Hi all,

I'm thinking about going to create an application for MeeGo that will allow user to manage phone's contacts, images, music and videos via nice web-interface.

Does anybody else need such tool?

With this application you will able to see and manage all your phonebook and gallery contents on PC using only the browser.

Usage scenario:
1. Run application on the phone
2. Application will show a link, for example: http://192.168.0.123:9876 (and may be password for authentication)
3. You enter this link in the browser on PC (in same network)
4. Browser will show your phone's contents with some nice dynamic web-UI

Similar application for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...transfer&hl=en

I'm just curious is there any potentional users of such tool? Do you need this stuff? Does it worth to create this application?

Thanks for replies!

Don't need it but DO WANT it!

Something like this would be a very welcome tool to have

I know that the Nokia suite can also show files etc with a pretty UI, but that does involve cables and prompts for other functions when you plug it in. So a clean UI with no cables would be very handy to have.

Since I'm a linux user, I don't know much about what Nokia Suite can do.
But if Nokia Suite is able to communicate via BT, it is nearly the same.

I think I will be able to implement playing audio&video from the phone on PC directly in web-interface, without copying it to PC first. Don't know if Nokia Suite can do this. But i also don't know if anybody needs it

Yes, I mainly use sftp when I'm at home. But when I'm somewhere else, copying files from phone without cable will require installation of some software on pc

It cannot... But that's unnescessary once the device is registered to host-PC via BT. At least this works out of the box with WIN7 for copying "usual" content. OK for home use.

But this would definitely be a nice-to-have if you want to do that with ANY PC without the need of BT-registering the device first or if there simply is no BT.
If this method is also safer than USB - great!
Really not kean on such an experience like this...

No, NetView is a VNC server. You can "see" your phone screen on PC and simulate taps with the mouse.

I'm proposing the app that will allow you to manage photos and other stuff like you manage photos in Picasa, for example. This is not about viewing phone screen on PC

For me the audio&video playback from the phone to PC alone is awesome enough for this project. Some doesn't have DLNA capable devices but when you want to share pictures or videos using their computer without plugging in your phone (and possibly get a virus or two) is actually quite cool. Of course if the gallery view can be limited somehow to play-mode only so that not many private infos are shown
