HELSINKI, Finland-Nokia Corp. appears to be readying a new iPod-style device designed to play digital music, according to detailed documents posted on the Internet.
According to a post on Mobile Gadgets, Nokia is readying a device dubbed the Neo, which features a wheel-style input button like Apple Corp.’s popular iPod digital music player. Nokia’s previously released 7280 also features a wheel-style input button.
According to the Internet site, the phone features 7 MB of internal memory, support for an SD/MMC memory card and an integrated digital camera. Such features do not put the device in direct competition with Apple’s iPod, which features gigabytes of internal storage.
A Nokia spokeswoman said the company does not comment on industry rumors and speculation.
