Nokia’s CEO Kallasvuo: The Apple iPhone is a niche product

So all of you must be aware that Nokia is working to fight the iPhone with its plans of introducing a touchscreen handset based on S60 Touch OS, and from first impressions it does seem that the S60 Touch OS still needs work. What does look good though is the hardware. And well, the most significant comment in the whole rivalry between Nokia (S60 Touch) and Apple (iPhone) has been Nokia CEO Kallasvuo’s statement in response to analysts’ recommendations that his company needs to do more to challenge the iPhone, that the apple flagship is a “niche product.” Read on from MacDailyNews and learn of the aftershocks yourself:Kallasvuo is either incapable of applying the lessons of iPod to iPhone and understanding what’s coming his way or, much more likely, he understands perfectly and, since he has no answer, is saying just what many now-defunct (if they aren’t making iPod accessories) MP3-makers said a few years ago. How many “niche” products have $100 million venture capital funds ready and waiting, exactly? Candybars and way-too-late, fake 1st generation iPhones with craptastic UI’s aren’t going to cut it from here on out, Nokia boy. This June, the bloodbath really begins, and Kallasvuo sounds like he knows it.

Ahem
