Google announced Google Maps for mobile version 2.3 for S60 and Windows Mobile smartphones. Earlier it is available only for Android, Blackberry and iPhone.
Lenova is making an Android phone? This seems to be true. Here is a pic of the rumoured phone from modmygphone.com, for sure this will make HTC shame.
"The increase in awareness of the Web on mobile devices--due to the iPhone and new RIM models--has helped contribute to this growth, as has the continued move towards flat-rate data plans by many mobile operators"
“We don't expect the MID (Mobile Internet Device) market to become meaningful relative to other opportunities we can address ... of all the opportunities we could go after, we have eliminated microprocessors for smart phones.”
"One of common types we see now runs amok on the Symbian platform. These viruses work their way through the contact book, sending themselves out to every subscriber who has been called or has called that handset."
"But in the last four months, the majority of viruses we now see are of a new type that either masquerade as an MP3 file, a picture file, or a media file"
"The Eternity brings the big screen to the palm of your hand.This touch-screen mobile TV handset is part of Samsung's TouchWiz line of phones and keeps you entertained and connected on the go."AT&T Mobile TV is another highlight, which streams television contents from CNBC, ESPN Mobile, MTV, Nickelodeon, CNN Mobile etc. Eternity includes a good web browser manipulating the touchscreen with easy navigation and Zoom-in Zoom-out capabilities.

Yes, you heard it right! Nokia's roadmap for upcoming smart phones leaked. There are over 30 sexy smart phones on their way to hit the market. But don't think that Nokia is going to launch all the prototypes in the roadmap. Also there is no authentication for this. The list also include the announced 5800 Tube. The prototypes are labeled either 'Development complete' or 'In development'.
Any way there are a lot of promising designs among them. Here are some that attracted me:
Corolla: It, code named as Corolla, is supposed to have a 8 megapixel camera! Nokia about to challenge players like Samsung which already has a 8MP cam phone on the market? This non-touchscreen half QWERTY keyboard phone will use a 3 inch VGA display. It says OS 5.0.1. 128MB RAM and 8GB ROM is also proposed. more than enough for a phone right? The model is under development, it says a prototype availability of 2009 11th week.
IP08: One more widescreen touch that we know so far. They expect it to be available by the end of this year. It says 'QWERTY' keyboard too?! Is it a sidekick phone? Supposed to use OS 5.0. megapixel auto-focus camera, Wi-Fi, TV output etc are other features. It also features Nokia's own Naviscroll.
Ivalo: To all our surprise, this follow-on to IP08 phone will have a ROM of 32GB! The phone under development will feature a 3.5 wide touchscreen and all other IP08 features. Prototype is expected to be available with in this year.
Surfer: Nokia completely developed Surfer with Landscape 2.6-inch QVGA screen, QWERTY keyboard, NaviWheel...
Athlon: Considered as refreshed N85. Include features like Quadband GSM, HSDPA, 8-16GB ROM, analog joystick, integrated compass, stereo speakers, GPS, WiFi... Its 5MP camera comes with xenon flash.
Eitri: This may be the most promising prototype in the list. It will be a Landscape candybar with QWERTY keyboard. Will be using a 3.5-inch 640×350 display. It says pressure sensitive touch UI with tactile feedback and
gestures! Along with a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera the phone under develpment includes an integrated compass, accelerometer and proximity sensor.
Tera: Tera will have 'hybrid QWERTY keypad' along with AGPS with integrated compass, 3MP camera with LED flash, WiFi.
Jig: Jig's special feature is that it is a Landscape slider for AT&T using 6650’s guts. Other specs will be Quadband GSM, HSDPA, 2MP camera, 2.4-inch display.
Ofcourse Nokia's research department is too rich for the coming year. No doubt, with a few exciting novel features, the market leader is going to rock coming years. Etri and Corolla deserve special attention as they are capable to take smart phones to next level! See the complete roadmap here.
" The original design for the Ascent Ti was heavily influenced by the dynamic power of luxury sports cars and working closely with Ferrari has enabled us to progress thes vision. The new Vertu Ascent Ti Ferrari editions are the definitive automotive-inspired handsets - bold, balanced and with the unmistakable character of the Prancing Horse."Ascent Ti editons use same leather and stiching used in latest Ferrari car interiors. The battery cover and the sides of Ascent Ti resembles respectively the bonnet and louvers of various Ferrari cars. 'Ti' in the model name resmbles Titanium, the non-corrosive metal with which the phone 'chasis' is made of. It also features fine sapphire crystal screen. The ringtones in Ascent Ti include original recordings of original Ferrar engine sounds from the F430 and 612 Scalietti, blended by famous songwriter and musician Dave Stewart. The Ferrari logo also appears on the front and back of the phones.
