Nokia Go Play Launch

Review of Nokia Go Play Launch

This was a desperately underwhelming event, I was looking forward to a new gaming device that would take on Nintendo, Apple and Sony Ericcson at the same time. All I got was men in buttoned-up suits and Finnish accents talking about "funky" and ""rock your world". They couldn't even get the name of The Ministry of Sound right.

They need an evangelist. Call him the CEO, the Chief Evangelical Officer. Someone who can control a crowd like Steve Jobs. Someone passionate, someone who understands the web (which I don't think these guys do).

Hell I'll do it for them and I won't need to hold paper notes whilst speaking on stage.

So basically the announcements were:

  • An 8GB N95
  • Some music phone with a 3.5mm jack (wow!)
  • Some Ovi stuff coming whenever
  • Touch sensitive screens on Series 60 in 2008
  • A new UI coming whenever
They need to do wayyyyyyy better than that.

Why not jam a GSM chipset into the N800? I know a LOT of people who would buy that.
