Nokia Unveils 4GB Music Phone
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 03:00 PM
"iPod Mini, meet the Nokia N91. At a special event in Amsterdam Wednesday, Nokia rolled out a new line of multimedia mobile phones that bring together the latest technology with sleek styling. In particular, the N91 packs in a 4GB micro hard drive, USB 2.0, 3G network connectivity and stereo headphone jack. Consumers more interested in photos than music can opt for the Nokia N90, which sports a 2-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens with VHS video capture support. The flip phone includes a "multi-hinge twist-and-shoot design" and integrated flash."
The gauntlet has officially been thrown down - we all knew this was coming, but the fight is now on between cell phones and 1.8" hard drive-based audio players such as the iPod Mini and the Creative Zen Micro. It's too early to know details about battery life and weight, but with the addition of a 2 MP camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and VHS video capture (usually 320 x 240 resolution), this could prove to be a very interesting phone indeed. I have a Creative Zen Micro, and I take it with me when traveling, but if my phone could perform the same tasks, would I leave the Zen behind? Perhaps - what about you?
