Nokia plans demise of MP3 players and video cameras

After totally pwning the photography industry last year with the sale of 100 million cameraphones, Nokia is now the world's largest camera manufacturer and is setting its sights on MP3 player and video camera market shares. Of course they're going to have a hard time winning over the prosumer types in the video field, and iPod junkies will be hard won as well, but they do seem on track to win over lots of casual users to the convenience of a single device. For instance, Nokia's 40 million musicphones last year will surely be increased upon this year, but we hope their design team shuffle can help get these devices a quite a lot smaller and a bit more fun to use. We're thinking smaller than a brick here.
