Hey all you beta users!
First of all I want to thank you all for giving feedback and finding bugs which haven't all been noticed by us. So thanks for your contribution!
Second we have good news for you. Finally we have released some new features in Nokia Drop (version 1.4), including:
- automatic update
- silent installation
- new first-time-use tutorial
- Store&Forward
With automatic update you will have always the latest client available. We will send you normal drop message (will be received in manual mode) to your client and you can download and install update whenever it is convenient for you. Also free applications from Nokia Store are now silently installed to your device, you don´t need to click ok anymore to confirm the installation on the device. But there is a possibility to cancel download and installation from recent download –list in Anna + S1 versions and in status panel in Belle version in case you need to.
There has also been feedback that people don't know what to do with Nokia Drop. That´s why we have added an informative first-time-use tutorial, which will be shown after Nokia Drop installation and after that can be shown again via Options > Help. Hopefully this gives some idea to new users what you can do with this service.
Then we have an amazing feature called Store & Forward. Items get stored for you if your client is not online. You´ll receive them when you go online next time. Nokia Store is also supporting this Store & Forward feature. This feature is new offering of Nokia Notification API server. More info about the feature and API can be found here: https://projects.developer.nok
Last but definitely not least we have made a new version for Nokia Belle software. It is more integrated to device software and we don´t have the recent download list anymore. All activities are shown in status panel and pop-ups. In the Belle version we are more automatic and we don´t have manual mode available anymore. Store&Forward features are shown as manually downloadable in status panel despite that everything else is automatic. The Belle version also has the new features mentioned above.
Feedback of this “more integrated to device software” version is very valuable for us when we are planning the future development. So try it and give feedback via the Nokia Beta Labs forum. Also, you can still use the Anna version in Belle if you want to use manual mode and see the recent download list.
I hope that you like these new features and there is more to come, we promise. Stay tuned and give your feedback here at Nokia Beta Labs.
