I have already blogged about this (Audio Messaging), but I found it interesting to hear the name podcasting in this respect.

Everything becomes data - it always was, I know - these days:

Nokia Xpress Audio Messaging, New Way to Instant Message

Nokia today introduced their new service which allows users to send voice clips over their cell network. The service, called "Nokia Xpress audio messaging" will allow users swap audio messages with an easy to use menu that records and sends your message with a few clicks.

"During studies, consumers perceived Nokia Xpress audio messaging as a quick and natural way of communication," adds Pinomaa. "It was especially popular among young people as they were very creative when sharing audio messages with others."

I saw that some time ago (2003), now I rediscovered it again through egger-loser:

Instant Radio Feedback From Your Cell Phone

Nokia is set to introduce mobile phone technology that allows listeners to send instant feedback on songs to radio stations, as well as compete in contests. The new phones will have what is called "visual radio" capabilities, according to a Financial Times report. The new technology lets stations send information directly to listeners' mobile phone screens during a song, ranging from a picture of the artist to polls asking the listener to rate the song. Replies are instantaneously sent back to the station.

(...)

Nokia's Reidar Wasenius told Financial Times: "This is a potential disrupter to the music industry business model. Rather than radio stations being paid rates based on the estimated number of listeners, they could pay stations based on how many copies of a song they sold. Radio stations could become more like retailers."

Via Adverblog: Nokia introduces the "visual radio"

After loosing market share to its competitors (Motorola, Sony-Ericsson), Nokia seems to adapt to today's market. And it seems that this also includes a reconciliation between Nokia and Vodafone.


Vodafone details 3G devices for consumer launch

One of the most striking features of the list of handsets announced (see fig.) is the inclusion of Nokia devices that will be branded with the Vodafone name – suggesting that the world’s No. 1 vendor is finally starting to bow to operator pressure to produce customized devices.

Interesting speech by Mr Ito;) - I didn't see the others yet...
See Nokia Connection 2004 Helsinki webcast

Joi finishes with the words (as noted by Jon):

"Maybe five to ten years from now, in this device, you will have every single song, that's available in the world. Your problem is not gonna be how to get the song. The problem will be: Which song do you want to hear?"

Not much time at the moment, but I had to blog it, as it shows how "blogging, moblogging" is getting momentum, even if Christian Lindholm says that Lifeblog is not properly a weblog as we understand it. See below.

Lifeblog has seen the daylight

Nokia Lifeblog, our multimedia diary is finally out in open daylight. It feels great.

says Christian Lindholm.

The Guardian writes:

Weblogging aficionados will also note that, despite using the word "blog" in its name, the Lifeblog does not (yet) allow sharing of its contents on the web.

Christian Lindholm tells about Getting most out of Series 60:

There are numerous shortcuts that help you get most out of your Series 60 phones, which are not very well know. I thought that it could be nice to share some of them here on Moving Experiences. They are not in any specific order.
