LONDON, England – The United Nations wants half of the world connected
through telecommunications by 2015. That’s one hell of an ambition, but

Ok. So I am a bit loony, but I’ve been excited for a long time by the Nokia High Efficiency Charger. From what I’ve been told, normal Nokia chargers draw about 150mA power when just plugged in and not charging a device (when the charger is on standby). The High Efficiency Charger only draws 15mA when plugged in and idle (I might have to be corrected here, but I do know it’s a 1:10 ratio).

LONDON, England – Okay, not something we’ve spent a huge amount of time thinking about, but when Jan Chipchase, a specialist in user-centred design at Nokia revealed why, it actually made plenty of sense.
Jan spends his time, along with Younghee Jung, travelling the world gathering insights and research which feed and inspire the Nokia Design Studio team.

NEW YORK, USA – Unveiled last month, the Nokia Morph concept phone has ignited a fresh thread of interest in the possible applications of future phones.
Brainchild of the Nokia Research Center and Cambridge University Nanoscience Center, the Morph pursues visions of shape-shifting devices to suit specific tasks, self-cleaning materials and promotes sustainability via solar power.
