The geniuses at Nokia have finally found a way to beat the iphone - just copy the iphone ....
Apparently, they are very proud of it. Says , Anssi Vanjoki (Nokia's Executive VP & General Manager of Multimedia) - "If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride."
The device was unveiled at the GoPlay event on Aug 29 and is due next year.
That other handset cos would somehow come up with iphone clones was something I'd always expected to happen. The jolt that the iphone and the amazing hype around it has given to the industry will sooner or later result in ground breaking innovations. A few outright rip-offs are inevitable, and are probably part of the process.
Seems Samsung is not far behind . Take a look at the Croix.
btw, Picasso once said, "Bad artists copy. Great artists steal". Maybe the Nokia nerds really are brilliant.

i saw the update on engadget or something and nokia really seemed to be very happy copying the iphone.
i was wondering if we could switch the shoes that apple and nokia are in right now, how different the cell phones would be.
imagine what would have happened if apple were producing phones when nokia started pushing out thier shi*&y phones (not all of thier phones are bad. i love my n70) from thier production facilities.
