So declared Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, president and CEO of Nokia, at the Mobile World Congress on Monday, the 11th. And he has a compelling argument too. Internet connected mobile devices add *context* to the Internet, a kind of new dimension where data like time, people, and location are always available in real time. For example, you will have a smart GPS map in your hand, showing you where in the city all your friends are, and what they're doing as it happens. Called Maps 2.0, Nokia is already rolling out the beta next month.
Nokia even took a public jab at Google, a mobile device newcomer with lofty expectations:
While acknowledging that both Google and Nokia share "a similar vision" for "operator-independent cross-platform software stacks," Nokia's Savander added: "Google's Android is still a Power Point presentation."
