On Friday I mentioned that v3.04 of Ovi Maps was available from Nokia Beta Labs.  Since then I’ve discovered that one of the main ways that this version can claim “Improved positioning speed and accuracy” is that within the application Ovi Maps now includes support for WiFi positioning.  Now, many of us are used to seeing this feature within Google Maps, which uses both Cell ID and WiFi positioning as well as having GPS support.

This now makes 3 different solutions available for Symbian; Google and their Cell ID and WiFi positioning within Google Maps (Google positioning is also used within the latest Alpha version of Gravity, the Social Networking client for Symbian via the fairly new public API), Skyhook Wireless and their Maps Booster solution (which we covered here, and adds support for Cell ID and WiFi positioning into the OS, making it available to all apps), and now Nokia are supporting WiFi positioning within Ovi Maps (in a similar way that Google support it within their Maps application).

This is a nice feature to see, although personally I would have preferred Nokia to either work with Skyhook Wireless, or to integrate the solution into the OS in the same way that Maps Booster does, as just providing it within their own application seems a little selfish, however, it’s a good start.  After all, on the iPhone there is a single positioning system used by all applications, although I do note that Android is expanding; whereas the base OS uses Google’s system, GoWalla (a social location app similar to FourSquare) now uses the Skyhook Wireless Cell ID and WiFi positioning information.

Apparently Nokia have been working on this for some while, to the extent that for the last 6 months Nokia employees across the world have been collecting WiFi location data for Nokia, allowing them to start with a fairly comprehensive database, as opposed to starting with no data at all.  I’m still waiting to understand from Nokia how exactly the WiFi location system will work in the long term; for example, if you have GPS enabled within Google Maps, then you will help Google self-learn new Cell IDs and new WiFi access points by providing the data to Google.  This self-learning also helps when an access point moves due to the consumer moving house (something I experienced when I purchased a WiFi access point from a friend, where Google constantly placed me in the old location of the access point until sufficient GPS-based survey data lead Google’s self-learning system to move the location to my house).

In comparison, Maps Booster from Skyhook Wireless relies upon their own data collection, although there is a website where you can notify them of errors in the database, which (again, based on personal experience) only takes a few days to update with the new information.  Having said that, I don’t know whether the iPhone location positioning (that is provided by Skyhook Wireless) has any element of self-learning.

As I said, at this stage, I’m not sure what method Nokia are using for learning of changes, although I hope to be able to report on that soon.

On the other hand, I have been using Maps Booster on a couple of Symbian phones since writing about it, and I am finding it very useful.  It has had the odd little blip, where it has put me in the US a couple of times, but then over the same period of tested it, Google Maps has placed me hundreds of miles away from phone too.  It seems to me that Maps Booster has some element of caching of data, as when I am at home and in range of a number of WiFi access points, my location appears pretty instantly in Ovi Maps, whereas at work, where it relies upon cell ID only, it seems to take a little longer to place me.  Although this still relies upon having an internet connection, using it with Ovi Maps (with the maps already downloaded via the Nokia Map Updater) it uses a lot less data than Google Maps for a similar journey, which is good news.  For longer journeys, I would still recommend using the GPS to keep the location information accurate, but for short journeys, especially walking (and especially when in between tall buildings, such as London), then Maps Booster is proving to me to be as useful as Google Maps’ equivalent.

Of course, ironically just after I wrote about wondering whether I could live without Google Maps and use Ovi Maps instead, Google released Google Buzz, which shows Google is still innovating within their client, and which has probably lead to me using both clients; I would love to switch away from Google Maps, but until Nokia integrate more sharing options into their client, or applications take advantage of the Ovi Maps SDK, I’m pretty tied into Google Latitude (more than I realised when I thought I could move away from Google Maps).

Finally, over the weekend I asked Nokia to comment on the situation regarding coverage on elder phones, and received the comment “It’s coming”.  Now I can’t guarantee that was aimed at FP1 (as opposed to supporting more FP2 phones which is still formally missing), but I think we’ll see an announcement from Nokia on this issues soon, but not immediately (I would suggest another few months before we see anything definitive).

