Nokia opens its first design studio in India
- Underlines growing importance of India as a global design capital
- Partners with Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology
Bangalore, India - Nokia, the world leader in mobile communications, has chosen India as the location for the first in a series of satellite design studios it plans to establish in design hot spots around the world, signaling the increasing impact the country is having on the development of mobile phones. Established via a two year partnership with the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore, it will give Nokia designers and India's talented young designers the opportunity to work together on new design ideas for India and the global markets.
Alastair Curtis, Nokia's Chief Designer, said "India is a dynamic and inspiring place for designers with its diverse mix of cultures, traditions and color. The new satellite studio will help us further develop our understanding of this vibrant country and to work more closely with its extremely talented designers. Reflecting India's status as one of the hottest countries for design right now I expect our work here to influence not only our thinking on new design trends and ideas for India, but also for many other markets around the world."
The satellite studio will explore a range of design trends and themes including detailed research into color and material trends in India, mobile use of the internet in India and its implications for design, and examining innovative new features and uses for mobiles. Run by a compact, dedicated team of Nokia designers working with students at the Srishti School and established designers across India, it will also be a key destination for Nokia's global team to visit to share ideas and be inspired.
Ms. Geetha Narayanan, Founder & Director, Srishti said, "Nokia's investment reflects the growing importance of India's designers and the wealth of new talent being developed here. This studio gives the talent of tomorrow the opportunity to work with experienced Nokia designers from around the world. This exposure to world class designers in one of the fastest growing product category in the world will be a huge opportunity for the students in India".
The Bangalore satellite studio is part of Nokia's ongoing investment in design. Earlier this year the company established a new design studio for its design team at its Global headquarters in Espoo, Finland and plan to open a similar studio for its design team in London later this year. Globally, it has grown its design team with 50 new hires in the last year.
Nokia has 300 designers in its global team representing 34 different nationalities. The unique group includes designers, psychologists, researchers, anthropologists, engineers, and technology specialists, based in major cities around the world. They explore new materials, colors, and broader design trends, and collaborate with other leading designers, students, artists, and manufacturers to push the boundaries of design.

The Picasso phone
This is not some made up Chinese phone. This is the official Picasso phone. It's design is inspired by PABLO PICASSO RUIZ, the famous Spanish artist. the phone's model name is GF901 and will make it's first appearance in Taiwan. The phone comes in 3 different colors (black/red/blue) and has the shiny mirror front (even has that external screen that can't be seen when it's off). Kinda reminds me of Sony Ericsson's Z610. It also features a built in 1.3 mega pixel AF camera, stereo bluetooth, mp3/mp4 player and colorful navigation keys. There is also a checkered design around the camera and also the keypad. Perhaps the highlight is the phone will come preloaded with tons on Picasso art themed content.

O2 looks to iPhone to maintain growth
O2 expects the launch of broadband and Apple's iPhone to maintain its momentum during the second half of the year, after it outperformed the market over the past three months.
O2 refused to confirm that it has won the right to sell Apple's music-oriented handset exclusively in the UK, despite evidence appearing in source code on Carphone Warehouse's website.
Peter Erskine, chief executive of O2, said: "We're excited about this product and we certainly hope to be marketing it later in the year when it launches."
The launch of the iPhone follows the opening of the O2 Arena, a music and sports venue built around the Millennium Dome structure in London. Mr Erskine said O2 has already seen its brand awareness increase, and around 150,000 of its customers have already visited the arena.
He said the company could delay the launch of its broadband service in the UK slightly until early October as it continues to introduce its network. He dismissed concerns that the company has waited too long to launch high-speed internet, arguing that O2 has a customer base of nearly 18 million to target.
O2 is the UK's largest mobile phone operator, and grew its sales by over 10 per cent in the three months to June. The mobile phone company, which was bought by Spain's Telefonica early in 2006, also increased its margins by focusing on moving more of its pre-pay customers onto contracts. O2 added 76,000 new contract customers over the period, and also reduced the rate at which users defected to its rivals.
Mr Erskine said the company is looking to trim some jobs in the UK over the second half, although it is understood that less than 100 jobs will go. However O2 will exit the year with around 1,000 more staff than at the end of last year, after opening a new call centre in Glasgow. The move follows 700 job cuts at O2's German unit as the company continues to struggle there amid tough market conditions.

