Johannesburg, South Africa – Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N78, a multimedia computer that combines music, navigation and photography with the benefits of mobility, to the South African market. The Nokia N78 is designed to take advantage of the new suite of Nokia services including Share on Ovi – a new online service that enables consumers to share their personal media.

The Nokia N78 packs a powerful range of technologies, including integrated A-GPS, with free Nokia Maps. Also included is WLAN and high-speed HSPDA 3G connectivity, a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and a 2GB microSD memory card to store music and media. The device also offers an integrated FM transmitter that allows music to be played on any FM radio, in a car or at home.

“The Nokia N78 truly lives up to the Nseries promise of delivering unparalleled mobile multimedia experiences with the latest technologies and services,” says Henri Mattila, head of go to market Nseries sales, Middle East and Africa. “The Nokia N78 empowers people to explore their passions, enjoy their favourite music and share their experiences with others. The N78 is well positioned to continue the appeal of well-balanced Nseries devices such as the successful Nokia N73.”

Search, snap, tag and share

Taking advantage of its integrated A-GPS functionality and 3.2 megapixel camera, he Nokia N78 introduces the increasingly popular online practice of ‘geotagging’. The Nokia N78 automatically tags images with capture location metadata, making it possible to view the capture location on a map either on the device itself, or online. With its high-speed internet connectivity, over WLAN or HSDPA, uploading photos and videos to online communities like Share on Ovi, Zoopy or YouTube is a single key stroke away.

Music remains a core feature of the Nokia N78 and Nokia’s range of Nseries multimedia computers overall. In addition to the up to 8GB of memory, internal speakers and support for standard 3.5mm headphones, the N78 also comes with Nokia Internet Radio, giving instant access to thousands of radio stations around the world.
