N-Gage launching next week, at least for some people
N-Gage, Nokia’s software platform for delivering video games to Nseries users, is poised to launch next week, but only for owners of the N81. Ricky Cadden shot me a very angry instant message with the news. This is quite devastating and a marketing stunt that most certainly pisses more people off than makes happy. Personally…
US ITC rules in favor of Nokia in Qualcomm complaint
When is too much just too much? When two companies keep going at each other for alleged intellectual property infringements like a twisted, never-ending game of “Who’s at fault,” we’re going to draw the line and say enough is enough.

Nokia: Hey, we want Apple-style revenue sharing kickbacks too!
Apple sparked something of an industry-upheaval with their iPhone business model. Never before had a manufacturer demanded revenue kickbacks from carriers in exchange for handset exclusivity.
