What Will Mobile Phones Look Like in 2010?
Posted on April 8th, 2009 No comments
Last week I met with Anssi Vanjoki, executive V-P of markets at Nokia, to discuss the state of both the Finnish company and the mobile industry overall. Since Nokia has been particularly good at defining the specifications and features of phones ahead of time, I asked Vanjoki what some of the common features one should expect to see in a top-end phone in 2010 were. Here’s a quick rundown of what he told me:- A high-quality (QVGA) screen with 16:9 horizontal mode capabilities
- A high-quality camera with resolution of between 5 and 12 megapixels and the sharpness and quality of a standalone digital camera.
- Touchscreen input along with a good QWERTY keyboard. (I’m pretty sure Apple would disagree.)
- About 32-64 GB storage.
- GPS and multiple radios that allow access to voice, 3G and Wi-Fi networks.
Most of these phones will come with services integrated into them, and many phones will be “solution-specific.” As an example, Vanjoki offered the soon-to-be-released Nokia N97 and forecast that by 2013, such feature-laden phones will be commonplace. I remember the Nokia N73 and N81 phones from three years ago. Indeed, their features — 3-megapixel camera, music playback and high-speed wireless access (3G or Wi-Fi) — are commonplace today. From that perspective, Vanjoki (and by extension, Nokia) might be right, though there remain two problems on the horizon: the continuing slump in the global economy, which is preventing people from spending big dollars on their phones, and the fact that Apple, not Nokia, now sets the phone trends, thanks to its super-hit device, the iPhone.

Sony Ericsson launches outdoor speaker for mobile phones
Posted on March 19th, 2009 No commentsMobile phone users can now share their music and blast out tunes while on the move following the launch of a new outdoor wireless speaker from Sony Ericsson.
The MS500, compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled Sony Ericsson handsets as well as those from most other brands, offers music fans “a festival experience wherever you are”.
It removes the need for wires or chargers by using Bluetooth technology to connect to the handset and operating on two AA batteries, which allow for playback time of up to five hours.
Available in “trendy orange and black” or “chic white and pink”, the MS500 is also small and light enough to be carried anywhere, making it the ideal outdoor accessory for music lovers.
The Bluetooth connection allows users to turn up the volume and switch tracks via their mobile phones, with the speaker able to connect to any handset within a ten metre range.
Creator of the MS500 Leonardo Salzedo said the speaker is designed to be fun and compact, and is coated with a splash-proof shell that means consumers can take it “anywhere and everywhere”.
“No cables allow freedom of movement and a handy strap enables you to hang it from the wrist or attach it to clothing, so you have the ability to stylishly accessorise your life with music,” he added.
Sony Ericsson last month unveiled its latest music phone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The W995 Walkman features a new Media Go platform that makes it easier for users to transfer, play and organise music files on their mobile phones.
