GSMArena has published a comprehensive, yet introductory review of the recently announced 8 megapixel, 16GB S60 camera-phone Samsung i8510 INNOV8. The most interesting part should be how the mobile copes in terms of data transfer, and the quality of the camera.

One of the highlights, a small but important ignored detail is the touchpad. It seems that the new addition to Samsung phones works just like a notebook touchpad, but only for the web browser, which I will be happy with.

Other details are the 2.8″ display, although with a poor resolution, a 3.5mm audio jack, a TV-out, and plenty of shortcuts, which complete the mobile phone and place it at the world’s best spot. The only thing missing, I say, is the touchscreen, and a better resolution.

A source inside Microsoft reports that Nokia and the company are working together to integrate Zune marketplace into Nokia phones. Zune is Microsoft’s MP3 player, and the Zune marketplace is an online store where the consumers can buy music.

Nokia has launched its own online music stores dedicated to different countries, and a partnership would mean a project to fight against Apple’s possible future dominance in the mobile phone world in terms of online music stores. Apple iTunes Store, the most profitable online music store in the world has sold over 5 billion songs, which accounts for 70% worldwide online digital music sales.

A strange but totally possible rumour is the one of Nokia Movie Store. According to James Burland from Nokia Creative, the upcoming store, which if released, will charge a small monthly fee and allow you to download and stream movies at 320 x 240 anamorphic H.264 400 kbps video stream alongside a AAC stereo 96 kbps soundtrack.

The application could be called Nokia Cinema instead of Nokia Movie Store, but then again, it’s all speculation. There is no official proof or clues that lead to this, but most Nokia flagships come bundled with movies that can be played on TVs via the TV-out port. The only change we need is increased resolution, but that is coming with the next phones, such as the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
