Europe
: Nokia revealed that the Nokia N80 multimedia computer has been voted
the Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe 2006 by the Technical Image
Press Association (TIPA), the largest photo and imaging press association
in Europe.
The
award is an endorsement of the Nokia N80's industry-leading feature
set, which makes it one of the most high performance devices currently
available in the marketplace.
Commenting on the award, TIPA praised the Nokia N80 as "so much
more than just a camera phone." The official comment from the
TIPA Awards 2006 jury reads: "the Nokia N80 is a multimedia device
with a host of superb functions. It combines a 3 megapixel camera,
integrated flash, 20x digital zoom, video and MP3 player into one
stylish package. As soon as you switch on, the N80 is ready to shoot.
Using a 2GB miniSD card you can store nearly 1000 images at up to
2048x1536 (JPEG up to 16.7 million/24-bit color). Printing your images
is easy, too. You can take the images off the miniSD card or connect
the N80 to your printer via PictBridge or Bluetooth. The WiFi feature
also allows you to send your images to any compatible TV or PC, plus
you can edit your images, add text and some special effects."
The Nokia N80 is part of the Nokia Nseries, a range of high performance
multimedia computers that incorporate multiple functionalities in
one beautifully designed device. With Nokia Nseries products, people
can use a single device to do everything from snapping print-quality
images, reading email, listening to music, browsing the Web, watching
TV on the move, and much more. Moreover, multimedia computers can
effortlessly be connected to the Internet, enabling people to communicate,
create and share experiences, participate in Internet communities
and access digital content using available mobile broadband connections
such as WLAN and 3G.
"The compact yet feature-rich Nokia N80 has raised the bar for
mobile devices, and we are delighted to receive this accolade from
consumer electronics magazines across Europe," said Mads Winblad,
vice president, Multimedia Sales and Channel Management, EMEA, Nokia.
"This award is also an endorsement of the technological leadership
of the Nokia Nseries range of multimedia computers. Comprising the
functionality of a highly advanced converged mobile device, the Nokia
N80 empowers people to pursue professional goals and personal passions
with equal fervor."
TIPA was founded in 1991 as an independent, non-profit association
of European photo and imaging magazines. With 31 member magazines
from twelve countries, it is currently the largest photo and imaging
press association in Europe. Once a year, editors from the TIPA member
magazines meet to vote for the Best Photo and Imaging Products in
Europe. The TIPA Awards Ceremony this year will take place in Cologne,
Germany, on the opening day of Photokina 2006.
