TOP THREE LINKS YOU MUST CLICK ON Java ME Michael Yuan's Java ME Blog: "The Dawn of Smartphone"
Nokia alone has sold more than 250 million smartphones
Dec. 4, 2005 03:15 AM
Michael Yuan's Java ME Blog: The Dawn of Smartphone I had the honor to have the "Father of the Nokia Series 60 UI", Christian Lindholm, write the Foreword for my new book Nokia Smartphone Hacks. Christian's invention, the Nokia navigation key user interface, is used daily by billions of people everyday. In his foreword, Christian says: I remember the Nov 23rd 2002 issue cover of The Economist where the Nokia 7650 was set as the Monolith in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which primates learned to use clubs to shape their world. This picture was perfect and the headline said it all: "Computing's new shape."  Two and half years later, Nokia alone has sold more than 250 million smartphones (both Series 40 and Series 60). It is a huge success by any standard. For the publication of my book, I thought it would be nice to have an artist friend to re-render the scene with a newer, more revolutionary smartphone, and more evolved cavemen. :) This image will be printed in the book.
"The Dawn of Smartphone", by Donald L. Smith. The Nokia N91 smartphone, featured in the picture, combines a mp3 music player, a mpeg4 video player, a 4GB harddrive (3000 songs or many hours of high quality video), as well as a 2-megapixel digital camera and camcorder. It also features a large color screen, sliding keypad, and built-in 3G / WiFi / Bluetooth / USB data connectivity. It represents the future direction of smartphones. Posted June 13, 2005
