The Dark Knight has created ripples around the world mainly because of two things. Firstly, the movie is a big hit with superb performance from the Joker (Late Heath Ledger) and the other thing is that, the movie showed Nokia’s latest touch screen device in the making, the Tube being used by Batman and his close allies. The mobile world jumped in excitement when they saw the Tube in the Batman movie. Even I was excited to see that, but wait a second, do you really think that, the phone was the Nokia Tube?? The answer is no, it was not, Crunchgear reports that, Nokia has officially confirmed that the Nokia device that was used by Batman in The Dark Knight was specially developed by Nokia exclusively for that movie as, they wanted Batman to use a phone that is high end, pretty much like his other devices. Nokia also said that it’s not a commercial phone as of now. Who knows if Nokia is telling the truth or not, but I still feel that it was a Nokia Tube or you can say that when Nokia Tube comes out this year it will be like the phone shown in the movie.
Also, in one of its earnings call, which has been documented by mocoNews, Nokia’s EVP of Devices Kai Oistamo said, “We are fully committed to bringing out a complete portfolio of touch input devices to the mass market from the high-end to the low-end. We aim to appeal to the broadest part of the market, and leverage our scale in platforms, manufacturing and distribution. Our first touch device will be aimed at the volume part of the market. It’s competitively spec’d, considering the price point, and it’s scheduled to be out in the second half. Our platform approach to the software will allow us to roll out touch across the entire range from top to bottom, it’s just a matter of Nokia figuring out what features and what specs we want to include, such as GPS, Wi-Fi and QWERTY keypads.”
So the Nokia Tube including other Nokia touch screen devices are ready to hit the market anytime now, watch out Apple, here comes the Tube. By the way did, I tell you that, the 3G iPhone has become so popular that, it is taking the shelf space of Nokia and Samsung in many European and the US market. Will Tube be the cure to the 3G iPhone madness, only time will tell.
