ESPOO, Finland-Nokia Corp. released a new Bluetooth application it said would allow people to communicate and connect by essentially broadcasting information about themselves to other mobile-phone users.
Nokia’s new Sensor application allows Bluetooth phone users to create personal pages, complete with text and graphics. Other Bluetooth phone users can access the pages and then exchange messages and files.
“The Nokia Sensor application allows users to express themselves and discover new things about others nearby in a novel and simple way,” said Hannu Nieminen, Nokia’s vice president of the company’s user experience unit. “This means that the value of using mobile phones and devices is expanded to connecting with those who share the same space at the same time, acquainted or unacquainted.”
Nokia is offering the application free as a computer download and is installing it in some of its phones.
