Nokia launches location-aware chat client

This actually kind of neat… Nokia has just launched a limited trial run of its new chat client. The aptly named Nokia Chat comes to us by way of Nokia labs, and takes advantage of the built-in GPS found in many recent Nokia handsets to provide your chat buddies with location and proximity information. Sure, it’s a little creepy, but we’re all for adopting and exploiting new technology to its fullest. Assuming you’re using a device equipped with both GPS and Nokia Maps, you’ll be able to broadcast your location for the world to see, as well as pinpoint your buddies on your map application. Sound like fun? Assuming you have a compatible device, (N95 8GB, N95, N82, N81 8GB, N81, N76, E71, E66, E51, 6290, 6120 Classic, and 6110 Navigator) hit the link for more info and get your chat on.

    At last nokia realised there chat client. It is a good thinking. But, what about my nokia 3230? Why we cann’t use it?May be Nokia lab software programmers have any limitation, if it is, then request to Nokia. Kindly provide the source code for open software foundation many more programmers in the world. Someone create it or develop, or give the source code to us. Our programmers will create it freely for nokia and for open source software. You ppl can contact with me by email. Thank you
