Will the newly announced Nokia N91 mean the end for the Ipod?
Back in April Nokia announced it's new N-Series of phones - all of which feature new 2-Megapixel cameras - but by far the most interesting was the N91, which features a whopping 4GB storage for music - by far the biggest capacity available in any mobile phone.
With a look reminiscent of the older, classic Nokia 8850, the handset features the music controls on the slide itself, meaning that the phone can be used as a stand-along music player.
