”Sesca provides mobile software and development services for mobile phone operators and manufacturers and for enterprise customers. By giving iDial Mobile application to users for free, we hope to receive plenty of user experience, feedback and ideas for further development of the application. Our intention is to offer iDial Mobile Community solution with support services to enterprise customers”, says Juha Sumelahti, the Managing Director of Sesca Mobile Software Oy.
The iDial Mobile application enables users to share their availability, presence and location information automatically. The application is able to fetch calendar and profile information from the user’s mobile phone. The application shows if the user is in a meeting or if they are available, and the mode of their mobile phone (shut off, meeting or mute mode). iDial Mobile application also identifies automatically the nearest WLAN and GSM network and shares the location of a community member. Users can also write personal messages in a status field, an option used widely in web communities.
Members of the iDial Mobile Community can place free VoIP calls over the Internet in WLAN or GSM networks. They can also send and receive chat messages and engage in multiple simultaneous chat sessions. With a poke functionality users can send and receive vibrating poke alerts to mobile phones. The features of iDial Mobile application include automatic updates of new versions and diverse options for user settings.
The user manages different functionalities of the iDial Mobile application through a personal web page. Users can update the internet phonebook, which also shows contacts’ calendar, presence and location details; invite new members to the community; engage in a chat session with an other user’s mobile phone; and send poke messages to a mobile phone. The personal web page includes also real-time calendar, presence and location information of the user.
”Sesca iDial Mobile Community is a future showcase of rich communications tools and web communities built by integrating web 2.0 and mobile phone technology. To become truly popular, a web community has to offer multiple tools for seamless communication. We also believe that enterprises will also implement mobile communities in the near future”, says Andreas Paschinsky, the product manager of iDial Mobile Community.
The iDial Mobile application is currently available for Nokia mobile phones running on Symbian S60 3rd Edition operating system.
