iPhone killer on the way.

Dot cant wait to try out the new TUBE.

iPhone killer on the way.



DOT reckons the end is nigh for iPhone unless Iphone 2 can compete with the new barrage of touch screen phones set to swamp the market in 2008.



Dot’s just heard that Nokia is developing a touchscreen-equipped handset to take on the Apple iPhone, and has shown off pictures of the upcoming phone to drooling onlookers.

The Finnish giant's handset is codenamed 'Tube'.

The Nokia handset will be entirely touch operated, will also support Java -- something which the iPhone doesn't yet officially support -- and will allow photos to be uploaded to the web.

Given the codename, it's fair to suggest Nokia sees it as a mobile video platform. And with the DVB-H mobile digital TV standard now starting to gain momentum, Tube will probably be a handheld TV too.

Nokia hasn't said when the Tube will be available, or how much it will cost.
