Multimedia
Multimedia brings connected mobile multimedia to consumers in the form of advanced mobile
devices and solutions. The Multimedia business group is also responsible for exploring and
developing business models and systems, applications and new sales channels for the growing
mobile multimedia market.
The Multimedia business group has four business units: Imaging, Entertainment Products,
Convergence Products and Mobile Enhancements. During 2004, Multimedia introduced six new
smartphones and numerous products in the areas of imaging, games and enhancement products.
In January and February 2005, Multimedia introduced three additional smartphones.
Imaging develops mobile devices for capturing, sharing, storing and printing images. At the same
time, our imaging devices offer smartphone functionality to consumers and business users.
Smartphones are a new category of mobile devices that can run computer-like applications such
as email, web browsing and enterprise software, and can also have built-in music players, video
recorders and other multimedia features. In 2004, we announced the Nokia 7610, Nokia’s first
mega pixel camera phone, and the Nokia 6630 imaging smartphone, which is Nokia’s third
dual-mode 3G WCDMA/GSM phone. In January and February 2005, Multimedia introduced three
additional smartphones: the Nokia 6680 3G WCDMA megapixel smartphone and the Nokia 6681
megapixel smartphone as well as its variant for the Americas, the Nokia 6682. We have also been
actively developing ways to make the sharing, storing and printing of digital images easier with
companies such as Kodak, HP and Fuji.
Entertainment Products develops devices and application platforms for music, mobile games and
rich media. In mobile games, we currently offer the Nokia N-Gage and N-Gage QD game decks,
both designed for mobile, multiplayer games. During 2004, there was a continuous flow of new
titles from leading publishers for the Nokia N-Gage platform. Today, we have several mobile
devices with integrated music players, and we are developing the next generation of music-
optimized devices and service platforms. Our strategy is to bring music solutions to market with
operator and music industry players. In rich media, we currently have products such as the Nokia
7710 which has full Internet browsing capability and smartphone functionality. In 2006, we expect
to introduce to the market a mobile device TV using IP Datacasting technology over the DVB-H, or
Digital Video Broadcast—Handheld, standard.
Convergence Products seeks to capitalize on the digital convergence opportunity for Nokia by
developing and driving technologies and products based on IP applications and multiple radio
connectivity. The unit’s products are still under development and have not yet been
commercialized.
In Mobile Enhancements, Nokia offers products that are intended to make consumers’ lives easier,
more productive and fun. Current products include items such as the Nokia Wireless Headsets, the
Nokia Wireless Keyboard and the Nokia Remote Camera as well as Nokia Automotive products.