Now, this is a nice bit of integration; get an Orange branded Barclaycard credit card, and not just will you get support for contactless payments, but you’ll also get a range of additional Orange specific features…

• You are able to keep track of finances via text messages and spending controls
• You benefit from contactless payments
• You gain Orange reward points which can be redeemed for other things

Taking each of those points in turn, the functionality on offer looks very interesting (although I’m no financial expert, and a typical  APR of 18.9% might not be the best value out there; oh, and it’s an APR of 29.9% on cash advances)…

Some of the spending controls come from Barclaycard (actually, the reward scheme may come from them too), although whether the full range of text options are available from Barclaycard, I’m not sure.  Either way, the Orange card offers the following:

Automated SMS alerts to keep a tab on spending:

• Weekly – the balance, limit and credit remaining
• Monthly – the payment due and payment received

Customer-activated SMS alerts:

• Customers can set alerts and blocks on card spend online, abroad or for high value transactions,
• Customers can set a weekly or monthly budget and set alerts when the budget is reached or chose to automatically decline transactions if they exceed the budget

It’s nice to see the ability to be notified of certain transaction types.

Contactless payments is quite a new thing, but starting to take off in London (there are already over 7000 places which will accept contactless payments in London, and another 3000 nationwide).  Given the £10 limit on these payments, many of the places that accept them are food chains, such as EAT, Yo Sushi!, Prêt a Manger and Krispy Kreme doughnuts.  Should your transaction end up over £10, you can simply use chip’n'pin with the same card.

If you want to know where you can use such a card, then Visa have a map here which can show you, however, you can only search on a company, type of business, or an exact postcode of someone who takes the contactless payment; you can’t enter a postcode and see all people in your local area who accept the card, which seems a little strange.

Finally, the reward scheme seems to offer payout in terms of high street vouchers, discounts on Orange products and purchases in their shop, tickets for events, or the ability to donate to charity.

Also, as a member of the Orange family of services, there is access to your account online.

I like the integration with text alerts, and it shows Orange is added something over and above simply taking a similar card direct from Barclaycard, but as with all financial matters, I’m not qualified to give advice on whether it’s suitable for you…

A while back, we covered 3UK’s plans to update their network in London, which would result in small interruptions to their service as they replace equipment necessary to allow them to proceed with their major infrastructure merger with T-Mobile next year (allowing both networks to share the same infrastructure for the benefit of all customers).  Well, 3UK have just announced some wider plans in the South (in a variety of locations from Torquay to Ipswich, and from Milton Keynes to Folkestone).  If you want more information on the areas affected, when they will be affected, and the ability to sign up to receive text alerts (to 3UK or non-3UK mobile numbers) then head here for more information.

Thanks to 3mobilebuzz for letting me know about this new information.

Last week we covered the news of the new v3.3 for Symbian and Windows Mobile, and today Google has launched v3.3 for Android as well.  However, it’s not quite got the same feature set, with some additional features, and some missing features too.

Firstly, they now have the “What’s Nearby” feature, which lists nearby businesses, and can often provide useful information on cafes and restaurants nearby.  To access this, just long press on the map and tap on the bubble, and look for “What’s nearby?” in the menu.

Secondly, they have added a range of Labs features (in essence, Beta features that you may want to use to make the program a little better); these include:

• A scale bar on the map
• Showing a terrain layer which adds a level of height and the ability to see a shaded relief map
• Search for popular categories
• Turn the blue dot into a compass to show which way you are facing when stationary
• Added Layers support to be able to see Traffic, Satellite mapping, Latitude users, and Transit lines (eg the London Underground)

There’s also a “Report errors in the map”, but that’s definitely US-only, so won’t be available in the UK.  It’s worth noting there is no mention of the star / favourites syncing that comes with the v3.3 on Symbian and Windows Mobile.  It’s not clear whether any other of the Labs features are US-only, but it’s nice to see Google still managing to innovate and provide new features into the products, even if it’s not consistent across their full platform range.

Absolute Radio (105.8FM, also available online and via DAB) have released an interesting feature which works on the iPod Nano.  It’s called iTunes tagging, and it works like this; you tune your latest generatino iPod Nano into Absolute Radio and listen to their songs.  Should one of the songs catch your attention, you can tag it, and then when you dock your iPod, you’ll be able to see who the song was by, what is was called, and you will even be able to buy and download the song from iTunes.

This is a nice level of integration between the non-connected iPod Nano and the well-connected iTunes PC, and could prove a nice feature for many people.

