Nokia Announces Nokia Chat

Nokia has announced Nokia Chat, an application that uses the open Jabber standard for IM. In other words, Google Talk will work for now. The interesting part is that the application uses your GPS location and allows you to share that with your friends, who in turn can chat you up.

Scenrio: You're in town for lunch, see one of your friends close by, you chat him up, you two join each other for lunch without prior arrangements. Nice.

Side note: I just can't imagine going through loops explaining to all my friends how it works, why it works, how they should install, etc.. etc... For now, it's more of a tech demo for me.
