Why I’m More Excited About The N95 Than The iPhone
No, not because I work for Nokia, but because the it’s as close to everything I need in one package as i’ve ever seen. My friend Paul has one (because he is so much better connected here than I), and the thing totally blows me away. Here’s a demo of the GPS tool that is built into the N95 (and by the way gps maps and navigation for 100 countries are free, what you pay for is additional city guides etc), anyway, ignoring the corporate video style of this it does highlights how brilliant it will be to have GPS in your phone (although I think if everyone walks around paying wrapped attention to their phone a lot of people are going to be walking into one another).
Oh, and all your photo’s from the 5MP camera (with Carl Zeiss optics) are automatically geotagged so when you add them to a photo service like flickr all the location information as to where you took the pictures is embedded. Some other really nice features are it uses a standard headphone jack, and when a call comes in you can just use the phones mic, in combination with your headphones. It also uses microSD cards so you can add 2gigs of storage very easily (it’s got about 150 megs built in).
For a less PC look at the N95 please see Paul’s video where he berates one of the commenters on his blog (myphonerocks.com) that didn’t believe he had an N95 (I guest star as the cameraman on the N80). As an additional bonus you also catch a glimpse of the iPhone we were able to get hold of though our super secret channels.
On a personal note I’m really hoping that the N95 is going to be capable to play our next generation mobile games we’re working on, you can read more at our blog at blog.n-gage.com
