Cool new Nokia gear
I know it’s been quiet in this place far too long, but i had lots of trouble reformatting my system after getting my new combo drive. But that’s not what i wanna talk about (at least now).
Some people already wondered about nokias apparent lack of innovation, and i second their thoughts - nokia has become a pretty boring gadget brand in the last months, especially with all the cool new stuff other companies introduced.
But now they’re apparently back, and boy, that’s what i call a fabulous comeback. Few days ago nokia introduced new ultry-cool gadget-gear, offering some nice innovations. First, there’s their new umts cellphone, the nokia 7600. Oddly shaped, once again no traditional keypad, yet very interesting. It’s perhaps a bit larger than i could accept (the size and weight of my 7650 slowly gets annoying), but the shape sure is interesting. Second, they introduced several new accessories, all connected to imaging and camphones. They showed two medallions sporting a small lcd-screen to wear your snapshots around your neck or wrist and another wearable gadget called the nokia kaleidoscope 1 that allows you to share intimate pictures with others even in crowded places. Besides those ‘fashion accessories’ (i’m still not comfortable with referring to them as fashionable), they also showed two image frames with lcd screens to display your camphone pics. Interesting new stuff indeed, though i’m not quite sure if i would wear one of their medallions.
