Nokia has released an early build of MeeGo for handsets (call it a pre-alpha version, if you will), thus keeping its promise made last week. This version of MeeGo that’s available today is a work in progress: the APIs are not stable and some components (including Web Runtime, APIs and optimizations for TI and Intel Atom chipsets) are missing. However, the build includes a Touch UI framework, Qt 4.7 with Qt Mobility API 1.0, and early versions of the core application suite – so developers interested in MeeGo can go ahead and give it a try (on the Nokia N900 or the Aava Mobile). Detailed info on lots of MeeGo projects can be found at this official webpage. Downloadable files, including the early build of MeeGo 1.1, are accessible here.

The Nokia X2 was announced today, and it once again proves that a company like Nokia , thanks to their scale, can introduce devices at price points that are simply unheard of. For 85 EUR, $112 or Rs. 5000.00 you get a fairly compact 111 mm x 47 mm x 13.3 mm phone that weighs only 81 grams.
Now yes, the 2.2 inch 320 x 240 pixel screen may be small by today’s standards, but you get a 5 megapixel camera, support for all the GSM/EDGE bands, a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, dedicated music buttons, integrated FM tuner that has an antenna built it, stereo speakers, over 25 days of standby time, and over 13 hours of talk time. It even has support for Bluetooth 2.1, and can take microSD cards up to 16 GB, but we’re thinking it should also support 32 GB cards once they become more common place.

At CTIA Wireless 2010, Nokia Siemens Networks has unveiled an upgrade to its core mobile network technology that lets operators provide faster, more efficient mobile Internet services. The upgrade allows operators to offload Internet traffic at an optimal point in the network – typically close to an Internet peering point – in order to minimize the distance it is transmitted. This saves transport and traffic processing costs.
“Operators typically need to deploy relatively costly servers to process mobile data traffic,” said Matti Palomaki, head of Packet Core product management at Nokia Siemens Networks. “Our new approach allows a high volume of Internet traffic, or any operator-specified traffic, to bypass these processing servers and legacy packet core gateway nodes (GGSNs). In the era of smartphone-induced data growth, such “offloading” of traffic can deliver significant savings in next-generation HSPA and LTE networks.”
Traffic offload can be deployed across Nokia Siemens Networks’ Flexi Network Gateway (NG) and as a simple software upgrade to the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN). The Flexi NG and SGSN are key elements of Nokia Siemens Networks’ evolved packet core (EPC). Traffic offload can be deployed in both distributed and centralized gateways in 2G, 3G or LTE networks. The first phase of traffic offload is already available.
The network architecture for traffic offload is the simplest possible. As offloading takes place in the Flexi NG mobile gateway, it does not require additional network elements along the signalling and data paths. The solution supports subscriber mobility in an optimal manner and can reduce delays in data transmission to improve the experience for people using real-time applications over mobile networks. In instances where an operator has distributed Internet peering points, the Flexi NG can easily be deployed as a distributed gateway at each of these points to reduce transport network costs, while the SGSN intelligently selects which of the distributed mobile gateways is closest to the subscriber.

Nokia has officially announced that they are going to provide free GPS turn-by-turn navigation service for all Nokia smartphones worldwide. There are some Nokia smart phones that are currently enjoying the free GPS navigation such as the 5800 Navigation edition and the 2700 Navigation edition. And they’re adding more phones to get the free GPS, which are listed for you after the jump.
The Nokia’s free GPS service on Nokia Smart phones is also backed by Nokia Ovi Maps, with a new version of the maps to be available that will include high-end walk and drive navigation at no extra cost, turn-by-turn voice guidance for 74 countries, in 46 languages, and traffic information for more than 10 countries as well as detailed maps for more than 100 countries. The Ovi Maps can be downloaded from Nokia website. You’ll also get free event guides, free Lonely Planet guides and Free Michelin Guides on the system.
The Nokia N97 is not in the list above, but it’ll get the Ovi Maps starting from Jan 28, whereas the Nokia N900 will probably not get free navigation. Nokia is to launch smart phones pre-loaded with the Ovi Maps starting in March. The free GPS service on Nokia smart phones surely brings great impact to GPS service providers like TomTom and Garmin.
