Nokia N82 Launch Virtual Event - Mark Selby
Yesterday, Nokia successfully held another interactive virtual launch event, and I’d like to say it’s the company’s best to date. Early this morning, the curtain pulled back and revealed an interactive chat room, where you could view a list of videos, documents, and while getting the full dig on the N82 in explicit detail, also speak to the product managers behind the new imaging powerhouse.
After a brief N82 video spot, experience starts off with a introductory tour of the N82, lead by Nokia’s Multimedia VP, Mark Selby. Once he begins speaking about Nokia’s history in imaging, it is slowly revealed that his presentation is being filmed on the N82 itself… talk about high-profile dogfooding!
And now, enter the N82. As he puts it, “the best device for capturing, sharing, and publishing your images.”
I love love LOVE, that he dives right into the specifics and challenges of mobile photography… especially in a market where so many are counting megapixels rather than assessing image quality. I’m glad that Nokia has heard the screaming in the mobile photography community for a better optics solution for low-light situations… after all, most of my life that I’m capturing and sharing happens after 6pm.
And talk about open. This device has made it clear that the N95 will not be the only monster-featured handset, but new future devices will be keeping the momentum - not just current flagship devices. Once you capture images and video, you aren’t locked down at the mercy of your manufacturer/carrier (ahem.. iphone? One day they’ll have picture messaging), but have your GSM network, 3G, WiFi, GPS, USB, and even composite video out.
And the biggest surprise of the day… the Nokia N82 is currently shipping to stores now for immediate sale. Awesome move… after waiting almost 6 months after the annoucement for the N95, this is a welcome change.
Stay tuned for more Nokia N82 launch-specific posts, as I’ll be covering the event in a different manner than usual - a little less FYI, and a little more meat. Hope you’re hungry!
Hey Andy. Do you know how well the N82 is gonna do syncing with macs? How well does S60 os sync with macs?
Good news on that front, actually… I was going to post how well the Nokia Multimedia Trasfer beta works… stunningly well on my other N Series. I’ll be posted about this soon.

Hello
Please forgive the unsolicited email. I just read the excellent report you wrote on Mark Selby on your website and hoped someone there might be interested in a conference we’re running, called Thinking Digital — www.thinkingdigital.co.uk
Mark will be speaking at the conference alongside a rather eclectic mix of speakers, including Ray Kurzweil,The Fake Steve Jobs, Aubrey de Grey and Greg Dyke. In its simplest terms, the conference is about ideas, technology and our future.
I’m currently in the process of promoting the conference (as I’m sure you can tell at the moment!) and hoped you might give it a mention on your blog — assuming, of course, that you think it’s interesting enough to warrant one!
A sample press release has also been included at the bottom of this email.
Please drop me an email or give me a call if you’d like any further info.
Kind regards

Book now for Thinking Digital
A conference on technology, ideas & our future
21-23 May 2008 | www.thinkingdigital.co.uk
FOR IMMEDIATE USE
GREATEST MINDS IN TECHNOLOGY
WILL HEAD TO THINKING DIGITAL CONFERENCE
– Kurzweil, de Grey, ‘Fake Steve Jobs’, Multimap founder & more to speak
Some of technology’s greatest visionaries will head to North East England from around the world in May to discuss the ideas and technologies that are set to fundamentally alter the way people live, work and play.
The inaugural Thinking Digital conference will seek to answer some of the key questions facing high level executives in the fields of marketing, technology, mobile and media, such as: what are the next big changes we’ll see in the media? What will globalisation bring us next? Will mobile 2.0 ever show up? And is technology leading us down the path to utopia or to the extinction of the planet?
An exclusive audience of 400 people is expected at the two-and-a-half day event, at the Sage Gateshead on May 21-23, to hear from an eclectic mix of speakers including key players from the world’s leading digital agencies and media organisations, including:
Ray Kurzweil, a renowned futurist, Hall of Fame inventor and visionary who predicts that computer intelligence will surpass human intelligence in 2029
Aubrey de Grey, a controversial biogerentologist who believes it is possible to engineer a cure for ageing
Dan Lyons, the senior editor of Forbes magazine, who was outed last summer as the man behind The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, a satirical blog about the CEO of Apple Tara Hunt, community marketing guru, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Citizen Agency
Sean Phelan, the founder of Multimap
Mark Selby, vice president of sales and industry collaboration at Nokia
Jessica Flannery, chief marketing officer for Kiva.org, a web 2.0 social enterprise that helps entrepreneurs in developing nations
Daniel Pink, Al Gore’s former speechwriter and author of A Whole New Mind, which charts the rise of right-brain thinking in modern economies
Herbert Kim, programme director for Thinking Digital, says the broad scope of the conference makes it the first event of its kind in the UK: “As technologies get more and more sophisticated and complex, they’re driving an ever-greater need for concerned and informed individuals to meet face-to-face in order to better understand the changes in our world, digest the future trends we face, and think creatively about what we can do.
“We have created the Thinking Digital conference to bring together some of the world’s brightest, most accomplished and innovative minds as speakers, sponsors and delegates across a wide variety of disciplines, industries and functions.
“This is a rare chance to look across borders, boxes and walls in order to stimulate new thinking, insights and connections.”
The conference will kick off on the afternoon of 21 May with a series of workshops. The talks will begin on day two, with sessions on the future of media, the ‘network effect, technology and even happiness. The final day will include sessions on globalisation, mobile 2.0 and management in the digital age.
The Thinking Digital conference is being organised by Codeworks, North East England’s centre for digital innovation. It will take place at the Sage Gateshead and Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art on 21-23 May. For more information and to book seats, visit www.thinkingdigital.co.uk
