Today’s Nokia Go:Play press event laid out a road-map that Nokia hope to travel over the next 12-18 months, including a number of new smartphones for Q4 2007 and Q1 2008; software services with an updated and more rounded Mapping service; the re-introduction of the N-Gage as a platform for gaming over a number of handsets; and the announcement of Nokia’s own music store, offering both PC and Smartphone based downloads.
Blognation will be looking at these over the next few days, what this means to Nokia; and the wider smartphone market; but to start us off I caught to Robert Sears about these new facets to Nokia, and the direction the Finnish company are looking to move.

A company that started as a hardware company that became a software company for $50,000,000 Alex. Ding, ding, ding…Apple.
Yes, Apple still does industrial design, but…. What makes the ipod special? Software. What makes the Intel Macs special? Software. What makes AppleTV special? Software. What makes the iPhone special? Software.
As Microsoft builds more hardware (Zune, Xbox, etc.), Apple moves toward software, so Nokia has announced it’s joining this trend. Did they have a choice? Not really.
