Nokia was working on an internet-ready touch-screen phone prototype back in 2004 - pre iPhone - but abandoned the project due to prohibitive production costs, a former employee of the firm has said.
A New York Times article, which quotes ex-Nokia worker Ari Hakkarainen, suggests the firm passed up opportunities to innovate in the mid-noughties, only to see others pick up where it left off.
In addition to the touchscreen concept, another ex-employee claims Nokia also rejected designs for an online app store and a 3D user interface.

There will be no Kinect stock available to buy in the UK come launch day on November 10 - according to the stores of national retailer GAME.
Numerous GAME outlets are today telling customers that the Xbox peripheral will definitely be sold out by November 10.
Confusingly, the retailer's head office seems to disagree - informing CVG that it is not aware of any such shortage. However, the HQ has admitted that the peripheral has the "potential to sell out on release day".
According to one GAME store manager contacted by CVG, the retailer delivered the news to staff at is behind-closed-doors national conference last week.
CVG has spoken to five GAME stores across the UK this afternoon - which all gave us the same message.
Every one reiterated that the only way we'll be able to pick up Kinect is if we've booked a pre-order - and that they're running out fast.
"Microsoft hasn't sent us enough us Kinect units to fulfil all pre-orders and there still won't be enough for launch day," one sales rep told us. "The message has gone round to all GAME stores."
Another told us it was "guaranteed" that there would be no stock on launch day. One even forecast that we'd have to wait until after Christmas to buy one - something "categorically denied" by GAME HQ.
A GAME spokesperson told CVG: "We are not aware of any potential stock shortages with Kinect and are working with Microsoft to meet expected demand.
"We do anticipate Kinect to be incredibly popular and it absolutely has the potential to sell out on release day. As a result, customers who want to get their hands on Kinect at launch really need to pre-order to guarantee that they get it."
Sales reps at entertainment giant HMV said they had received no such message from their HQ - and that they expected Kinect to be in stock in November.
The news points to heavy demand for Microsoft's new piece of kit - and a possible emulation of the UK Wii launch in 2006.
The Nintendo console was out of stock at retailers throughout the Christmas period - which only served to push demand higher as word-of-mouth spread.
GAME and Microsoft will no doubt be hoping that a similar consumer fear of losing out drives sales of Kinect.

It has already claimed that Kinect will enjoy a stronger launch than Xbox 360 and that it will “blow away” the iPad. Now Microsoft has claimed that Kinect is going to be the biggest ever hardware sales launch ever.
“We are investing in this like we've never invested in a platform launch,” Microsoft Game Studios’ corporate vice president Phil Spencer told Edge.
“This is, for us, the biggest platform launch in the history of the industry. “We want to sell more units than any console has ever sold in its first holiday, a new platform. Our retail partners are telling us, based on the consumer demand ‘this is going to be the number one consumer electronics purchase this holiday’. Not just in the games space, all of them.
“So this, for us, is bigger than Xbox launch, bigger than 360 launch - this is a big deal for us. How many units are we going to sell? We're completely goaled in investing as if this were the biggest console launch ever, and that's our expectation.”
In July MCV spoke to a number of retailers who had reported a boom in the number of pre-orders that they have received for the Kinect.
The big-promise strategy is in direct contrast to the slow-and-steady approach pursued by Sony for its recently launched PlayStation Move controller.
Earlier this month Sony UK marketing manager Adam Boita told MCV: “Pre-orders are always important, but Move is not necessarily a pre-order product. It’s not like Halo or World of Warcraft expansions, where people want to get hold of it day one. It is an evergreen product. And whereas pre-orders are very important, it is not necessarily the key focus.”

A majority of mobile app developers see Android as the smart bet over the long run even as they vote for Apple's iOS in the short term, according to a survey conducted jointly by Appcelerator and IDC. The survey polled more than 2,300 developers who use Appcelerator's Titanium cross-platform compiler to produce iOS and Android native apps. Of the 2,300 polled, 59% said that Android had the 'best long-term outlook,' compared with just 35% who pegged Apple's iOS with that label. But three out of four said that iOS offers the best 'near-term' outlook, with 76% tagging Apple's operating system as the best revenue opportunity.

