If Nokia really manages to come out with a phone that resembles the design of the Aeon, it has the potential to really become the aspirational phone, instead of the iPhone. Apple is not a major power in the cell phone market outside US despite the iPhone being available in many countries now. On the other hand, Nokia is. All they need is a brilliant product, and the Nokia Aeon looks like it can do that. As you can see from the photos on this page, it is easy to fall in love with.
Nokia has already released images of the Aeon concept and the pictures say that the device would sport two touch-sensitive panels mounted on a fuel-cell power pack. (Fuel cell – ignore that. In your dreams!) The touch-screen displays control all the keys that are virtual. The Aeon continues with Nokia’s recent ventures that all of which follow the wearable technology vision. Going by the images of the Nokia Aeon concept, it may be believed that the phone could be worn as a badge or as part of the wrist-strap.
Technology experts have started hailing the innovation going on at the Finnish phone maker’s R&D division, terming it as a big step in a world where Apple’s iPhone holds sway. They have opined that “it is nice that at least one manufacturer is apparently keeping up with Apple” and that “the whole world would be glad to see a realistic alternative the iPhone”.
Though the phone maker has not let out a date for the official launch of the Nokia Aeon, it is expected that when it actually does with all the spruce ups, it would be an event that would have the potential to give Apple’s iPhone a run for its money.