Absolute Radio have more information on this service, including a video on their website here.

At the start of this week, 3UK implemented traffic shaping on their mobile network.  What this does, in simplistic terms, is prioritise certain data over less welcome traffic.  Although they initially announced it would cover video streaming and P2P File Sharing data, 3UK have now relented, and it only covers P2P File Sharing data.  So, if you are using a 3G connection to download data over a peer-to-peer network (even legitimate files like new Linux OS images) then you may be receiving slower data speeds than before.

The exact details of the bandwidth limits that have been put in place are not known, but this will hopefully ensure there is more bandwidth available to share out evenly amongst all customers.

For information, the video streaming limit was planned to limit each device to be only able to download 1 video stream at a time, although this was not implemented.

Although 3UK have always promoted their internet connection as unrestricted (and, given these types of traffic are still allowed, technically it still is), it will be interesting to see if this deals with the congestion that has been seen in certain areas of the country.  Of course, whilst implementing this, they are continuing to roll out their network changes (see here for information on the London outages); 3UK have confirmed that the London outages are for elder equipment to be swapped out for newer equipment in preparation for the merging of their network with T-Mobile which should happen during 2010, and give both companies access to even greater coverage and provide users with more bandwidth across the whole country.

Last night I was privileged to be invited to a small, cosy location in London 2 floors underground to discuss with LG some of their new phones recently released, and about to be released.

John Barton, the UK Sales & Marketing Manager, spoke candidly about the LG range, and there’s a summary of the devices that were discussed after the break…

(more…)

As part of 3UK’s major plans to improve their network across the UK, 3UK have to start somewhere, and that somewhere is London.  Already hitting capacity in certain areas, it makes sense to me to start with London to roll out what should end up as a faster, better network, which is one of the two areas 3UK really still need to work on (the other being Customer Services, but that’s not unique to 3UK).  So, to achieve this, there are going to be some outages required, but 3UK are being open and upfront about this, and have even produced a webpage dedicated to these upgrades showing when and where they will happen.  If you go to www.three.co.uk/london, you will see the information for yourself (although over time this webpage may well change to reflect other areas of the country), and you can also sign up for text alerts to be alerted to these issues (which allows you to enter a 3UK mobile number, a non-3UK mobile number; nice option!, and up to 4 postcodes, to allow you to cover home and work, and a couple of other places too!).

Importantly, it looks like from next week until just before Christmas, you may find you lose 3G signal for around 6-8 hours; a mobile phone should drop to Orange’s 2G network for the period (although watch out, mobile data will be less reliable, and much slower), whereas Mobile Broadband users will not be able to connect at all during the outage.

Also from that page, you can enter your postcode (or town name) and it will tell you about any planned outages in your area; for the area around my home, for example, it tells me they performed some work last week, and have more planned for today, which might result in an outage for me; now, if they improve my home 3UK network signal, that’s no bad thing as far as I’m concerned, and well worthy of a few hours of no signal.

These upgrades are all part of 3UK’s plans to build their “Monster Network”, which I first covered briefly when I met with 3UK last month, and they plan to have all these major outages completed by the Summer of 2010 when their much improved network should be fully online.  Having seen their planned coverage map at the end of these works, we should all see a lot less areas of no 3G coverage, and improved capacity in key areas too.

Along with a select few, I was privileged to be invited to the UK launch of the new LG Black Label phone, the LG Chocolate BL40, which has taken the key Black Label features, and combined them with the S-Class UI used on the LG Arena and LG Crystal and put them into a new take on a traditional phone form factor.

The phone looks big in pictures, but it still fits into a shirt or trouser pocket.  With the tempered glass screen (as featured on the previous LG Black Label, the LG Secret), the glass is safe from scratches from keys (although whether the back is as safe isn’t as clear until I get more time with the phone).  That screen is one of the key selling points of the phone; it allows full cinematic 21:9 playback on the 4″ touchscreen, and I have to say video playback looked very impressive, even in the various lighting conditions of the London Design Museum last night.

