I was interested to see Nokia's vice president of Nseries Computers, Pekka Pohjakallio, interviewed at CES by TechDigest after the launch of the iPhone. Quotes and link below, but the general consensus is that competition is good and that the iPhone is yet more confirmation that (smart)phones are now becoming 'multimedia computers'... (still hate the term though!)

Here's what Nokia's vice president of Nseries Computers, Pekka Pohjakallio, had to say to TechDigest

"I think it confirms our story. We have been preaching the message of converged multimedia in one device, with lots of use cases and a good experience for the whole life of Nseries. And now Apple have come and said basically the same thing, even if they have implemented some things differently.

"It just confirms our message, and it's good to have others preaching the same message. The best company will win in the end, so I think it's good news for us. It's not a threat, although of course it's hard competition, but that usually makes you perform better yourself."
