Nokia innovation article

Business week are running an article about innovation and Nokia.
http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/content/apr2008/gb20080430_764271.htm
Remember to click the slide show at the end of the article to see the phone designs people came up with.
Well done to whoever thought to publicise this exercise!
The article it self is pretty good, though most of the designs that have come back from the users do not have a touch screen which I would have thought would have been high on some peoples list especially with ideographic languages such as Hindi or Thai.
Its nice to see people are picking up on the ideas for sensors such as one to monitor air quality.
On a lesser note, this does promote Nokia labs which whilst they are producing some good stuff, this is at the expense of 3rd party developers as they are using API's which are not avaliable to 3rd parties even via partnering.I would love to see Beta Labs playing on the same field as all the other after market developers and companies, This kind of restrictive behaviour is after all exactly the kind of bad behaviour that earned Microsoft a hefty fine in the European Courts.
You can aslo read my post to Thomas on the interviews forum (http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=412588#post412588)

ideographic?

Might not feel like it matters, but Thai and Hindi are phonetic languages.
There are very few ideographic languages in use today, Chinese is the only really big one.
(Japanese hiragana and katakana is also phonetic)
Just wanted to let you know :)