LG have also realised this screen has great potential in other apps; and therefore within the Messaging, Scheduler and Contact apps the phone offers a split screen layout when used horizontally; in Messaging, it will show the list of SMSes on the left, and then the contents of the selected SMS on the right.  This use of the screen is very impressive, and I should also point out that they have used the additional screen space to create a more usable QWERTY on screen keyboard than previous models.  Whilst I am comparing it to previous models, the menu scrolling, the transition from portrait to landscape, and generally moving around the menus is vastly improved compared to previous phones, with no noticeable lag at all; also, when you are selecting which of the 4 homescreens to use, the thumbnail images of the homescreens actually reflect the current content of those screen, instead of a generic image; again, a little improvement in the UI that makes for a better overall experience.

The phone appears to come with about 1.5Gb of internal memory (enough for a couple of DivX optimsed movies), and should support microSD cards upto 32GB.  Finally LG has listened and separated out the USB connector (now microUSB for charging, as with the LG Crystal) and the headphone socket, and have adopted the standard 3.5mm headphone jack too.  I heard rumours of a possibility of the UK production phones shipping with a named brand set of headphones too, although this could not be confirmed, so I won’t name the brand at this stage.

I noticed little improvements throughout the whole phone; geotagging is there in the Photo application, although more impressive is the panoramic mode; once you have taken the first picture, you start scrolling (left, right, up or down) and the camera shows you where the next picture should be taken which a nice red box; no need to manually try to align the picture to get the right amount of join.  The photo app seems to support 12 pictures using the 5 megapixel camera, and that should just allow a full 360 degree picture.

Although a little bit of a noisy environment limiting testing, the phone will ship with DivX and Dolby Mobile support (as featured on a number of recent high end LG phones), giving a good rich sound to support that widescreen.  There’s an FM transmitter in there too, allowing easy use of the phone as a media player in the car.

Web browsing was acceptable, and again in landscape mode the phone has been designed to not require scrolling left to right (only vertically), which worked well on a few sample websites; also impressive was the way mobile optimised websites were zoomed in to take the best advantage of the screen, instead of just leaving small text on the left and a big white space on the right, and compared to previous phones, this zooming was smooth and fast.

In terms of other apps, a small suite of Google apps is included, which includes Google Maps (with GPS support), although still missing Latitude support.

This is a designer phone, and in my opinion, LG are getting their designs just right at the moment; sleek and stylish devices, but putting the right features into the device to allow all to use them (and the Internet) to the full.  Whether everyone will like the form factor I don’t know, but I suspect this will be a big seller for LG in the coming months.

As one of the first to be able to handle the phone and try it out, I’d like to thank the LG Blog for letting me into the launch event, and hopefully in the next few weeks, I’ll get longer to review the phone in more depth.  I believe the phone should start selling during September (maybe early October), and UK Gadgeteer will provide updates on networks and prices when it does become available.

We first covered the Vodafone Access Gateway here, basically this femtocell allows you to connect selected Vodafone UK phones to it via 3G and it will transmit back to Vodafone using your Home Broadband connection (minimum 1Mbps required), allowing you to provide yourself with decent 3G coverage at home (or work) if the coverage provided by Vodafone is not as good as you would like.

Well, Andrew Grill over at London Calling decided to buy one the week of release to provide a better Vodafone signal in his basement flat, and he has published his review here.  Although it shows a few teething troubles with the stores, he reports that it works “as advertised and the calls made on it seem clear”.

Google have updated their Google Maps software.  Interestingly, instead of wrapping it up into a new firmware bundle (which limits distribution whilst the various network operators have their say in when and even whether the firmware is sent out), they have released their Maps update via the Android Market (just search for “Google Maps”).

Also, a key point for UK users is that Google have ensured this version has working Google Latitude support; Google claimed when they released Latitude support, but it wasn’t available in the UK, that it was due to regulatory reasons covering all UK networks.  Of course, this “excuse” lost weight when Vodafone released the HTC Magic with full Latitude support

So, now, whatever the reason was, Latitude is available to T-Mobile G1 users.  However, this update brings with it a number of other features too…

