How it all began...

San Francisco, April 7, 2008; 6PM PDT

Nokia Tube and market forces: The release of Apple’s iPhone sent shockwaves throughout the mobile telephone market and Nokia Tube intends to capture significant chunk of the emerging touch-screen phone market. It’s not going to be an easy task if we consider the fact that Apple has shipped over six million iPhones. To quote InfoWorld: “News on Nokia's Tube was first displayed in a slide at the Evans Data Dev Relations Conference in Redwood City, CA.” The tube will ultimately be a touchscreen device with capability to display graphics and will enable user to seamlessly upload photos. Currently we have no firm date for the street date.

Engadget has a story on Nokia Tube and is reporting the following:
It appears that Nokia is readying its official response to the iPhone, a project grossly codenamed "Tube" that will feature a touch interface. The new handset -- which is said to closely resemble Apple's device (see above, we assume) -- was shown during a slideshow at the Evans Data Developer Relations Conference in Redwood City, California. The slide demonstrated the phone's UI, including a promotional shot featuring Shrek The Third. Tom Libretto, vice president of Forum Nokia, believes that the company can compete for the iPhone's marketshare, though the phone-maker hasn't set a street date for the device. Apple has sold more than 4 million units since the iPhone's launch, but Libretto smugly noted that, "We've done that [volume] since we've had dinner on Friday," (though he failed to mention that it was 4 million low-end candybar handsets). He then put on a monocle, puffed on a Cuban cigar, and knocked back a tall glass of Cristal while chortling, "Oh, I do say!"
