iPhone is the epitome of cool but with Nokia coming up with a viral marketing website in the form of an online music store, promoted using it’s launch date 070829.com Nokia does not trail too far behind too. iPhone did not want to lose a piece of the music pie by having a voice recorder.

However, what iPhone did that overtook Nokia is their open source approach that opens up their phone OS to allow development of games for the phone by any mobile developers who can get access to their API. Nokia meanwhile focuses on creating their own premium games and contents which can only be downloaded using their own phones to win customers over. Well, at least we get a variety of products to keep us entertained regardless what phone models we use.
