Cellphone NewsNokia Offers TV, Wi-Fi on PhonesNov. 3, 2005 The N80 features Wi-Fi connectivity for fast Internet browsing, as well as new technology that allows it to be used as a remote control for wireless swapping of content between compatible computers, audio equipment and TVs. Nokia Corp., the world's top mobile phone maker, launched three new multimedia handsets Wednesday that let users watch TV, play music and swap content between electronic devices at home. The new phones, including Nokia's first consumer-oriented handset with Wi-Fi wireless Internet connectivity, are the latest products in Nokia's push to make advanced handsets that converge mobile phone, broadcasting and Internet technologies. "We expect the market for convergence devices to double to 100 million units in 2006," Chief Executive Jorma Ollila said. The new handsets were unveiled at a conference in Barcelona, Spain. They are expected to be available in stores in the first half of next year with prices ranging from $480 to $720. The N80 features Wi-Fi connectivity for fast Internet browsing, as well as new technology that allows it to be used as a remote control for wireless swapping of content between compatible computers, audio equipment and TVs. The phone also is built to let calls be routed over Wi-Fi as an inexpensive alternative to traditional cellular networks. But that feature won't be available until next year, when Nokia expects to partner with a provider of software for Internet calls, Nokia spokesman Kari Tuutti said. |
