Nokia has yet to announce any model for this year but they have shown a few software upgrades for Symbian and Maemo.
Rumors have filled the world wide web about what the upcoming Nokia devices might. So far we have had rumors and a few sketchy photos of a N98 and X10.
Both phones are from the multimedia section of Nokia’s production line. No news on the business E series devices by the finish manufacturer.
Could they be skipping the E devices this year? Or are they finally ready to launch a full touch E series device? Until then have a sneak peek at the X10.
UEFA dot com has launched an app with which you can follow your favourite team. The UEFA app is very usefull and fun with a neat interface.

Intel and Nokia have blended Moblin and Maemo to release a new software called MeeGo. This new OS will be hosted by the Linux Foundation and it will also be completely open source.
MeeGo will be released by the second quarter of this year and we will see the first mobile devices running this OS by the end of the year. Here is what the guys at Nokia promise us that this linux based OS will provide for us:
- Global leaders Intel Corporation and Nokia merge Moblin and Maemo to create MeeGo, a Linux-based software platform that will support multiple hardware architectures across the broadest range of device segments, including pocketable mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment systems.
- MeeGo offers the Qt application development environment, and builds on the capabilities of the Moblin core operating system and reference user experiences. Using Qt, developers can write once to create applications for a variety of devices and platforms, and market them through Nokia’s Ovi Store and Intel AppUpSM Center.
- MeeGo will be hosted by the Linux Foundation and governed using the best practices of the open source development model. The first release of MeeGo is expected in the second quarter of 2010 with devices launching later in the year.
- Nokia and Intel expect MeeGo to be adopted widely by global device manufacturers, network operators, semiconductor companies, software vendors and developers.
Nokia has launched a new app for the s60 V5 that I find quite interesting. Nokia Diagnostics was launched by betalabs and it is one of the most useful apps I have seen from Nokia.
This app is designed to run troubleshooting on the phones hardware and software. It determines whether your phone works in its optimal parameters. The first release is not for 3rd series Symbian but it is announced that it will come soon.
This first release has five test that it runs :
1. Network Coverage test
2. Internet connectivity test
3. Battery charger test
4. Loudspeaker &
5. Earpiece test
Hope that when it is released for the S60 V3 it has a bluetooth test for as we all know that is the most pressing issue with the E75.
