[audio:http://mediafiles.allaboutsymbian.com/aas_podcast_20110912_247.mp3] This week’s All About Symbian podcast, with more Anna roll-out news, Microsoft apps for Belle, Nokia’s NFC plans, Essence and using smartphone sensors for sport.
Symbian Anna, the first “name” update to Symbian^3 is now in the Over the Air channels for the Nokia N8, E7, C7, C6-01. Should I update, or wait a bit and see what happens to Rafe and Steve’s phones? I’m in the nice position of having more than one, so for a while the E7 will stay on the older, and the C6-01 (the gorgeous little pocket Nokia that I love) gets to be on the shiny new firmware. There’ll be a lot of noise from the geekerati about the timescale of delivery, but will the man or woman on

@Nokia: N8 has started shipping with Symbian Anna this month. Please confirm this with the store!
Lost of lively discussion over on AAS about the Symbian Anna software update, mostly around the speed of roll-out: Stephen Elop, Nokia’s CEO, announced that the Symbian Anna software update for the Nokia N8, C7, C6-01 and E7 would start shipping in new devices in July and would be available for all existing device owners to download by the end of August. He also announced that, over the next 12 months, Nokia intends to bring 10 new Symbian based smartphones to the market.
