@ 09:31 - Thursday 3rd September

Facebook Connect for Mobile Web is launching today. Docs and details on developers.facebook.com and facebook.com/mobile/ #nw09
@ 09:11 - Thursday 3rd September

Distribution through friends is especially important. As this is very powerful. 'What we did for photos, we will do for mobile apps'. #nw09

@ 08:50 - Thursday 3rd September

Importance also of relevance. The network is important. Has to be usable in the real world. Places where you can load / withdraw money #nw09
@ 08:48 - Thursday 3rd September

Nit just the ubnaked either... Also the under banked - those who are under served by their bank. And yes banked too (mobile) #nw09
@ 08:40 - Thursday 3rd September

Traditional banking yes... but opportunity on mobile because more mobiles than bank accts. Nokia best partner to reach most consumers. #nw09
@ 08:36 - Thursday 3rd September

Mobile Payment will have USD 2 50 billion transaction volume by 2012. Rafe says - that really is guess work. Gives idea of potential. #nw09
@ 08:34 - Thursday 3rd September

Mobile Payment services - Nokia Money. Important thing is that it open. Not limited to one bank or operators. Need network effect. #nw09
@ 08:32 - Thursday 3rd September

Some demo videos of Ovi Mail, Life Tools and Tej (online order management). Plus quick mention for Point and Find (developed world) #nw09

@ 08:11 - Thursday 3rd September

Ovi SDK Runs on web technologies (WRT). HTML, Javascript, CSS. Faster and richer experience through UI templates too. #nw09
@ 08:09 - Thursday 3rd September

Starting with Maps (because this is what we were asked for first), but this will spread to other Ovi services. Find them in Ovi SDK #nw09
@ 08:05 - Thursday 3rd September

Ovi Maps Player API (like Google Maps API with Nokia DNA), Ovi Navigation Player API (add route and directions for drive walk to app) #nw09
@ 08:03 - Thursday 3rd September

New Ovi APIs and SDK will simplify development. Runs on Web, Symbian and maemo. #nw09
@ 08:02 - Thursday 3rd September

Ovi Store is about letting consumers choose. Lets them customise their solution (solution device + service in Nokia language). #nw09
@ 08:00 - Thursday 3rd September

Nokia World Day 2 getting under way. Mark Selby introduces. Talks about the note wall (people can leave feedback with stickies). #nw09
@ 07:08 - Thursday 3rd September

Maemo - taking a riskier approach, allows Nokia try new things more easily. (Compared to more 'structured. Symbian).
@ 13:53 - Wednesday 2nd September

Just to note I meant Gnome not KDE in previous update. Sorry about that.
@ 13:49 - Wednesday 2nd September

Maemo 5 to 6 is not a good story for developers. KDE to Qt. Wonder how much this will stunt developer ecosystem. #nw09
@ 13:41 - Wednesday 2nd September

Lots of interesting conversations going on at Nokia World. Floor has more dynamic feel than previous years. Helped by lots of news #nw09
@ 13:28 - Wednesday 2nd September

In addition to expected Booklet ships with headset and phone charger (USB to 2mm). #nw09

New Ovi services of Social Messaging, Maps and Lifecasting widget too. #nw09
@ 10:00 - Wednesday 2nd September

Had very quick look at new device between interviews. Look promising. N900 build quality great. X6 nice refinement of the touch music #nw09
@ 09:59 - Wednesday 2nd September

And that's it for the main keynotes. Mark Selby goes on stage to introduce rest m off for some interviews now. Live updates throughout the day. #nw09
@ 08:15 - Wednesday 2nd September

Anssi 'big ups' the N900 (my wording). Talking features. New area. Has everything. Nokia is on the offensive. We will move mobile. #nw09
@ 08:12 - Wednesday 2nd September

Maemo is platform for next generation of computers. #nw09 (note emphasis on computer). 5 gens to create... so one more to go. Maemo 6 #nw09
@ 08:10 - Wednesday 2nd September

Platforms: S60 most popular smartphone platform. Will continue to grow. Also need to reach out further. Maemo. #nw09
@ 08:09 - Wednesday 2nd September

Booklet 3G is a consumer demand created device. People have asked Nokia to create it. Priced at 575 Euros #nw09
@ 08:07 - Wednesday 2nd September

X6 is a touchscreen S60 5.0. Priced at 450 Euro. That Comes with Music. X6 looks thinner and stylish than 5800. better materials? #nw09
@ 08:05 - Wednesday 2nd September

5800 CwM - user love service, but said would like more memory and diff. design. And we have the Nokia X6. #nw09 Only available with CwM
@ 08:02 - Wednesday 2nd September

AV - Music is a v. important area. Stay legal - top 100 albums - 934 eur in itunes, comes with music - all included in device price #nw09
@ 08:01 - Wednesday 2nd September

That price seems on the high side. Subsidies will be critical for this evice. #nw09
@ 07:57 - Wednesday 2nd September

N97 mini price is 450 Euro. But with subsidies this will drop to 0 in many markets. #nw09
@ 07:56 - Wednesday 2nd September

On Facebook message has Nokia Maps integrated link. See on map where friends are. Where are they sharing. Rich presence with facebook #nw09
@ 07:55 - Wednesday 2nd September

Life casting with N97 Mini... Choose location to share, add photo or status. Publish to Facebook. Total integration. #nw09
@ 07:54 - Wednesday 2nd September

The N97 Mini. Widening the reach of the N97. SoLo is highlighted as connecting you to world. New look Nokia Maps. Map becomes dynamic #nw09
@ 07:50 - Wednesday 2nd September

People wanted more memory, kinetic browsing, OTA updates with prompts. All on N97 and more to come v2 software in Oct. #nw09
@ 07:46 - Wednesday 2nd September

2 million N97s have been sold. But martphones are not just for the elite... But we are humble in face of feedback. #nw09
@ 07:45 - Wednesday 2nd September

Smartphone space - Some say we're slipping. e're fighting back. N97 and 5800 - example of one size does not fit all. #nw09
@ 07:43 - Wednesday 2nd September

Eseries - and growth there in last year... is an example of listening results. Now teamed with MS. We will be biggest in enterprise. #nw09
@ 07:41 - Wednesday 2nd September

And now its Anssi Vanjoki on stage. Change from technology led to company to consumer led company. Or rather consumer is compass. #nw09
@ 07:39 - Wednesday 2nd September

Opportunities to prosper with Nokia are many. And there many more to come. Please join on us our journey... #nw09
@ 07:37 - Wednesday 2nd September

Change is no longer optional. Scope and global scope means we are building a new Nokia. Long way to go, but we are on the road. #nw09
