Foursquare for Nokia Series 40 updates to second version

The official Nokia blog announced the latest updated version two of the Foursquare for Nokia Series 40 app. Just some time back, this application was updated for the Android and Windows Phone 7 platforms. In its earlier version, the app could only be used to check-in by high-end phone users. However in order to reach the masses its improved version enables users to check-in from anywhere via affordable phones as well.
The app has gone international and claims to provide users with enhanced functionality. It now employs Nokia Maps to show users their locations and features the ‘Explore’ section which displays nearby places their friends recently visited.
Posting check-ins has become a huge trend in the world of social networking online. Via this new version users can add new locations and record their location as well as publish it on their social networking sites. The app claims to have more than ten million users and over three million check-ins published each day.

About Nokia N9 Support

The Nokia N9 or known as the Lankku is one of the first for the Finland based cellphone company. In fact, it has been one of the most phones that are worth the wait, with its revolutionary addition of the MeeGo Harmattan system as its OS, instead of the usual Symbian. Due to its firsts, Nokia has promised and guaranteed that N9 will be having its support system for quite a long time. Due to such pledge, Nokia loving people would not have to think twice in comparing it with an Apple or an Android phone.
This has been mentioned by Klas Ström, Head of Portfolio Management in Marketing for Nokia that he also a twitted of the undying assistance the company is willing to provide for the ever-anticipated phone. Since the N950 is also running on a MeeGo, it would also be riding on the support bandwagon too. In short, there is no need to worry since no abandonment would happen.

Nokia Maps v3.08 Updated

The latest edition of the app splits into parts on the screen and claims that its users will get to their destinations in a faster and easier manner.
Almost the entire layout of the app has been changed and it now features bigger buttons for convenient usage. There are three sections namely Drive, General and Maps & Walk. The icons are visible in a shade of green with rounded edges. Set destination, Just drive and Drive home are the three buttons users will see on the screen when they select the Drive option. On tapping the first button, users can view an option to select an address from their contacts.
In the earlier version users could not delete previously searched addresses which resulted in them piling up and looking cluttered on screen. However Nokia Maps v3.08 eliminates this problem as users can long press on an earlier search and then click on the delete pop-up which appears.
The app has, by default, a live traffic routing feature which provides users with the most convenient path and gives them constant information about the traffic, saving them from traffic jams. A tap on the options key will present users with a variety of buttons which perform functions like increasing the volume, changing the view to 3D or setting a destination.
There is a new information bar on the Drive navigation and Drive assistance screens too. The web version of the Nokia Maps application in beta also works on non-Nokia devices such as some Android phones and the iPhone 4.
