Surpass TV Shipments 2008 Multimedia Mobile Shipments Phone in
According to the MultiMedia Intelligence report, over 300 million units of multimedia feature rich mobile phones will be shipped during 2008 — which means outnumbering global shipments of TV sets. “Multimedia phones have at least 1 megapixal image capture, MP3 audio, video Playback, Java, USB, Bluetooth, 16-bit screen color, QVGA resolution, WAP and MMS.  Revenue from these handsets will be over US$76 billion.” If we are playing with numbers, and thinking what is the amount of Flash Lite enabled out of those 300 million devices, given that Nokia’s market share is about 40% now (in smartphones even higher) and probably all high-end Nokia devices have Flash Lite pre-installed, that would indicate at least 120 million Flash Lite enabled devices to the market during 2008. Given that there are already well over 300 million devices with Flash Lite capability, and for example Sony Ericsson is shipping products with pre-installed Flash Lite, during next year we might see amount of Flash Lite devices breaking the barrier of 500 million shipped devices.

Few in Hours Possible Highly a Nokia Nseries Launch N82
A lot of convincing leaks, rumors, and speculations lead to the Nokia N82 phone, but we won’t know for sure until that countdown reaches zero. Dinner with Nseries in Helsinki. Teo from Symbian-Freak provided hands-on review and video of the Nokia N82 earlier this week. Stefan from Intomobile, which is currently next door complaining about the slow hotel internet connection, managed to download the leaked official photos of the Nokia N82 into his Flickr account today. I need a better picture to put up. It’s almost too sure that the launch will be the Nokia N82. My first and most important question is: Will this phone come out with a US 3G variant like the Nokia N95-3? —Related Articles at the Nokia blog:I’m Going To Finland For An Nseries Launch Next Week!Nokia N82Exclusive Video: Nokia N82 Product Manager Q&A SessionNokia Go Play Virtual Event ItineraryPreview: Nokia N82 Hands On Impressions by Symbian-FreakThe iPhone Ads are Incredible and Makes Me Want to Buy It A hacker from Mobile-Review dug into the flash code a few days ago and found the launch countdown is for the Nokia N82. In a few hours, I’ll be heading to the Nokia House headquarters with Jay from Nseries Mobile, Devin from The Nokia Guide, Jeremiah from Nokia Users, and Stefan from Into Mobile to participate in the virtual launch as well as have the opportunity to ask questions about the phone being launched. Devin, which is known for his long detailed reviews, have posted what went on the night before the Nseries launch here in Helsinki with a few pictures. I’m preparing a list of questions to ask the product managers, so let me know if there’s anything you might want to add. Reporting from Helsinki, Finland, I suggest you get ready for the Nseries launch available for everyone to watch at the Nokia Nseries True Stories webpage.
