It was only today that I discovered Nokia Chat among the installable applications in the application manager. (Btw: Is there a way to tell which repository an application is from?)

It seems this "application" is nothing but pre-configured XMPP-settings for the ovi.com-service. As I don't have GPS at the moment: Could anyone pls. check if it at least uses location data the way its Symbian counterpart does? Being able to transmit your current location is supposed to be part of the fun with Nokia Chat (they do it in a non-standard way, though, so including this ability with the "Nokia Chat" package would be the only thing to make it different from setting up the account as a standard Jabber one).

Oh, and: Isn't this the first time that something Nokia started for Symbian phones shows up on the tablets? I know they didn't really port an application, for the phones they needed to write a full Jabber-client, here it's only settings for the existing client... Still it's very good to see at least the same icon on the two devices. Might be a sign that shows the tablets are slowly being accepted as part of the family. Finally.
