CeBIT 2006, Hanover, Germany / Espoo, Finland - Nokia today introduced Nokia Lifeblog 2.0, a unique collection and storage solution for personal multimedia content that enables you to maintain a photo album with a minimum of effort. Designed exclusively for Nokia Nseries multimedia computers, this PC and mobile device software combination makes collecting, storing and sharing multimedia content easier than ever.

"With imaging becoming an integral part of mobile devices, the way people approach photography is changing. You are able to capture events and create memories in a spontaneous way as your device is always with you," said Mikko Pilkama, Director, Nokia Nseries See New, Multimedia, Nokia. "Because of this we have developed a version of Nokia Lifeblog that works exclusively with our Nokia Nseries range. This new version of Nokia Lifeblog provides users with a simple solution to store, manage and share the personal multimedia content they've created. It's like having a photo album and a multimedia diary that builds itself."

As with previous versions of Nokia Lifeblog, you can create a rich personal multimedia diary, with photos, video clips, messages and text notes all stored in one place. With content organized in a chronological manner, it is easy to browse, search, view and share the content both on your mobile device as well as on a compatible PC. The new version of Nokia Lifeblog builds on the previous versions by adding audio notes as well as other valuable context information, such as calendar entries and location information, to the diary. This means that images and video clips are surrounded with the context in which they were taken, rendering them as part of the rich tapestry of items that make up your personal Nokia Lifeblog timeline.

With the new Nokia Lifeblog, your Nokia Nseries device can be set to immediately link your photos to information about your location, your calendar entries, and even what time it was. For example, if you used the calendar on your Nokia Nseries device to input an entry for CeBIT, photos taken during that time will be tagged with this information from your calendar, making them easier to find in the future.

With the push of a button, all your content can conveniently be transferred to a compatible PC, offering permanent storage as well as freeing up memory space on your Nokia Nseries device. Photos and video clips can also be conveniently shared directly from your PC via email or by blogging to a compatible service. Moreover, the PC software of Nokia Lifeblog also makes it easy to import your existing digital photo collection from the PC's hard drive, giving owners of compatible PCs a practical and fun way to browse and share their digital photos. In order to unleash the full Nokia Lifeblog experience, including rich context information and seamless integration, you also need to install Nokia Lifeblog on your Nokia Nseries multimedia computer.

Available now for compatible PCs, the new Nokia Lifeblog PC software can be downloaded for free from www.nokia.com/lifeblog. The new mobile software, which is compatible with all Nokia Nseries devices, is expected to become available for free download from the end of April 2006.
