Tubular bells (and whistles)
By Maggie Holland in Editorial
The web is awash with stories about Nokia’s ‘iPhone killer’ the Tube…
I’m still waiting with baited breath to get my hands on the N96 which is due later this year so I’m keen to put my touch-screen excitement about what Nokia has up its sleeves for next year to one side. But it’s proving very hard…The iPhone is a thing of splendour and, what with the SDK, is also a thing of relevance for business and consumer users alike. With the 3G version due very soon (around 60 days from now according to most media reports) and patents having been filed for a clam shell version, the future roadmap looks very rosy.But will Nokia’s Tube goodness shake things up? For now, I doubt it. Good as it looks, it’s a little late in joining a race that kicked off some time ago. Indeed, the S60 touch screen offering isn’t likely to arrive before the first quarter of next year – that’s a hell of a long time to leave users waiting in the tech world.What do you think about Nokia’s Tube? Are you under or overwhelmed and is it likely to give users a real alternative to the iPhone?
