Nokia Capsule N96 : Give Us 96 Seconds, And We’ll Give You The World
Nokia’s push for the N96 as an all-in-one multimedia handset has stepped up a gear with their new downloadable ‘webisode’ service for the handset, offering bite-size chunks of entertainment with ‘Capsule N96′.
From fashion to funny stuff, Nokia has secured five of the brightest British talents to front programmes, which will then be available to view and download from the official Nokia site. Here’s a sneak peek:
Red or Dead creator Wayne Hemingway gives the low-down on cultural topics with Pulse, the fashion scene is analysed by up and coming actress Margo Stilley in Portfolio whilst motoring, gadgets and homes will also be covered.
The video morsels will last only 96 seconds, but they promise to be jam packed with features and depth despite their brevity. They will become available from the 1st of October, and new episodes will be available weekly until the end of November.
It is unclear whether an N96 will be essential to view them, and it is a bit of a shame that it will only run for two months, but it is an impressive and UK-centric idea which is greatly appreciated!
