Nokia HDD Phone to Challenge iPod

Nokia NSeries Mobile Challenge iPodNokia’s, the world’s top mobile phone manufacturer, announced new 4G mobile phones with built-in hard drives that will challenge Apple and Canon.

Nokia unveiled new premium phones on April 27, 2005 that included one with an MP3 music player, the N91 (L), that it said will outsell Apple’s iPod and a camera phone, the N90, that it forecast will surpass Canon, the world’s top digital camera maker.

The new music phone is a direct shot across Apple’s bow and challenges the space comfortably dominated by Apple’s iPod. Nokia thinks that if you already carry a mobile phone, what’s the sense in schlepping around an MP3 player in addition. Unless your a fan of the BatBelt look of multiple devices across your belt, they kind of have a point. Besides, although Apple has innovated on iPod hardware design, the software is so 2001.
