Nokia multimedia experience also enhanced by A-GPS, Nokia Maps 1.0 and Nokia Map Loader
Nokia has announced a partnership with the Sanook! web site to launch the Nseries Album Online along with the Discover Me campaign, offering the first-ever direct photo blogging from mobile devices to Thailand’s number one online community. A growing Internet phenomenon, blogs (short for Web Logs) let people share their thoughts, lives and experiences with others over the Internet. Nokia Nseries makes it simple to upload text and photos to a blog so anybody, anywhere in the world can see them immediately. Nokia has also introduced A-GPS and a new version of Nokia Maps that delivers the ultimate GPS Navigation experience.
Mr. Bob McDougall, Managing Director, Customer and Market Operations, Nokia (Thailand) Ltd., said, “Nokia Nseries is a comprehensive multimedia computer that delivers exciting new experiences through innovative applications. The Nseries Album Online available at the Sanook web site, Thailand’s largest, is part of Nokia’s vision of being the leader in wireless for Web 2.0, where User-Generated Content such as blogs offers new ways to connect people with shared interests.”
Mr. Torboon Puangmaha, Chief Executive Officer, Sanook Online Limited said, “We are very delighted to work closely with Nokia to offer a new alternative for sharing content in the online society. Nseries Album Online is the first blogging community that directly connects with mobile phone users here in Thailand, making it quicker and easier for them to upload photos directly to their blog from a Nokia Nseries device, without the need to use a PC.”
To promote the Nseries Album Online, Nokia and Sanook have launched the Discover Me contest. People who take digital photos and upload them to the Sanook web site can win prizes such as Nokia N95 and Nokia N73 multimedia computers and Bluetooth BH200 headsets. More information about Nseries Album Online and the unique Discover Me campaign are available at www.sanook.com/nseries.
Nokia is also enhancing the GPS experience by integrating an advanced A-GPS (Assisted GPS) function that detects satellite signals more rapidly. New Nokia Maps 1.0 provides increased coverage in 160 countries and 15 million points of interest throughout the world, while the Nokia Map Loader solution downloads maps into mobile devices. Nokia N95 and Nokia N73 users can download the Nokia Maps program and country maps for free. Navigation and City Guide services are also available at a small extra cost.
