Nokia Touchscreen Gesture Device In The Pipeline

[AvO]

A mere 23 months after Apple first announced the iPhone we may finally have what the industry has long needed: its biggest player to come up with a viable alternative.

Flashing this ad at a Capital Markets Day presentation in Brooklyn last week the Finnish mega-corporate said did nothing to elaborate on the tantalising shot - even not going to far as to distinguish fact from vapour.



Naturally then I tend to treat such viral marketing with a certain amount of healthy contempt but it is worth noting that Nokia is one of the few companies out there which does have its own patent for gesture based technology - so this may not be as far-fetched as it seems. Indeed if I had to make a call I'd suggest it is the rather generic hardware which is the more likely mock-up with the software probably authentic. After all if the N97 taught us anything it is that the S60 platform needs radical optimisation for touchscreen technology.

You seriously don't think that Finnish cell phone manufacturer Nokia is going to let Apple continue to nibble at its market share with the iPhone, do you?

Fight it out, guys, after all we consumers benefit when the both of you pit your brains against each other to offer the best user experience possible in exchange for our hard earned cash

Do you think Nokia is in a position to come up with something spectacular?
