NOKIA MAKING A SPLASH

NOKIA X7 WITH ATT&T BRANDINGKIA

It would seem that AT&T is seriously considering selling a subsidized Nokia smartphone in the US. Given the company's long absence from any US carrier's smartphone section, it still feels more like a dream than an impending reality. The first press images of the Nokia X7 are legitimate, and the AT&T branding doesn't seem to be an accident either. Purportedly, the Symbian3-based phone will be hitting Ma Bell's shops as early as this month, bringing along an eight megapixel camera with dual-flash, four speaker grilles (two of which have drivers underneath) and a ClearBlack display.

Personally I think it's ugly like the redheaded step child of the smart phone industry, but it is fun to play with.

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
