Nokia Monday announced Slam, a new way to share content over Bluetooth. The
Nokia Asha 205 and
Nokia 206,
also announced on Monday, are the first Mobile Phones devices to include Nokia's exclusive Slam feature.
Slam allows consumers to share multimedia content like photos and videos with nearby friends almost instantly. Nokia says Slam works with "most" Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones without the need to pair devices, and without the recipient needing to also have Slam. Where by most Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones Nokia means Android-devices are Slam-compatible, since Nokia's website notes Slam is "currently not compatible" with iOS and Windows Phone devices.
"The latest Nokia devices give super-social consumers new ways to express their personalities through design, color and innovative new features like Slam," explains Timo Toikkanen, Executive Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "Both devices are built with the trust and quality people have come to expect from Nokia, and offer smarter Internet experiences that help save money today and tomorrow."
There are not many details of the technology available as of now other than the brief mention in Nokia's press release announcing the launch of the Asha 205 and Nokia 206 mobile phones. We'll share more information as and when it becomes available.
