I was watching the launch event for the Nokia N82 and noticed some new things.
Ovi,which is Finnish for door, is set to become Nokia's internet arm of services. These services include, navigation, music, pictures and more.
In the first picture, you can see all the things that make up the Nokia N82. To the left, a music player, a PDA, a navigation, a handheld video game, a phone and a camera have merged to become the Nokia N82. Reminiscent of like Voltron, the N82 is the ultimate in gadget convergence.
More importantly, to the right are the services the Nokia N82 brings. Many of these partnerships are already present on other Nokia phones like the N95. There's already flickr support, a Windows Live Messenger client, integrated search from Yahoo, Google Maps, games from EA Electronic Arts and video links from YouTube and CNN. What caught my eye were the Myspace and Skype logos.
There isnt any real support for either of these services yet. A Skype client for S60 had been in the works since early 2006, but nothing ever came of it. While there is third-party support from applications like the IM+ or Fring, I'd love for a real Skype client to come out. Since most S60 phones have a front camera, a dedicated Skype client should make use of that for video chatting.
Later on during the presentation, I again noticed the logos of popular social networking sites. Myspace, Linked in and Facebook were listed. They all have mobile portals, m.facebook.com for instance. Could dedicated S60 clients be on the way? I sure hope so.
With Google's recent plans for OpenSocial, it would be awesome if Ovi could integrate them all. With Ovi, you could be connected to all your social networks and have them all in your pocket.
