Last modified: | Strange hole in Nokia's Downloads'Downloads' facility appears to vary wildly depending on the handset in use. Some anticipated applications, like Rok TV, are definitely missing on some devices. British mobile TV expert, Rok, claimed its software is displayed in the standard, Nokia sponsored, Downloads section on most Nokia handsets. But we tried to access Rok from no fewer than three different Nokia handsets on three different UK mobile phone networks. The Rok app simply wasn't displayed. It drew our attention to the fact that the range of software applications on offer from Nokia is different on every single phone. The facility isn't even named consistently. On most handsets it appears as an icon named 'Downloads'. But on the Nokia E61 on test with the Mobile Software Insight, the same facility is labelled 'Catalogs'. Downloads, if we should call it that, is actually a useful facility and one of the apps on offer – in this case free from Nokia – is a Wifi access-point finder. Very useful. Also included in this list of apps, however, should have been Rok's streamed mobile TV software client. But currently it just ain't available. We would have loved to report on how useful this free access to free mobile TV content proved to be. Sadly, we can't.The full Inquirer story ...Bizarre hole in Nokia 'Downloads' exposed |
