"PUMPING UP the computational power of its latest mobile phones, Nokia
described three new smartphones as multimedia computers.

Certainly the capabilities built into these handsets are becoming more PC like.
For example, the N71 sports a new Nokia web browser which contains its own
minimap technology.

The minimap provides a semi-transparent view of a complete page to enable users
to navigate full HTML pages on a tiny screen.

The N80 is claimed to be the first mobile device to incorporate universal plug
and play (UPnP). This enables it to stream to home media appliances like Hi-Fis
and TVs. Naturally it communicates with such devices via Wi-Fi.

The third handset, the N92, has a 2.8-inch screen and built-in support for
DVB-H - the new standard for broadcast TV optimised for mobile devices."
