NOVIDADES TELEFÓNICAS
A Wired apresenta algumas das novidades da Nokia no mercado norte-americano, com destaque para um telefone-colar e um caleidoscópiuo que aramazena imagens digitais: Don't look at these products like trinkets," Reiter said. "In the scheme of things, we are looking at the future here. You don't need a gypsy to read the tea leaves."
With these new products, Nokia is building what will become a lucrative camera-phone business, Reiter said. Other industry analysts echoed him.
Camera-phone sales eclipsed traditional digital-camera purchases in the first half of this year, according to market research company Strategy Analytics. Mobile-phone manufacturers shipped 25 million camera phones globally compared to 20 million traditional cameras sold at the same time.
Market research company Zelos Group released a study two weeks ago that showed that 50 percent of about 1,300 cell-phone users wanted an integrated digital camera with their next cell-phone purchase. The request ranked first in a list of 10 possible preferred features, including walkie-talkie service and Bluetooth capability.
But for other avid mobile-phone users like Marty Cooper, chairman of ArrayComm, who invented the mobile phone in a Motorola laboratory in 1973, the future is not ready for primetime yet. Unlike the excited industry analysts, Cooper expressed disappointment at Nokia's new products. He said that the cellular networks that would power the products are not up to par to do so cheaply and quickly.
