Nokia Bots

Nokia Bots is a collection of add-ons that autonomously learn your personal preferences, and improve user experience with new, customized features and tricks. These add-ons, or Bots, observe how the phone is being used and automatically configure and activate themselves, if customization seems relevant.

The Bots ‘live’ within a single homescreen widget, where their status, messages and suggestions are presented to you. Currently, four Bots are included:

Profile Bot

Alarm Bot

Shortcut Bot

Battery Bot

The idea is that these are "learning" bots and are designed to make your phone easier to use.

They, of course, install on C: at about 313 kb in total and are designed to replace one of the shortcut bars on the home screen.

Have only had a short play with it but my first impressions are that it's just a bit of nonsense from Nokia Beta Labs and won't be staying long on my home screen..
