N-Gage QD Announced By Nokia
You may have heard a little something about the new N-Gage that was announced by Nokia yesterday. This version is called "N-Gage QD" Here's a quote from the press release.
Quote: "After six months on the market with the N-Gage platform, we wanted to expand our device portfolio based on the feedback we've received," said Nokia's Senior Vice President of Games, Ilkka Raiskinen. "With improved gaming ergonomics, gamers can now start to play games at the push of a button and enjoy the increased responsiveness of the game keys. We also added support for hot-swap MMC and extended the battery life. For phone calls, we reoriented the speaker and microphone to support 'classic talking'."
Does that sound odd to anyone? After just six months Nokia is releasing a new version?! They must have really messed up the first version to have it's successor announced so close after. I've also heard that they pulled a couple key features from the device like FM Tuner, and MP3 playback. :roll: Wouldn't the target audience for this device be the same age group that uses MP3s? Does this make sense to you? Is this really want the consumer asked for? That's the market leader in mobile communications at work for you. :wink: You can read the full press release at the linked article.
