Well if you’re anything like me, you probably watch music videos a little too carefully at times – granted, some of you might be looking at the lovely ladies that tend to appear in these vids – me, I’m looking for Mobile devices! The likes of Nokia, Motorola, and a few other famous names have been tightly linked to music videos, since the Mobile became an object of desire – and what better way to promote it, than stick one (or more) in a music video!
Now in past months, I’ve commented on other music videos having more than one device in (The Game’s ‘Cameraphone’ track, feat. Ne-Yo springs to mind), but in this case it’s all devices from one manufacturer – Nokia.
If you click this link then you’ll be taken to Timbaland’s official site, and you can watch the video – 10 points to the first person that comes back and lists the devices out correctly – only exact answers will do…
… GAME ON!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
