What an evening. Loads of new news, new products, new services and stuff happening before Guy Fawkes does his stuff in November. That’s what I’m talking about. Don’t miss out though, get the full lowdown on our remix coverage right here.
Black Eyed Peas founder Will.I.Am has come all the way from the States to talk to us about what Nokia’s approach to Music means to him. Interesting insight too. The fact there are very few stores left in the USA now, and only a few left in the UK.
LONDON, England - Tero’s back on stage now, telling us about the various Music offerings on the software front. The Nokia Music Store and now Nokia Music for PC. How it manages your music, syncs your playlist and the like.
HOLLYWOOD, USA – Despite the emergence of ‘affordable’ consumer standalone high-def camcorders, many of us remain content with shooting home movies in standard definition and are even satisfied with capturing those motion-filled moments in lesser quality. And of course, much of this digital footage is shot using the camcorder capabilities built into heaps of today’s handsets. Why is is it we’re happy to document our lives this way?
LONDON, UK – I’ve escaped Espoo to visit some folks in London. But that doesn’t necessarily keep me from havering about what’s happening out there.
New York, USA – It was surely only a matter of time but music label giant Warner Music has finally followed the lead of Universal and Sony BMG by signing up to Nokia’s Comes With Music and Music Store services.
LONDON, England – We recently caught up with Giles Pocock, who takes care of Nokia’s relationships with Movies and Music Videos. His job takes him all over the world and given that it’s a truly global role, his working day begins and ends long before and after ours. Here Giles tells us a little more about what he does along with how and when he does it.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Okay, the headline might be a little obtuse, but how could we write about a Swedish Music Store and not make some reference to the supergroup that was Abba. As you’ve probably worked out, the Nokia Music Store Sweden opened its doors this week.
Yeah, that title sure has a grab. And controversy sells. So when there is an inkling of an alternate story that has more bite, journalists seem to usually go for the bite. But the alternate story can be just plain wrong, no matter how logical or compelling that story is.
LONDON, England – Judging by the coverage over the last 24 hours, it seems pretty widely recognised that Sony BMG joining the Comes With Music service is a huge boon. What’s more, the new service is not only ground breaking, but potentially industry shaping.
