GLOBAL – Text Art is an exclusive new mobile app for the Nokia E71. It has just become freely available for download, enabling you to type messages that automatically get generated into mind-bending art that you can share via MMS.
Part of a Nokia’s new Beautiful Connections project for the Nokia E71, the Text Art app is the brainchild of artist Marius Watz, a pioneer in a new digital medium called generative art – this fresh approach sees art automatically and organically created, brought to life by some pretty unique methods. Not a paintbrush or charcoal stick in sight.
Read on to find out how the Text Art app works, and to discover how you can create generative art desktop wallpaper, simply by talking, moving your arms or typing.

You still need a rock solid business reason (to buy one) and the right connections (to get one from the marketing stash) to land a phone here.

GLOBAL – On witnessing the unveiling of the N79 earlier today, I was immediately intrigued by perhaps its most subtly elegant talent – when you dress it in a different coloured cover it automatically changes the on-screen theme to match. Now, this mightn’t seem like moment of mobile epiphany, however this seamless marriage and morphing of tactile tailored exteriors and their corresponding digital information has ignited a spark and poses a question – could the physical customization and personalization of a handset be automatically echoed by the content, software and services that populate it?
