Nokia still has it

Nokia, the veteran cell-phone maker and former industry leader, indicates it can still throw some tough punches. The company, who is trying to penetrate the smart phone market dominated by Apple phones and Google's Android based phones (the primary hardware manufacturer in the android zone being Samsung), has anounced an astounding 41-megapixel camera in a new model. To understand the full meaning of this declaration, one should remember that the most recent iPhone bears an 8 megapixels camera, and professional photographers usually use 20 megapixels cameras. The news item telling this also includes interesting details on the new models by Nokia targeting emerging markets.

While analysts in the developed world have been considering Nokia and  Research in Motion as has-beens, both are sill  leading players in the emerging markets. Research in Motion have been promising that come 2012, they will re-emerge in the developed world. For the time being, it seems like Nokia has been working harder, and are already here. Worth taking a look.

Regardless of one's personal preferences, it is quite clear that 2012 is going to be a very interesting year in the smartphones market.
