Nokia’s Medeo Portal- A Funfest of Entertainment
Nokia has just launched Medeo- an ad supported entertainment portal that hopes to keep Nokia users entertained and happy. Nokia users can access Medeo at www.nokia.mobi. Medeo will feature “everything from red carpet news, interviews with your favorite TV and movie stars, [to] film trailers, fashion and music.” The best part of all of this? Medeo is absolutely free for its users; it’s paid for by ads. And good news: Medo is available immediately for all Nokia Nseries and Eseries devices. There’s not much content up yet on the Medeo site, but Nokia will surely increase the amount of offerings over time.
