GLOBAL – “We expect to be connected all the time, no matter where we are”. So says Kai Öistämö, head of devices at Nokia. There’s no doubt mobility is such a key part of our technological lives now, and such a rich part of Nokia’s heritage. It seems like a natural extension that the next thing we should see from Nokia is the Booklet 3G. Speaking to potential users about connectivity and mobility illicited some predictable, and in some cases scary, responses, which combined sum up pretty well the general view on connectivity and mobility.

How many platforms do we need?

GLOBAL – At last week’s Symbian Foundation event, Vodafone Director and SF member, Guido Arnone lamented that in the past his network had 17 platforms to deal with when tailoring its Live! services to fit on handsets.
