Can Nokia’s “Tube” Answer the iPhone?

Print
Every mobile maker wants to bury the iPhone. A new Nokia phone with touch-screen is codenamed 'Tube' and will have Java built-in and probably support for the DVB-H mobile TV and mobile video. The device can upload photos to the web, indicating either built-in Wi-Fi or HSDPA connectivity. GPS should be included, as Nokia wants to build location technology into all smartphones.

 

Nokia hopes to significantly undercut Apple with their manufacturing economies of scale. One analyst thinks the “leak” promising an iPhone-like device may be an attempt to reduce iPhone uptake in Nokia’s home market in Europe.
