Nokia Maps 2.0 Upgraded to Version Build 3204
Go download the latest build version 3204 of Nokia Maps 2.0 at maps.nokia.com. There were no changelogs, announcements, or autoupdate notifications so I actually found this version by accident after reinstalling apps for the Nokia N95 8GB. The previous version I had was build 2602. Nokia should really try to put update notifications on Nokia Maps for us.

Rumor: Nokia Looking To Port Ngage Games To Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network
Aki Jarvilehto from Nokia told a panel at Develop Mobile 2008 conference that they are looking to expand their Ngage games into other platforms. He said they are looking into “concepts where we use the same assets for Xbox Live Arcade or PlayStation Online.” This is interesting because it could mean that I can play a game on my phone, save my stats, then continue playing on the Xbox when I get home.
