AAS Podcast #121: Nokia at the Game Developers Conference
Ewan sits down with Jakko Kaidesoja (Nokia's VP of Games, Services and Software) to discuss the current status of the N-Gage ecosystem.
I'm currently in San Francisco, attending the Game Developers Conference, and I caught up with Jaakko Kaidesoja, Vice President of Gaming at Nokia. The N-Gage naturally falls under his jurisdiction, and in this podcast we talk about the latest developments, both good and bad, in the Next Generation Gaming System and in Nokia as a whole with the Ovi portal.
- Has Apple and the iPhone overtaken the N-Gage?
- What can Nokia learn from the success of the iPhone and the App Store.
- Nokia have announced one million profiles on N-Gage. What does this actually mean?
- How does this compare to the original N-Gage and N-Gage QD activity.
- N-Gage on the E75, and other form factors.
- Why is N-Gage not running on older hardware such as the N73?
- Not all sensor technologies will be on all handsets - how will this be handled?
- The difference between first party and third party titles, ports, java and native S60 coded games.
- Where is local area network gaming?
- N-Gage and the upcoming Ovi Store.
- The most surprising thing in 2008, and what looks good for 2009.
