Nokia chose Delhi, India, for Thursday’s launch of seven mobile phones for emerging markets, including two intended for shared use by families or entire villages.
Cool! Nokia launches a bunch of phones for emerging markets.
This is exciting. Seven, yes 7!, new phones for the emerging markets (you know I love emerging market stuff). And these don’t look like cheap phones, but feature-full phones and phones that fit the way folks in those regions need these phones.
Nokia knows this is big – they created a specific site to highlight all the stuff related to this launch (here).

Christian Lindholm on: The Software Transformer – A Vision for a mobile OS
Christian posted yesterday a nice essay about mobile and multi-modal interfaces (link below).
He had given me a preview of it when I saw him last week and I’ve been begging to have him post it so that I could point out the key tenets of his mobile device philosophy (see below).*
To me, ‘one-handed, in-out of pocket, mobile use’ is the key to the success of mobile devices AND apps. It’s core to the Mobile Lifestyle I’ve been harping about for a very long time.
Read the article for some thoughts on how Software Transformers can make mobile devices even more useful. I think it’s a great thought.
Link: ChristianLindholm.com: My speech at MEX, The SW Transformer A Vision for a mobile OS:
The N95 is what phones have become.
Phones and computer are inherently different.
1. A phone is used with one hand
2. A phone must fit into the pocket
3. It should be possible to use the phone while moving.
*Of course, I learned it from him, having known him for many years.

First, let me say this… if Nokia doesn’t know by now that the majority of its users change handsets every 3-6 months, then of course we are going to have a bit of a problem. I don’t think the method of locking a license into an IMEI is the best way for

[CS: I had a part in this and totally forgot to point it out.] The Nokia Beta Labs Site opened today and even though its still in Beta (hence the site name) it seems to be a place where Nokia will introduce new concepts and applications for its users.
Loïc laughs – Will you be able to stop yourself going to LeWeb3 in 2007 ?
While I am leery of the trend that the event keeps getting bigger and bigger, I think I’ll end up going, because I’ve always had fun at them (also, I’ve been fortunate to speak at all of them and by next December hope to have new stuff to speak about).
But I do like the trend of the content – getting a varied bunch of speakers, broadening of the topics, and so on.
Yeah, I’m one who can’t stop myself from going.
But, oh, do I pine for the close intimacy of the first one.

Completely forgot to blog (I just twitted it) that Sam and myself kissed each other (so to say) in London last week and a few readers (Ivan, Conor, Amanda) of Sam’s blog say they “won’t be able to stop themselves from going”.
