Who needs a notepad anymore?
N93
There was a time when a notepad was a journalist’s best friend. Then it was a tape recorder/Dictaphone. What will it be next? Probably the mobile phone.
Take for example the N93; on paper a it’s a regular 3G mobile but the reality is that it can take very high quality still and video photos, downloads any Web page you want, produces copy on Microsoft Word, record in digital audio, and phone anywhere in the world, for free, on Skype.
The N93 is Nokia’s latest attempt to pack the whole technology world into a pocket-sized package, and that it can allow journalists to do almost everything they need in a single device could begin a revolution.
At this stage in the technology’s development, the Nokia N93 is not yet the perfect solution. There are still many incidents when a bulky camera, a powerful computer or a sophisticated digital audio unit is needed but the time will likely come when all a journalist needs is there mobile in one hand and a micro-keyboard in the other.
