Nokia: Cell Phones' Future

Thomas Jonsson, director of communications for Nokia Networks, had this to say in a recent interview:

This (in case you missed it) is the year of music -- the cell phone as a sort of iPod, capable of downloading, saving and playing thousands of songs. 2006 will be the year of television on your mobile telephone. 2007 will be the year for games on the phone and the capability to play them against other phone users. 2008 will be the year of "my connected life," when the years-old dream of cell phones that are Internet terminals will finally become a widespread reality.

The phone as camera -- that was 2004's theme -- is well established, though big technical improvements are still being made.

Keeping in with the year's musical trend, Nokia will soon release the Nokia N91, also known as Steve Jobs' wet dream. The N91 has a 4 GB hard drive, 2MP camera, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth and GSM/GPRS/EDGE/3G.
