Most advanced multimedia computer optimized for entertainment
Mobile World Congress 2008, Barcelona, Spain/Espoo,
Finland - Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N96, a multimedia computer
truly optimized for video and TV. With a large 2.8" screen, 16
gigabytes of internal memory and support for high-quality videos in a
wide range of formats, the dual-slide Nokia N96 represents an exciting
new chapter in mobile media. The Nokia N96 multimedia computer is
expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008 with an
estimated sales price of approximately 550 euros, before subsidies or
taxes.
"In
2007, the Nokia N95 became an icon of convergence of Internet and
mobility. With over 7 million units sold to date, the N95 has changed
the way people use their mobile device. The Nokia N96 we introduced
today builds on the success of N95, further enhancing the experience,"
says Jonas Geust, who oversees Nokia's Explore category. "Through the
power of the Internet, video and TV are becoming even more prevalent in
people's lives. With its large, bright screen, and a range of
high-speed connectivity options and the enhanced Nokia Video Center,
the new Nokia N96 is a personal window to entertainment."
Accessing
internet videos is quick and simple. The Nokia N96 supports common
video formats including MPEG-4, Windows Media Video and Flash Video,
making favorite videos easy to view. Transferring and accessing videos
is even faster with the high-speed USB 2.0 connection and WLAN and
HSDPA support. In select markets, the integrated DVB-H receiver offers
live broadcast TV with an automatically updating program guide. The
massive memory can store up to 40 hours of video content. The storage
capacity of the Nokia N96 can even be further expanded with an optional
microSD card, such as the new Nokia 8GB microSDHC Card MU-43 which
increases the available memory of the Nokia N96 to a total of 24 GB.
For added convenience, the Nokia N96 features a 'kickstand' on the back
cover that allows for hands-free viewing.
The
Nokia Video Center offers one place to discover and access a variety of
mobile content ranging from movie trailers and comedy to news from
world-leading content brands such as YouTube, Reuters, and Sony
Pictures. The catalogue of internet video feeds is continually expanded
with more regional and country specific content.
For
a superb music experience, the Nokia N96 features media keys, a 3.5 mm
headphone connector and built-in 3D stereo speakers. The Nokia Maps
application offers richer maps with urban details and satellite views
and has upgrade options such as City Guides, turn-by-turn pedestrian
mode and voice-guided car navigation.
The
Nokia N96 boasts a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, flash and
video light. It allows DVD-like quality video capture at 30 frames per
second. Further, with the integrated A-GPS, consumers can now 'geotag'
their pictures with location data and share them with their online
communities.
The Nokia N96 naturally supports the Ovi family of Nokia internet services, including maps, music, media sharing and more.
