Here is a brilliant video of indoor navigation app for Symbian^3 being demoed as Nokia World 2010, if this comes to market it will change how people shop.<br />
<br />
Parents will be able to keep track of their kids while in shopping centers, potentially this tech could be just used as a tracking app also for kids.<br />

<br />
In a surprising and unexpected move, Nokia's Anssi Vanjoki has just resigned, this is possibly down to the fact that Nokia have just installed Stephen Elop formerly of Microsoft.<br />

<br />
Amazing technology showcase from Nokia, it shows how a hacked can of spray paint will let you use your Nokia N900 to create spectacular light displays<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0033cc; font-family: arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">Lady Bna-nas, Madcheeze and Introcept are street artists from Australia. But for the 2009 Push N900 competition, they were known as the Light Hack Crew. They love graffiti but they also share a passion for technology. So they created an electronic spray can and hooked it up to a Nokia N900. The spray can creates an LED light source and the hacked N900 captures the beautiful time-lapse images. See for yourself.</span></blockquote>

Dow Jones Indexes names Nokia as world’s most sustainable technology company for second year in a row processed and transmitted by Hugin AS. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Nokia is the world’s most sustainable technology company according to prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes Review 2010. Nokia was chosen as “Technology Supersector Leader” making it number one across the entire global technology sector for the second time in row.</div>

For us, sustainability is not a trend but our way of doing business. We remain committed to action and continue to look beyond our own operations to harness the power of mobile technology to address environmental, social and economic issues.”</div>Ireland's Technology Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06095553984004135010noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467359956676622328.post-15976219581305920322010-09-09T10:44:00.001+01:002010-09-09T10:45:11.752+01:00Nokia launches mobile TV<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">People watching video on their mobile devices has become a fairly common sight nowadays. What’s less common is people watching live TV. People are still anxious about data rates, while getting free WiFi or a stable 3G signal remains problematic in many places. What you really need is a TV receiver for your mobile device. And you’re in luck, because Nokia has just launched one – the first such add-on, from anyone.</span><br />

The Nokia Mobile TV Headset, DVB-H, is all you need to turn your mobile device into a portable television. Anywhere there’s mobile <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-H" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #115522; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">DVB-H</a> (Digital Video Broadband – Handset) coverage, you can tune into sports events or TV shows and watch them without worrying about an Internet connection. DVB-H is also kinder to your battery life than Web TV solutions.</div>

The headset handles call reception and volume in a similar way to other mobile headsets, so you won’t miss calls while you’re watching the game. It also features keys for changing channels and music controls for the player on your handset. There’s an app called Mobile TV available for compatible handsets. It’s either pre-installed on compatible devices or it can be downloaded from the Ovi Store or<a href="http://www.nokia.com/support" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #115522; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">www.nokia.com/support</a>.</div>

It is expected to cost €40 before taxes and will appear in Q4 2010.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">One word of caution. While it is expanding, DVB-H coverage is still patchy in many countries. Licensing issues and lack of frequency availability have stalled many projects, though there do appear to be working services in the Netherlands, Russia, New Delhi and Helsinki, for example. Check carefully with local dealers before you buy.</span></div>Ireland's Technology Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06095553984004135010noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467359956676622328.post-42961044775012329552010-09-08T20:20:00.000+01:002010-09-08T20:20:48.403+01:00Nokia N8 Interactive Unboxing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There’s 51MB of memory on board, but audiophiles can expand this to up to 16GB with a microSD memory card – enough space for 4000 songs. The device also offers an FM radio. Topping off its musical credentials, the 5250 comes with a free copy of the acclaimed Guitar Hero 5 Mobile: this is a phone that invites you to rock out while you’re on the move.