• You can now search using your Voice, and unlike some other platforms, Google have included support for US English, UK English and Australian English in this version.
• They have added “Transit” (aka public transport) and walking directions; for the UK, the public transport information is limited to Traveline South East, Traveline Midlands and London (which seems to cover most of the London Underground and selected overground services; it may also include some bus and coach information).  250 Cities are covered (such as New York and San Fransisco, so it will be useful when travelling if it doesn’t yet cover your area in the UK).  As with many other services, by selecting walking, it allows the navigation to ‘ignore’ one-way streets, providing sensible routes which would not be available to a vehicle.
• As well as enabling Latitude for the UK, it also fixes problems with the application periodically stopping to update Latitude in the background.
• There’s a new experimental feature called “Updates” which allows you to notify your friends of your current status; “Start Latitude and click the “Updates” tab to shout out updates at friends when they’re at interesting locations, start a conversation when you’re at your favorite restaurant, or just add more details to your Latitude location for your friends to see. Your friends will also need to download this new version of Google Maps for Android in order to use this experimental Updates feature — they will not get your messages otherwise.”
• Finally, if you are wondering where Street View has gone; “You can now check out Street View directly from any search result where imagery is available. You can also long-press any point on the map, in map view or satellite view, and you’ll see a Street View thumbnail wherever imagery is available.”

Once Google can roll out the “Updates” service across all mobile platforms, this may prove quite a popular function, but until then, we suspect it’s not going to get used much, however, it’s good to see Google still adding new functions, and nice to see them decoupling themselves from the network operators grasp.

In other news, we were made aware of SIM Checker a few days ago; this application can automatically SMS or email you whenever the SIM card is changed in your Android phone.  This means, if your phone is stolen, you will get notified of the new phone number, but also it will provide you information on the current location of the phone.  It actually provides (if these functions are left enabled on the device) 3 different location results; cell ID based location information, GPS based location information and Wi-Fi positioning location information.  This seems one of those handy utilities to install and forget about, and then should the worst happen, be grateful you spent those few minutes installing it.  We’d like to see it extended though; things like sending the location information once every 24 hours once the SIM is changed (until disabled) or the ability to be requested to provide the current location via an incoming SMS / email would be handy (if only to handle the “argh, I can’t find my phone, where did I leave it?” type scenarios).

Nokia Beta Labs have updated their Friend View client so that it now includes alerts for when you become geographically close to one of your friends. If you leave Friend View running in the background (in either Normal or Active mode) it will alert you when you are close by a friend, and you can even adjust how close someone needs to be to be within your “meeting zone”.  Personally, I’d like to see even more control; for example in a large city such as London you want the meeting zone quite small, but out of the city, you may want a larger meeting zone (the same applies to other services like Brightkite whereby you can easily be swamped by information in cities, but out in the country you can be lukcy to see 1 or 2 people nearby using the same search criteria).

This is starting to show some good extra functionality compared to other services such as Google Latitude, although we would still like to see better integration (the various Nokia apps sharing contact information).

Of course, this app still does not appear to work with 3UK, so Nokia and 3UK should work together to fix this…

As always, Nokia Friend View can be accessed here.

Google Maps now has a new option in London; Transit.  This adds details of the various underground lines to the map.  Although it uses a straight line between stations, it does at least pinpoint the stations quite accurately.  Google Transit plans to offer full scheduling information in time as well, but right now they have at least launched the visual overlay of the data on their map.

This is available now for all of the following cities: Belo Horizonte, Berlin, Bordeaux, Brasilia, Cairo, Capetown, Caracas, Chicago, Copenhagen, Dallas, Dortmund, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Ekaterinburg, Essen, Frankfurt, Genoa, Guadalajara, Hamburg, Helsinki, Johannesburg, Kazan, Köln, Lille, Lisbon, London, Lyon, Madrid, Marseille, Medellin, Mexico City, Melbourne, Monterrey, Montreal, Munich, Naples, Nizhniy Novgorod, Oslo, Paris, Perth, Portland, Porto, Porto Alegre, Prague, Pretoria, Recife, Rennes, Rio de Janeiro, Samara, San Francisco, Santiago, Sao Paulo, Seattle, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Tunis, Vienna, Warsaw.

3 are heavily promoting the new SkypePhone S2. As such, today, Thursday and Friday this week (10th, 11th, and 12th September) 3UK will be in Soho, Leicester and Golden squares respectively (ie Soho Square today, Leicester Square tomorrow, Golden Square Friday) to allow people to get hands on with the phone.  They will be around 10am to 4pm each day.

There will be bean bags to relax in, drinks, and inflatable musical chairs. If you are in the area, head along and see the phone for yourself.

