Apple launched their much awaited 3G iPhone last week at the WWDC 2008. In his keynote address, Steve Jobs, compared the 3G capabilities of iPhone, with that of Nokia’s best multimedia flagship product, the Nokia N95 8GB. Steve showed how iPhone loads the same web page that is also opened in the N95, faster. Now Mr. Jobs, agreed that your 3G is fast but then why didn’t you compare the multimedia features of your iPhone 3G with that of the Nokia N95 or you were just not ready to see what happens when you compare the iPhone 3G and the Nokia N95 8GB on multimedia front.
Anyways, as of now, Nokia need not worry about the 3G iPhone toppling its position. But the way industry is moving and multi touch interfaces are popping up, Nokia is also gearing up to take the iPhone head-on. The Nokia Tube is being increasingly touted as the iPhone Killer from the Finnish giant. Live pics of Nokia Tube also surfaced some time back. As the rumors about the Tube are building up Nokia has finally confirmed that they would be launching the Nokia Tube in the Q4 of 2008. Nokia doesn’t have any phones in its portfolio that compete directly with the iPhone and can pose a threat to it. Also, Apple has made the market very much competitive by announcing two things @ the WWDC, first, $199 for 3G iPhone and 70 countries getting their 3G iPhones by the end of 2008. Nokia knows this that the market is becoming very much competitive and they are getting ready for it. They have the scale and the expertise. Also, Nokia would not have taken the N95, iPhone comparison lightly and the company is very much positive about their upcoming S60 Touch and the Nokia Tube. Nokia Tube by the way is supposed to have features, that will make the iPhone look small.
