Free Navigation Via Nokia's Ovi App
Google seems to be getting copied in all the things. Microsoft followed Google and came out with Bing, which I hear is doing fairly well. In fact, like Googling, the latest word ‘Binging’ is coined for Bing. Though I personally prefer to choose Google. Only its backdrop is all I like regarding Bing (if you didn’t know, Microsoft is replacing Google on iPhones. So That is iPhones will now have Bing). Another service of Google that is being replicated is free navigation service. Now Nokia too on its way to introduce free navigation service via the Ovi application.
Check Out Below Details About the Nokia Free Navigation Via Ovi App” Includes:
Google’s Free navigation service is free only in US where as Nokia would have its services free everywhere. As per the given info, this function will be accessible in 180 countries with Voice Guidance available in 74 countries and traffic info for 10 countries.
The options surely look great and could add value to the current Nokia market. This is again a competition to Google which had a short time ago driven the Droid phone with its free navigation features. And the fact that Nokia app has more gains, it makes the competition even harder for Google.
Nokia cell phone users can download the app from the official site of Nokia. At present, the app is available for download for just a few of Nokia models. However, in near future all Nokia cell phones will have the access to Ovi apps.
This may also help Nokia get back the sales it has been missing in the past. It’s time for Nokia to hit back industry. Having said, you never know when a certain Smartphone manufacturer will show up with something even more useful and counter back Nokia. Until then, let’s see how good the new feature of Nokia does in the market and among its consumers and prospects.
Get Ready To Bing Things On Your iPhone
Ever since Google has gotten into the cell phone industry with the release of Google Nexus, Apple Google rivalry seems to become worse. At the moment Google is the default search engine on iPhones. But, now this will not be the case.
Most probably Apple will group up with Microsoft and set Bing as the default search engine for iPhone users. For those who remain dubious what Bing is: Bing like google is a search engine from Microsoft. What sets Bing apart from other search engines like Yahoo, Google is its visual functions. The background of the Bing home page changes often and you will find info shared about the picture and things related to it. However, the search results are not that good when compared to Google. Nevertheless, one should definitely check out Bing for its design (Personally, I use BIng only for its homepage).
Going back to our subject, Bing may take the place of Google on iPhones. This may be a great loss to Google and a big gain to Microsoft. A while ago Google and Apple were two biggies of two totally different industries. but now Google has got into the Mobile market and may be in future it might also give hard competition to Apple. (Though presently there is no Smartphone which is as desirable as iPhone. Blackberry is there, but caters to a particular segment as opposed to iPhone which is coveted by one and all.) The guys at iphonehelp say if change inthe search engine takes place, Microsoft may become the majorsearch engine tending to overtake Google.
Doubtful what they mean by ‘overtake’: Only for iPhone people or will it also change the usage routine on Desktops and Laptops. And if that occurs, that will be news. After all decade of being used to Google, will shifting to Bing seem alright? I realize I just said I like Bing but not as much as Google.