In other 3 news, 3 UK are slowly running out of stock of some of their USB Modems and SkypePhones (actually the Black twin pack). It appears that as most people are now buying the Stick version of their USB Modem and the new SkypePhone S2 these shouldn’t be big losses. Even better, 3 UK have stated they will be offering a twin pack offer on the new SkypePhone S2 at some point soon.

Thanks to Sam at 3mobilebuzz for the advance notice of these London events.

If you are a semi-regular visitor to London, and you’ve ever been fined for forgetting to pay the London Congestion Charge, then the KenBuster may be for you!  It’s a GPS based device, and whenever you go inside the congestion charging zone, it notifies back to the KenBuster HQ, who arrange to make the payment for you automatically; no more forgetting to pay!

This looks a very interesting device, and it knows the charging times throughout the day, so won’t automatically charge you unless the rules require payment.  Obviously, you have to provide the company with your car and credit card details to allow them to pay on your behalf.  Whenever a payment is made for you, you receive an SMS and an email confirming the payment has been made, and they provide a “secure website” for you to see the payments they have made for you.  It also sends a daily SMS, which will help alert you if for some reason the device has failed to register you entering the zone (or of course, you simply left it at home).

The device costs £200 with no monthly ongoing costs (alternatively, you can buy it for £50, and pay £8 per month with a minimum 12 month contract).  Finally, for those who forget, but don’t want the automatic payment system, you can simply pay them £8 per month, and they will send you a daily SMS reminder, and if you have been in the zone, you can reply to the SMS, and they will then make a payment for you.

A nice device, integrating technology (GPS, and “communication provided by Orange”) with a real problem, it only takes a few fines for this device to pay for itself, and the additional lack of having to deal with the payment daily may make it worthwhile to others too.  With the fine currently at £120, and 5,000 people being fined daily, there appears to be a big market for this device!  The only question remains: will they remain the device to be the BorisBuster…? [The answer is no; "The Congestion Charge was Ken's idea and will be his legacy."]

Thanks to Pocket GPS World who alerted us to the device in the first place.

Vodafone are rolling out HSDPA to more cities. After covering London last year, they are in the process of extending this to also cover Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and Reading. In these areas, the theoretical maximum speeds are 7.2mbps download and 1.8mbps upload. Although, of course, 3 recently challenged mobile network operators to concentrate of actual performance, and not headline rates.

Londonist has added a map which shows the free wifi spots in London. Ewan at SMS Text News thinks it’s not complete, and missing some hotspots, but if you are visiting London, you may want to check to see if there is any free wireless in the area you are going to be in.

Ofcom have announced that we should have at least 4 HD (Hi-Def) channels broadcasting on Freeview in time for the 2012 London Olympics. Some of these channels could come online as early as 2009, in the areas where analogue TV has been turned off. The BBC will get one of the channels, and the other three will be auctioned off.

Dopplr, the traveller’s social networking site, has reported that Heathrow has changed it’s baggage restrictions. They have lifted the one bag carry on restriction, which means you can now take a bag and a laptop bag onboard as hand luggage. Also, you no longer need to remove the computer from the bag as a matter of course, as they have rolled out improved scanners. Given all the bad press around the opening of Terminal 5, it’s nice to see some good news for Heathrow.

For those in or near London, the Oyster scheme is being expanded further. As well as using the contactless smartcard to pay for your travel, the scheme has already been adopted by a number of newsagents, allowing you to buy low value items on the same card. Now, Nokia, O2, and Transport for London are planning to release a mobile phone with a built in Oyster smartcard chip, allowing the device itself to act similar to an actual Oyster card. The difference will be that the purchase amount will then be added to the user’s mobile phone bill.

Although this is a new development for the UK, The Guardian report that 50% of phones in Japan are already equipped with this sort of technology.

The trials of this device (a Nokia 6131) were announced this morning, with the trials starting today for the 500 lucky travellers.  These travellers are getting the new phone with credit on their mobile phone account, credit on their new Oyster chip in the mobile phone, and some credit from Barclaycard, who are also partners in the trial.  The trials run for 6 months, so will finish at the end of May 2008.

Thanks to The Guardian (and others), and especially Ken at UK Mobile Report, who attended the launch event this morning.  Also, thanks to Nokia.
