Nokia Lifeblog Review on All About Symbian

I’ve posted an in-depth review of Nokia’s Lifeblog software (a pair of applications, one on your mobile, one on your PC, which manage your media) over on All About Symbian.

The catch to Lifeblog is that the appeal and power is not going to be flexible on the first few uses. Even two weeks into using the software, Lifeblog is only a page or three of pictures and texts, most of which I can still remember taking or reading. But in a year’s time (or even six months), after a few trips abroad, some family holidays, a couple of conferences, and a renewed vigour in taking pictures thanks to having somewhere to put them, the timeline, archiving, searching and user-friendliness of Lifeblog will undoubtedly shine through.

Lifeblog is a shoebox of personal media for a digital age, and with it being all too easy to lose digitial images on our computers, it’s like a searchable set of negatives. If smartphones have made taking pictures and videos more convenient, then Lifeblog has made finding them and storing them just as convenient. Throwing in the textual and messaging archives as well is a wonderful bonus.
