Nokia N60

At a Nokia event held at Oulu, Finland, more potential applications of Nokia S60 smartphones have been showcased with live demos. Most of them are Internet-centric, which clearly states the future of mobiles as Nokia sees it.

Among the most interesting applications presented at the "The way to live next" event is the Point and Find - an exciting application for your camera-equipped S60 mobile. You shoot what you are facing and the device fetches real-time information from the Internet. The Shoot to Translate is another useful application that allows you to capture words in foreign languages and translate them in real time.

Nokia also showcased the so-called widgets for mobile phones. They are mini applications which bring favorite web content to your mobile phone for free. The service is offered by Widsets.com and since it's Java based it can work on your regular Java phone as well. Among the most popular widgets are the mobile versions of YouTube, Flickr, Ebay, Wikipedia, IMDb, and various weather forecast and news services.
