Ok, got your point re: microblogging.

I have been wondering how the hell it has taken such a long time from the manufacturers to introduce embedded presence? There have been tons of apps doing it (IM for example) but not by NokiaMotorolaEricsson. I could not care less about microblogging but presence would be cool – and most of all useful. Ok – I do care about microblogging, but I’d LOVE a presence solution with seamless integration to 1) addressbook (view) and 2) Device Profile (to change the profile).

presence is a very old concept, i’m talking about the jaiku/twitter features of microblogging.

Karri have so right and yes i belive Jaku clon Nokia. Stefan you shud change to headline..)

This is so good Karri >Nokia’s not copying Jaiku – Using the same arguments we could say Jaiku copied the idea from Nokia. And maybe they did, who knows – but if that helps to speed up the market, copy more:)

Guys – Nokia launced a product called “Presence Server” already back in 2002 (use google to find the press release). It was about incorporating presence into the phone’s address book. The world wasn’t ready back then (believe me, it wasn’t). It also included some other neat functions – but the main feature was shared presence.

Therefore, Nokia’s not copying Jaiku – Using the same arguments we could say Jaiku copied the idea from Nokia. And maybe they did, who knows – but if that helps to speed up the market, copy more:)

hmmm sounds like Nokia is pulling an Apple, apple has done this many times i.e. reverse engineered a 3rd party app and incorprated it info Mac OS
