Nokias New Service

At the ongoing Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona in Spain, Nokia has announced the beta version of Nokia Maps 2.0 -- among other announcements.

Nokia claims Maps 2.0 takes mapping and navigation to the next level by enhancing pedestrian navigation, adding multimedia city guides, offering satellite images, and sporting a redesigned user interface (UI).

Googles New Product

Google has expanded its free software suite 'Google Apps' with a new version that allows users to collaborate on documents, calendars, and presentations within an organization.

Google Apps "Team Edition" is targeted at both employees and students. Any group can verify their business- or school- email address, and can instantly start sharing documents and calendars securely without getting the IT department involved.



Once a user has signed up for the "Team Edition", he/she is allowed to invite others to join, or identify people within the organization already using Google Apps -- to collaborate and share documents.

Anyone who signs up from a user's domain is automatically added to the user's group, even without an invitation.

"Team Edition" currently covers Google Docs, comprising documents, spreadsheets, and presentations; Google Calendar; Google Talk; Start Page for Apps services; and customized content.