Cell phones light up operating room during blackout
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - The light from the cell phone screens allowed surgeons to complete an emergency appendix operation during a blackout in a city in central Argentina, reports said on Saturday.
Leonardo Molina, 29, was on the operating table on July 21, when the power went out in the Policlinico Juan D. Peron, the main hospital in Villa Mercedes, a small city in San Luis province.
"The generator, which should have been working correctly, didn't work," a hospital spokesman, whose name was not given, told TN television news station.
"The surgeons and anesthetists were in the dark... A family member got some cell phones together from people in the hallway and took them in to provide light," he said.
Ricardo Molina, 39, Leonardo's brother, told La Nacion newspaper that the lights were out for an hour and his brother's anesthesia was wearing off.
Hospital Director Dario Maurer told La Nacion the surgery was without light a maximum of 20 minutes.

"I'm Ready for My Close Up Mr. DeMille"
Since the introduction of sites like YouTube, it seems like everyone and their brother are shooting and creating videos on pretty much any topic that you can imagine. Just the other day I saw a video on giant robots playing foosball. Since it's obvious that a lot of people out there love to make short films, we thought it would be cool to host a film festival - a Treo-specific film festival to be exact.
Since I love filmmaking, and all things entertainment for that matter, I am the lucky one who gets to set it up. I like my films funny, so the theme we decided on is Comedy. We're hoping to get hours of hilarious 1 minute films, made specifically to be viewed on your mobile device, Treo smartphones and all. We will be screening the films on MobiTV and the top entries will be eligible to win awards and a trip to LA for the awards ceremony. For those Treo users who just want to watch, you'll get free trials of MobiTV during the lead up to the film festival and opportunities to attend the LA ceremony, which includes a swanky party and who knows maybe a celebrity or two.
We hope with your help to discover new talent and get a chance to laugh together at some potentially hilarious one-minute shorts. More details to come and in the meantime, please check out the categories, samples, how to submit and the rest of the rules, regs and such at www.treofilm.com. We can't wait to see what starts rolling in and we will share some samples as they are available.

SE's TrackID now in Java
Someone made a Java version of SE's TrackID. This means it that this can be run on any Java enabled phone. The problem is that I can't get it to work on my P990. Here are the instructions:- Record with the phones built in voice recorder (at least 10-15 seconds)
- Then run the program and browse to the recorded file (1st pic)
- Select the file and connect to the net
- The info will be processed
- Then you will be prompted to open web browser with the results (2nd pic)
The pics are from "thecoolsha" over at ipmart forums. He managed to get it to work on the P990 and tested using a 2pac song. There is a thread over at Esato discussing this program and also a link for download. There are lots of people who couldn't get this to work. This program doesn't work as good or look as good as the original but is a good alternative to people who want this function (providing it works). One annoying thing with this program is that you need to give it permission everytime it tries to access the phones files. But hey, it's free.

Sony Ericsson and Spiderman 3
Sony Ericsson has created a very nice Spiderman 3 themed minisite. There is info on the new Spiderman 3 movie that is supposed to be released on May 4. There are mobile downloads which includes screensavers, wallpapers and video clips. There is also a Spiderman game which I didn't try out yet since you need to register (later I will try the game). There are also 2 movie trailers there and a K800/Spiderman TV commercial (maybe there will a K800 speical Spiderman edition or some other Spiderman phone). I like how everything is transitioned and how the trailers are displayed. It's worth checking out...now I want to see the movie.Labels: Miscellaneous, sony ericsson
