Facebook, Twitter, Email - whatever you want!

Twitter has recently announced that UK Twitter users can now receive inbound Tweets at no cost. If they decide to combine this with Skype on N97 handsets, then they’ll beat the other UK carriers HANDS-DOWN in terms of take up by the new Mobile computing fraternity. Are you listening Vodafone?!!

What will this mean to the average user? Well, first of all, I don’t think the Nokia N97 is targetted at teh average user. It’s a high end mobile compuing platform that replaces many of the functions that several current devices do very well, but with the convenience and speed that comes with everything under one roof. Features that I’m personally looking forward to usng for my business include:

• High speed internet access
• Live video streaming (to Qix/uStream.tv etc) & video phoning
• Massive storage
• Social Media embedded with business applications
• A good quality camera, and DVD quality video recording & playback
• AGPS & mapping
• Keyboard AND massive 640×480 touch screen

Whilst it’s true that there are several good competitors to the N97, some with higher end spec cameras, the Nokia N97 is the only device which seems to combine all of these features on one place.

Don’t forget it’s multimedia features too, like stereo high speed bluetooth, mp3 downloads, and too much too list here.

Will I be getting one? You bet!
