The Finish giant always wants to go step further. Apparently, they are planning to make all their devices location aware in the future.
According to the popular navigation software developer and one of Nokia’s partners, Route 66, sooner rather than later “we’ll see GPS in everyday mobile phones – even pay as you go cheapies.” It will be another selling point for the handset manufacturers. Still, the battery issue remains, as GPS is draining the power of the phone.
I like the idea. Just hope that we’ll also see more powerful batteries along with this. We’ll watch this space carefully… (via: Navigadget)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
