MobileCruch has received an invite to an event in San Francisco that will be held tomorrow. Is this just another Ovi event on the other side of the world, or a completely different subject? Maybe they’ll announce something new? We sure will know more tomorrow!

Ovi Labs has been active developing games that rely on new technologies like location and accelerometer data, and Bounce Boing Battle is no different. It’s a multiplayer game, that resembles the old Pong! game. The video itself doesn’t look that good, but at least the idea is great.
The game will be up in the Ovi Store soon, and to game it you’ll need a phone with Symbian S60 5th edition (a touch screen Nokia).
A really cool concept! Basically it’s a racing game built on a real map. It will use the GPS of your phone, and use Ovi Maps as the base for it’s map layout. With these two things combined, you get a game/map that changes everywhere you go. Check out the video and decide for yourself!
Head over to the Ovi store for a download.
Nokia Beta labs released a new version of Ovi Contacts. The UI was updated to the one seen in the picture above, biggest change being that messages from one person appears inside one bigger bubble.
