Nokia recently held a Bloggers Meet it Bangalore to popularise its product.

A Meet of the Bloggers was organised on 11 November.

Over 300 Bloggers participated.

Some major applications were highlighted.

One is the location of places with more details akin to Google Street Views, where one can view the name boards, signs in Shops and even Menu in Eating Joints.

Being a non technical person, I am curious as to know if there is technology with the help of which you can see things out side your room, is it not a possibility that the technology can be used to see through Bed Rooms as well?

Then how is it the these Applications are allowed?

Or these Applications are available but disabled ?

Some Other Applications .

 

‘Here are 11 highlights of the event:

1) The event was hosted by the Tech Guru Rajiv Makhani and the amazing chef Vikas Khanna. They set the stage on fire with their breathtaking wit and stage presence.
2) Foodies vs Techies – A whole bunch of games for determining who among foodies and techies are the best
3) Around 5 Lumia phones and 20 Portable chargers were given away as prizes although many faces were seen wondering what is to be done with the charger’s. o.O
4) Bloggers came in from all parts of India just to attend this mega event.

Now Nokia plans to release more Free Maps Applications and Services to its Rivals’s handsets.

Here Maps will initially be released on Apple iOS devicesoffering downloadable street plans for offline use, and audio-based directions for pedestrians.

Nokia is also developing a version for Mozilla’s forthcoming Firefox operating system, and will release software tools to allow third parties to make use of its data on Android devices.

The move is designed to help the firm compete against Google’s rival product.

Nokia already powers maps available on Windows Phone handsets, Amazon’s Kindle tablets, Yahoo services including Flickr, Garmin sat-nav kits, and about four out of five cars with in-built map displays. Last month Nokia also unveiled a deal with Oracle that will see the business software firm make use of its location services in its products.”
