Microsoft smartphone sighted in Nokia with preposterous suggestion that "mobile media" does not exist yet today November 25, 2003 [General] | By anonymous 1. Just imagine: despite MP3 playback and video streaming in Microsoft smartphones, despite huge success of iPod (the fantastic MP3 player from Apple) - Nokia claims, that "mobile media doesn´t exist yet today"! Here is a picture from the slide of the presentation "Driving Consumer Media" from the Nokia´s investor meeting, slide entitled "Mobile media doesn´t exist yet today": 
... where you can see in the bottom left corner a picture of Orange SPV E200 smartphone. In the picture visible also is: iPod - the super MP3 player from Apple. The title suggests, in typically for Nokia arrogant way, that all these gadgets are nothing, are not "mobile media", that real mobile media will arrive only when Nokia will deliver their new 7700 phone (the one with touch screen, without Wi-Fi and with awkward side talking usage) to the market. What arrogance and untruth it is!!! Nokia is a corporation headquarted in Finland in Eastern Europe, corporation that is undoubtedly number one in the world wide cell phone market, but also corporation that was late with many technologies, example: GPRS - despite selling to operators GPRS networks Nokia was very late with delivering GPRS handsets! Now similar happens with multimedia... Users of Microsoft smartphones can enjoy many elements of full mutlimedia already today and Nokia´s claim is a lie! Examples: Microsoft smartphones offer full HTML browser, have built-in Windows Media player and ability to install free MPEG player. Both video streaming and audio streaming is a reality in Microsoft smartphones already now. The same is with Pocket PC phones like XDA II that offer yet more power for multimedia applications. Why Nokia is lying? There are two explanations: either the presenter - Anssi Vanjoki - is an incompetent person, or simply Nokia wants to spread false propaganda that says more or less "nothing that existed by now is good, only our new products will be real multimedia". Or maybe both explanations are true?  Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)
