Mats Lindoff, of Sony Ericsson, and Rick Simonson, of Nokia, seems to be very safe of their position of leader in the market of the movable telephony, but the recent announcement of Apple with his iPhone has turned east market a time bomb, a pump that could explode to him in the hands of Steve Jobs, or to crack the present panorama and leadership of both companies.

On the one hand, Mats Lindoff, CTO of Sony Ericsson, say that the company is not worried about imminent iPhone, simply because his Walkman devices already well they are positioned in the market, in addition… offer 3G, contrary to iPhone of Apple that in principle would not have 3G.

By another one, Rick Simonson, of Nokia, says that the opening of iPhone will lead back the market of the moving bodies made the concept of devices multimedia, something in which Nokia does not have anything to envy to others and it even has great lessons that to give. Nevertheless, the final decision is into the hands of the public.

That Nokia N81 that was a hot rumor is now a reality, with specs being released for all to see.

For starters, it has 8GB of memory, which is a bit mind-blowing for a device that small. It’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-friendly, and its talk and surf capabilities incorporate 3G, EDGE, and HSDPA.

The N81 has two cameras, one 2-megapixel and the other CIF. It has a music player, which can play up to 12.5 hours before the battery dies. It has dedicated music and gaming keys, which suggests one-touch. It also has a navigation wheel.

If you think this sounds a lot like a slider version of the N91, you’re probably right. But it’s another new Nokia advancement, which is always good for a bout of excitement around the globe.
