Nokia Demonstrates the Power of Mobile Technology at Pop!Tech

This year at Pop!Tech, Nokia previewed MOSH, a multi-platform peer-to-peer mobile content sharing service. The service allows mobile users to effortlessly share video, music, applications and other content with one another on many brands of mobile device.

To exploit the power of MOSH, we partnered on a special project that will encourage Pop!Tech participants to interview each other during the conference using the high-resolution video capture capabilities of the Nokia N95, the world’s first 5 megapixel mobile device.

This video montage represents just a few of the answers collected over three days at Pop!Tech. Some of the questions the participants asked each other were:

1    What's the most powerful but underappreciated way we can shape the future?

2     What long-time belief have you changed your mind about?

3     Tell us something surprising about your background

4     What is something that people should read, see or do in the next year? 

This content formed the core of a Pop!Tech repository of content on MOSH, which is available online and shared freely with the world.

During a special session held on Wednesdsay October 17, Nokia and Pop!Tech explored the theme of mobile social empowerment – the ways mobile devices are being used to alleviate poverty, deliver education, ensure impartial elections, free political prisoners, advance public health strategies, and accelerate social change. The session were led by Nokia Research Center researcher Joe McCarthy, and founder of MobileActive Katrin Verclas and MIT Media Lab mobility expert Nathan Eagle.
