meeting itself allows for both text, voice and graphics to be used. There is integration with Ovi Files, also, which is an excellent feature.

Key features include:

* File Sharing, supporting PPT, JPEG and PNG
* Chat
* Meeting Minutes
* Whiteboard
* Gesturing
* File Downloads
* Participant Awareness
* Remote Content Access (OVI Files).
* One click to join a conference, including voice conference

Nokia has gone to great lengths to make Easy Meet browser based, but while the basic functionality sort-of works across platforms, as soon as one tries something more interesting, such as scribbling on a slide, the limitations of the browser become obvious.

Collaborative working on mobile devices has potential, but mobile browsers aren’t yet capable or standardised enough to make it practical, and a set of native applications would clearly be better, though more expensive to develop.

But if you fancy sharing holiday snaps with family members while avoiding having to breath the same air, then Easy Meet might be the tool for the job. Nokia Easy Meet will also work fine on your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone.
