Nokia issued a press release today announcing an update of its popular LifeBlog mobile blogging and media organization tool.  Version 2.0 (also featured at CEBIT 2006 in Hanover Germany next week) is part of Nokia's ongoing push to enable "Life Blogging" for its users says the BBC article reviewing the upgraded application.

PDASNews reported that:

"Nokia today introduced Nokia Lifeblog 2.0 , a unique collection and storage solution for personal multimedia content that enables you to maintain a photo album with a minimum of effort. Designed exclusively for Nokia Nseries multimedia computers, this PC and mobile device software combination makes collecting, storing and sharing multimedia content easier than ever.

As with previous versions of Nokia Lifeblog, you can create a rich personal multimedia diary, with photos, video clips, messages and text notes all stored in one place. With content organized in a chronological manner, it is easy to browse, search, view and share the content both on your mobile device as well as on a compatible PC. The new version of Nokia Lifeblog builds on the previous versions by adding audio notes as well as other valuable context information, such as calendar entries and location information, to the diary. This means that images and video clips are surrounded with the context in which they were taken, rendering them as part of the rich tapestry of items that make up your personal Nokia Lifeblog timeline.

With the new Nokia Lifeblog, your Nokia Nseries device can be set to immediately link your photos to information about your location, your calendar entries, and even what time it was. For example, if you used the calendar on your Nokia Nseries device to input an entry for CeBIT, photos taken during that time will be tagged with this information from your calendar, making them easier to find in the future."

Version 2.0 also has several enhancements for N series users including flexible syncing and ability to edit via external applications. Like it's predecessor, the tool works in conjunction with a PC suite to hold and process phone content. Both can be downloaded from Nokia for free.
