Nokia is preparing its response to Apple's iPhone with a device currently codenamed 'tube'. It will support Java and I'm guessing (with Nokia's current commitment to mobile navigation and location) it will include GPS. Vice President of Forum Nokia, Tom Libretto, also provided an entertaining quip and dig at Apple... In reference to Apple having shipped 5 million to 6 million iPhones since launch, Libretto responded "We've done that since dinner on Friday." Nice!

The iPhone is cool - let’s face it. And that dent in my wallet is looking increasingly likely with navigation applications popping up all the time. Plus, it seems that location enhanced social networking is much talked about, but rarely seen! So, when I saw that our good friends Gypsii were putting their app onto the iPhone, I thought it was worth a mention. Click here to learn more about Gypsii and their social networking application.
