His return could be right, although not start with Apple, because it is done when EMI, Universal, and the world's major music labels to play in the digital music market.

This online music store will become a competitor of Apple, which currently controls the market with iTunes and Google are working together with the Amazon MP3 store. Meanwhile, the Nokia 5800 candidate haunt his Apple iPhone and mobile-phone Android that will exit the market to begin next year.

Exclusive: N-Gage camera games and GPS action Exclusive: N-Gage camera games and GPS action Click to enlarge

Sure, N-Gage is forging a fresh path on the portable gaming landscape, but we’ve just discovered that Nokia’s new gaming platform promises some seriously exciting twists on the journey ahead. Games that use your camera phone’s talents, location-based action, plus adventures that could tap into your contacts book contextually. Fact is, here’s a gaming service uniquely built on top-end convergence Nseries devices, all exploding with serious tech talents, and Nokia is dead set on exploiting these hi-tech features for the good of thumbkind.

We caught up with Will Shen, N-Gage Head of Production in North America (the guy behind all the first-party launch titles), who confirmed that they’re looking at creating games that harness the power of your built-in camera, GPS receiver and any relevant skill your handset may possess that could help inspire and execute innovative games. We’re talking titles that will enable you to take shots on your camera phone to interact within adventures! Shen explained an N-Gage game could potentially use clever techniques to interpret the histogram extracted from a photograph to interact with characters in a game. Shen’s example being, “a monster you could feed photographs”, presumably requiring you to take shots of appropriate real-life items while you’re out and about. Sounds like a crazily innovative approach to Tamagotchi-style games, but no matter how it’s realized the point is that Will Shen and the rest of the brains behind N-Gage aren’t just pushing the mobile gaming envelope, they’re aiming to fire the envelope out of a frickin’ canon.

Shen also stated that Nokia is seriously looking at location-based gaming via GPS, but level-headedly emphasizing that the “focus is on innovation”, and not gimmick gaming. Similarly, he echoed last week’s news of plans for touchscreen N-Gage gaming and even the possibility of first and third-party accelerometer-based games for Nseries devices with the capability.

So with around 50-60 games slated for launch on the N-Gage platform within its first year, we’re not going to be short of killer titles Shen promises. He assured us they’ll be no “filler content”, reemphasizing Nokia’s commitment to making N-Gage a truly innovative stomping ground for gaming. We’ve got itchy digits just thinking about it.

Nokia Connection 2008: new E71, E66, N-Gage and Ovi platform

The Nokia E66 and E71 have both got security encryption, push mail, better options for enterprise solutions and also a revamped OS. The Nokia Connection 2008 Launch Party also saw a closer look at the new N-Gage and the more solid Ovi platform that lets you upload audio, photos and video for free…this has been said to be a Flickr killer.

It’s really funny when some new service or product is released and it’s automatically a Killer of the number one product or service because it has better options, if only it was that simple. We are still to see an mp3 player used more than the iPod and a service to beat Flickr. Other features of Ovi look good and include the ability to embed photos on blogs and create channels; other winners for Ovi are the better mobile upload platform and social networking aspect.

Nokia are also hinting about going into the mobile advertising business and this will be in the form of contextual ads, but this is a tough business especially with brands like Google already well on the way in that industry and with a trusted advertising brand. Currently not many details are being released about Nokia’s mobile advertising strategy but we hear it will be aiming at a simpler solution.

You can get the full coverage of Nokia Connection 2008 on CellPhone 9.
