Status updates are a very popular feature of Facebook. Many Facebook users like to use them to tell people where they are or what they are doing. Nokia is now offering a new application to make that task even easier.
Lifecasting with Ovi will allow people to publish their location and status updates to their Facebook account and do so in a very easy way. Users of the application will be able to perform updates from the home screen of their mobile device. Lifecasting will first be offered on the Nokia N97 mini. The Nokia N97 mini is expected to ship in October and will retail for EUR 450. The software will also be available for the Nokia N97 and Nokia N97 mini through Nokia Beta Labs.
This application offers a logical extension of what a lot of people already do on a regular basis. Now they will be able to do it easier by tapping into the GPS capabilities of their mobile device. Now before those with privacy issues air their concerns, here’s a simple thought. If you don’t want someone on Facebook to know where you are simply get rid of them as a friend on your Facebook account. I’ll send you my consulting bill later.
Consumers wanting a feature packed mobile only have to look as far as the new Nokia 6730 classic, which begins shipping in June and will be available exclusively across Vodafone’s global footprint. Mobile internet, Vodafone Music Client and personal and business email access along with mobile navigation capabilities are all included in the Nokia 6730 classic. The device utilises S60 software which means customers can easily download their choice of additional applications from the web.
Peter Becker-Pennrich, Director of Terminals Marketing at Vodafone says “The Nokia 6730 is a great all-round handset – just as perfect for mobile internet users as for music fans who want to take their tracks with them. This product follows a successful line-up of Vodafone exclusive devices from Nokia and is another great example of our collaboration. ”
With the Nokia 6730 classic, getting lost and being out of touch with your friends could be a thing of the past thanks to the mobile navigation capabilities on the handset. The services offer accurate turn by turn instructions helping both drivers and pedestrians to find their way. It also provides access to comprehensive point of interest databases and both white and yellow pages information making it easy for the user to find their destination, whether that is an address, a company or even a person.
“‘Feature packed’ describes Nokia 6730 classic really well. With its iconic design – available in sleek black or white – the device is a perfect upgrade for Nokia 6500c or 6300 users or anyone seeking an elegant device, optimized for mobile internet and navigation. What’s more, this mobile comes with industry-leading power-saving features and accessories” says Gustavo Eichelmann, Head of Vodafone Global Account Team, Nokia.