Apple is getting more media attention right now than any other technology company, including Google. Microsoft, meanwhile, is languishing in the shadows like Cinderella on the night of the ball. That's the upshot of a study released Monday by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, which found that Apple was the focus of 15.1 percent of media coverage between June 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. Google received 11.4 percent of media coverage during the period, while Microsoft garnered just 3 percent.

PlayStation 3 maker Sony is now offering subscriptions for its PlayStation Plus online network at retail, starting at branches of US chain store Target.
$18 cards, granting three months of access to the premium service and its roster of free games and early-access demos and media, have been sighted, meaning Plus is now being promoted outside of the standard PSN.
A year's PlayStation Plus subscription is also available, for $50.

Over at PSX-Scene, garyopa, has posted some interesting information about how Sony is really taking this Jailbreak seriously. Lots of information as to who is involved and what Sony is doing. So not only is Sony going after sites that sell (of course), but they are asking the court they need to findout the true identify of everyone that sells, makes, offers for sale, or even has just knowledge of the real people behind any project called PSJailbreak, PSGroove, OpenPSJailbreak, PSFreedom. Sony is going all out!
In an update to the court action against the owners of PSJAILBREAK, I have gotten all the possible recent court documents that are available right now at much personal cost to myself (money for documents), but I thought it would serve the public good to see what the Sony legal dogs are up to.
In these boring legal filings by Sony, it now covers not just PSJailbreak, but also names PSGroove, PSFreedom, OpenPSJailbreak, and they have filed printouts from various blogs, forums, and sites like PS3NEWS with comments and tutorials people have been writing up on how to use these various programs. They even mention of course the phone ports & TI84 calc. hacks.
Sony is using this information, to get the courts to order up faster service, to force the various ISP', Domain Register's, and Web Hosting Services to give up the personal info on their clients so that can serve more court papers on those people, and issue DMCA takedown notices to shut down various sites.
So for the Judge has only granted one order so far, this one is directed to YAHOO! to within 5 business days to turn over all the information they have on a "[email protected]", all IP's he used to access his mail, his personal info stored by Yahoo, his email of course, and other logs.
This E-Mail address is the one that was used to rent the mail-drop box in Texas used by http://shoppsjailbreak.com as their virtual office for orders, shipments, registering the domain name, etc.
Recently, that above name site which also goes under the company name of Zoomba stop using the ".com" domain and now is operating under a http://shoppsjailbreak.net domain. -- Plus also the http://psjailbreakcanada.com site which seems to point IP wise to the older site, has suddenly been changed to DOJ/IPR/ICE notice that has been used in the past for "Torrent/Movie" site take-downs!
Anyhow, here is all the public court documents you can read thru them now, and see just what SCEA has been printing out about yourself online, they are asking the court they need to findout the true identify of everyone that sells, makes, offers for sale, or even has just knowledge of the real people behind any project called PSJailbreak, PSGroove, OpenPSJailbreak, PSFreedom.
Don't be surprized if the next few days, you see less sites online, or you find yourself answering the door to a person serving you a Summons to Appear! -- The good reading stuff is the PDF's called Exhibit or Exhibits!
You can view public PDF documents via source link below. What do you think about all this and what effect this has on the homebrew community?

Hey, you EU folks may not have Netflix over there, but you've got the next best thing: Sky Player. Eurogamer reports that Kinect voice commands -- one of the most lauded pieces of functionality in the upcoming Microsoft peripheral -- are coming to the Sky Player streaming service. Even better, the two will play nice right at Kinect launch in Europe, on November 10.
According to Eurogamer, users will be able to use voice commands to pause, rewind, fast-forward, play and stop, much like the integration detailed back during E3, though there's currently no official word from Sky Player. We're currently reaching out and will let you know what we hear back.
