Nokia Beta Labs just announced the brand new A-GPS beta application for the N810 that is is supposed to dramatically decrease the GPS lock time.

And as usual, because the project was just announced, the link is totally screwed up :P. so you might have to keep an eye on this URL as it’ll be updated in hours with the download link, and possibly some screenshots.

But it’s a good thing to see Nokia Beta Labs starting to develop applications for the Internet Tables, As far as I know this is the first Tablet-related project announced by the Beta Labs, and it looks like it’s a good start.

That’s all I’ve got now since as I said before the link is not working as the app was just announced, but I shall update this post with more details and screenshots once the website is up.

Updated: It seems that the link is now working, the application is only 4 KBs and requires an Internet Tablet with OS2008 Installed.

Start My new blogging season with this piece of news that I am really excited about, and waiting for Nokia to implement it for the rest of it’s cellphone collection.

The Newly released Nokia N78 got it’s first update, via OTA which stands for “Over The Air” meaning that the update is done directly from the cellphone, no need for the software updater client that is a total disaster and doesn’t work on many machines for absolutely no good reason.

And I know you’re proabably thinking, Updating will take a while since normally firmware updates are 100+ Mb, and downlading this amount of data leads to killing the battery and/or keeping you in debt for the rest if you’re life if you’re using a data connection and got no unlimited plan, well believe it or not the update is 2 Mbs only!! Oh Yeah, and directly from your phone, that means it’s the coolest thing ever.

Apparently Nokia has found a way to update only specific things on the firmware, without the need of reinstalling it all again, which is brilliant, and time-saving, On the other hand, it leaves me with security doubts, is this is safe? is someone’s phone gets hacked or receives an annoying virus, Is there a way to completely install the firmware other than resetting to factory settings that sometimes doesn’t help, We’ll have to wait and see.

More Info about this update available on Symbian-Guru .

Hello Fellow readers,

I’m extremely sorry for leaving this blog postless for more than two month, but it was for reasons out of my hand, and now that my finals are done, I can start updating this blog again.

A lot happened while I’m gone, lots of leaks happened including the first touchscreen S60 also known as Nokia Tube, the N85 and some other leaks that is less exciting, N78 was released, too bad this thing got GPS which subsequently means I’ll never get to touch it, at least legally.

Few days ago Nokia bought Symbian and pledged to make it open source, which is a thing I believe was made to compete up with the already rising open source Andriod mobile platform by google, I’m going to have a dedicated post about this purchase later here in this blog, I have tons of ideas in my head about posts and plans for this blog that I hope you’d like.

So, that’s basically it for now, new stuff on the blog to revive it, and increase it’s traffic rate, something that got diminished after I transferred it from wordpress, and with that visitor diminish came the commenting diminish too, something that I don’t like.

Anyway. Better start the real blogging then .
