Apple says: “Jump”…Nokia asks, “How high?”
Posted on 03. Sep, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Technology
Now that Apple’s new iPhone has the world’s collective drool all over it – as well as a significant amount of other human protein-based material, Nokia has now decided to react to the fact that people actually want phones that do everything….and look cool….. and work.
Nokia’s response….is to unveil a phone that looks and works just like an iPhone – but without the chick magnet Apple device.
But that’s not all…
Nokia have also jumped onto the social networking bandwagon with a new service called Ovi – which means door in Finnish, which allows Nokia users to access music, games, maps, guides, synchronize information and network with friends. Remember N-Gage?
We have no doubt that Nokia could most probably make an iPhone a million times better than Apple, but right now it just seems like they’re in reactive ‘me too’ mode and scrambling for cover.
Surely Nokia need to innovate on another level rather than involving themselves in a street brawl with new kid Apple. It makes them look nervous and vulnerable.
