Nokia launched its Nokia TV application, at the
moment only in Finland. This application gives Lumia phone users access to the
online collections of (at the moment) Finnish TV companies. For example, one can
view news, documentaries etc. which one did miss on TV. Of course, it is a bit
like YouTube, but, due to format issues, these online TV depositaries cannot be
viewed using the iOS on iPhone or iPad. To use this application one needs a
good 3G connection or WiFi, otherwise the data stream gets interrupted. Real time
TV is does not show you, but off course this may change in the future.
Finland was probably chosen to launch this new
feature, for two reasons, first of all, TV
companies maintain web sites hosting online program material, news,
documentaries, series etc, and secondly the 3G and WiFi coverage for mobile
devices is extremely good in Finland.
TV programs can be viewed only, not downloaded for obvious copyright reasons. But a great addition to the growing list of WP Apps. It runs in Nokia Lmia 710, 800 and 900 phones.
