Michael Halbherr, from Nokia, says Nokia is planning to include positioning support to all their phone models and satellite positioning (GPS) to every second phone.

Nokia estimates it will happen before 2010-2012. Now Nokia has five GPS supported phones and four more are already published. Estimation of sold GPS-units this year are 35 million. Amazing numbers.

Nokia will also improve their map services Ovi, to toughen the competition against Google. Service will work seamlessly between mobile and desktop browser. Desktop will function as routing planner on top of the map and user can follow created route with mobile application.

This is for developers: GPS (Location) capability will not require certificate signing in S60 devices v. 3.2 and above. It will be user granted option, which is good for development sake.

We are once again proud to be mentioned as a “Success Story” by Forum Nokia and featured on Nokia Enablers and Infrastructure web page!

How cool would it be if developers and designers could create great-looking S60 applications without any special technical knowledge? Creating mobile applications for S60 devices generally requires knowledge of Symbian OS, the platform’s underlying operating system, and the C++ programming language. However, simplicity is the promise of Kuneri Ltd.’s KuneriLite, a rapid application development toolkit that lets users create S60 applications on a PC using only Flash Lite from Adobe. “There is no need to know anything about Symbian OS, since the developer never touches any Symbian code,” says Ugur Kaner, CEO and co-founder of Kuneri Ltd.
