Nokia has updated a couple of its services, with some great apps from the Ovi Store and Nokia Beta Labs making an appearance or getting an overhaul. Ovi Maps and Own Voice gets a great update, there's a brand new fitness app from Nokia Beta Labs, and the latest Email for Nokia app. Join us after the cut to find out more...

Every week we get updates from Nokia on its latest apps and services. The latest set of updates sees an improvement to Ovi Maps, and Own Voice in particular.

Own Voice lets you record your own instructions for turn-by-turn navigation when using Ovi Maps. Sick of hearing generic voices telling you to turn left? Get your partner to record them for you, or use your own voice.

The latest update to Own Voice promises improved playback and recording, so your voice will sound better than ever before, and the update also means you'll be able to share your recordings for others to use.

If you fancy leaving the car at home and getting fit, then  the new Wellness Diary could be the perfect app. Released by Nokia Beta Labs, Wellness Diary helps you track your progress when getting fit, and there's an integrated step counter to collect data from your daily journeys.

Rounding off this week's updates is Email for Nokia, an app that does exactly what it says on the tin. Following in the footsteps of Nokia Messaging, Email for Nokia makes it easier than ever to set up email on your Nokia. With support for all the big email companies – including AOL Mail, Gmail/Googlemail, Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail and Ovi Mail – you'll have emails delivered to your Nokia within minutes.
