Nokia’s seems to have finally realized that it can’t just kill off a long-standing name like Symbian with a mere three-word mention (in parentheses) on its official blog. It’s now posted up a marginally more detailed statement in response to “heaps of questions” from Nokia fans about the name change, and it reads as follows:

“We are still using Symbian Belle with some audiences like developers but now we also have the flexibility of using Nokia Belle when referring to our greatest and latest Symbian software update.”

There, that should clear it up. Or maybe not. The idea of switching between different names for the same product might be considered bad branding, and the notion of developers being an “audience” is confusing too. But what more can you expect from a single sentence? In other news, the update also clarified that Nokia/Symbian Belle will be coming to the Nokia 500, along with the devices mentioned yesterday, and that it’s delay until February 2012 was due to this being a “major software update” that will “make such a big difference in the user experience.”

That data point comes on the heels of an announcement earlier Thursday that YouTube is now available in IsiZulu and Afrikaans, two languages spoken in South Africa. The site is now available in 51 languages total, with YouTube offering a localized experience including an own top-level domain and country-specific video recommendations in 35 countries around the world.

YouTube has previously said that it clocks more than three billion video views every day. This means that at least 1.8 billion of those views come from people whose primary language is not English, no matter whether they reside inside the U.S. or not.

This kind of diversity represents a huge opportunity for YouTube: Premium content services like Netflix and Hulu are subject to contractual restrictions that turn international expansions into a slow-moving process. YouTube on the other hand already has a global audience, and it has begun to monetize a significant part of it. A localized version of YouTube’s partner program is now available in 25 countries.

Each, the LG C105 Games Pop and the LG GM205 come equipped with a inbuilt FM stereo radio, assist Bluetooth and also have a inbuilt camera, but in which the GM205 includes a 2 megapixel camera, the Pop, comes with a digital camera which has a 3 Megapixel resolution. The LG GD510 Pop comes with a 3″display, although the LG GM205 includes a a lot smaller display using a dimension of just two.0″.

The LG Octane Games comes equipped with a Li-Po 1100 mAh battery, supplying approximately 450 hours of standby time, and up to eight hours of discuss time, while the LG GD510 Pop comes with a Li-Ion 900 mAh battery, offering approximately 360 hrs of standby time and approximately three hours of chat time.

Whilst overall the LG GM205 comes with much more decent hardware in location, it is impressive that LG has picked for your design of your standard mobile cellphone, over the much smoother design and style from the LG GD510 Pop in comparison to models from other makers inside the same price tag variety. However, the two phones offer almost exactly the same in performance, and choosing on which 1 to decide on, will come down to be strictly a make a difference of style.

While Google continues to work on an official Android Market for TVs, Sweden’s own People of Lava has announced the second version of the app store for its Scandinavia Android TV. With version 2.0 People of Lava is focusing on attracting developers to create apps specifically for the Android 1.5-powered TVs in order to fill its own app marketplace. Like Google, it has opened up a developer site stuffed with information for anyone interested in developing apps for the TVs, which are currently hand built in 42-, 47- and 55-inch sizes with prices starting at €2500 (,564). We wish them well, but with that high price developers may have as much trouble finding a wider audience as current Google TV partners have so far.
