Everyone knows that email is the tool of choice for communicating with grown-ups. (In fact, several teens have told me that GMail stands for “geezer mail.”) So how are the younger (and hipper) technoratti connecting? Well, sure there’s SMS texting, but for a broader hub, adults think Facebook and Twitter are the popular choices. And as such, they’re joining up in droves which of course means that they are so over.

All of you are aware that in the month of September 2009, there is Nokia World Event. Nokia fans and many mobile fans out there always look for this event. Last year Nokia’s first N Series touch screen handset the N97 was launched at this event. This year’s Nokia World might also turn out to be interesting as, three Nokia touch screen phones will be launched by Nokia at this event, One of them is supposedly the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. With this three phones, Nokia is planning to get cheap touch screen handsets to everyday mobile users. High price factor has always been there for touch screen phones, but with these three phones launching, not many would say that, touch screen phones are costly (I am not talking about the Chinese handsets). The Nokia 5530 will be based on Symbian S60 Touch OS with a 2.9 inch touch screen, 150MB internal memory, 3.5mm standard headphone jack, WLAN feature, Bluetooth, FM Radio and mircoSD card support. Surprisingly, the Nokia 5530 won’t behaving GPS and 3G support, I guess that takes care of the low cost. So all the three touch screen handsets will have low price as the main feature. Also, Nokia will be coming up with a new Linux based tablet this year, named as the Nokia Sparrow. Sparrow is a more advanced form of Linux which will be used in the upcoming Nokia tablets and is based on Maemo, which was also used in Nokia’s previous tablets like the N800 and N810.
