International multi platform video game software developer, Ubisoft seems to be working on revolutionizing  the mobile gaming industry with its new technology that will allow players or users to save their game related data on the cloud storage. The benefit of having cloud based storage is that you can play the same game from any other device and that too from the same level from where you left playing on another device. Chris also confirmed that Ubisoft's forthcoming game Ghost Recon Commander will utilize cloud storage, allowing you to access the game on multiple platforms including Facebook, mobile and tablet devices.

Game's generally create smaller user data files that are saved on the devices which allows the devices to remember what stage or level the user was playing last time. If that same data is made available online, the games can be played from any platform. So this technology makes ultimate sense for users having multiple devices that too with different operating systems as well. So just imagine yourself playing a Boss Fight on your Android phone and just to do it better, you move to your tablet and continue the game from where you left. Although the plan sounds really nice the real world usage of this new technology depends on the ability of the developers and how well they implement the idea. As Ubisoft has told, it will be including the new tech in its upcoming games so it's just a matter for time before we know that.

Nokia has launched a free real-time traffic updates service for its Maps/Drive applications. Currently, the service is live only in Mumbai and Delhi, but Nokia is promising more cities to benefit from the service in the near future.

The Fins say they've covered as much as 1,500km of the road system across the two cities and have shared a bit about the way their real-time traffic updates service works. Interestingly enough, if you own a Nokia running Symbian or Windows Phone and use the Maps app, you are the backbone of the service. That's because Nokia takes the data from its users who use location services on their Nokia phones and use them as "probes", as is the popular term in the navigation industry. Using that information, Nokia is able to determine if the traffic is busy or light and assign it a color from red to green accordingly.
