Nokia's ultimate ideal: to surpass mobile phones and reshape the Internet
At the theme forum of the smartphone exhibition on the 22nd, Kai Oistamo, Nokia's executive vice chairman, changed the topic of the speech from "future smartphone" to "The Future of CompuTIng".
"Smartphones today are full-fledged and fully equipped with the various characteristics of computers," Oistamo said. "We should rename them."
Benefiting from the continuous improvement of processing power, larger memory and higher display resolution, coupled with the "always on" Internet access capability, "a smartphone, as an Internet access point, has become an example Today's laptops are more personalized 'computers', "Oistamo explained. Oistamo is responsible for the development, design and related strategies of Nokia ’s terminal equipment.
Oistamo's definition of Nokia's business beyond cell phones is very fascinating. So, does it mean that Nokia is currently forming an alliance with Intel to call their mobile phones "Mobile Internet Devices (MID)"? Not yet.
When interviewed by EE TImes, Oistamo said: "There are two different things now, based on two design concepts." When MID is only a reduced version of the laptop, "Smartphones have more considerable power optimization and mobility optimization."
However, the Nokia executive pointed out that in the past five years, there have been many "dark sides" in the mobile computing device market, and the smartphone and ultra-mobile notebook markets have tended to assimilate and contradict each other. Obviously Nokia wants to become not only a mobile phone company, but also a mobile computing company with a broader market. Although Nokia is targeting "portability" and the company will not extend to the traditional computer business, they also understand that the foundations of today's computer industry are changing.
Oistamo said that in the past, the computer business relied on a "formula", that is, products must be manufactured on a vertical platform, and the application for a specific platform is at the top of the platform. In contrast, the new mobile computing business is about the collection of "cross industries, cross platforms and open source".
The Internet has had a profound impact on the definition of mobile portable devices. Nokia believes that the open source community will bring the same changes to the computing industry. Oistamo said: "When the world is changing, we hope to receive and drive change, rather than waiting to accept it."
In fact, Nokia has already announced its position and ambitions in the Internet age.
Reshape the Internet
Nokia Chairman and CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo announced at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year that Nokia will "reshape the Internet", but isn't it wishful thinking that only Nokia can reshape the Internet?
Once users leave their desks and use mobile devices to access the Internet, contextual information (contextual informaTIon) becomes an important role, using GPS and Wi-Fi on mobile computers, "We know when and where you are "Kallasvuo said," Bluetooth is also everywhere, you can know who is around you. "Once the relevant information is added to the network, the mobile Internet experience is more relevant and personal than the fixed one.
Even further, when the long-term evolution (LTE) wireless network technology arrives, "you can have more bandwidth than when you are on mobile access." Therefore, Nokia claims that it can "reshape the Internet."
Oistamo said in his keynote speech that such a result can appear in the novel only scene-define a digital world, to replace the real world you see.
Digital world vs real world
It is conceivable that when you stand in front of the basketball court in Madison Square Garden, New York, GPS already knows where you are, you take a picture with your mobile phone, the background service program immediately locates the 360-degree landscape around you, and You can immediately know the building you are facing.
The service can immediately tell you who will hold a concert in the museum tonight. If you want to watch it, it can help you book a ticket immediately.
To achieve these functions we need GPS, broadband access points, background services that support the service, sufficient processing power and memory. None of these have a particularly high "technical threshold", Oistamo said, but the right business model is needed.
Oistamo showed a wirelessly controlled car, a Nokia mobile phone used to drive the car, in order to control the vehicle, "just like James Bond played", Oistamo said, "I only need a built-in acceleration sensor N92 phones, Bluetooth and third-party applications running on the S60 operating system. "It ’s not clear whether the wirelessly controlled vehicle in this demo has impressed the audience-most of them are developers of the Symbian platform.
Oistamo finally pointed out his point of view: mobile software developers should break through the barriers of traditional mobile phone applications and develop various software freely.
