Nokia's iPhone Response - "Tube"

Last week we reported on the first iPhone clone - the Samsung Instinct. Well, now it is Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) turn. Code-named "Tube" it is a touchscreen handset that is both Java and Flash-enabled. Currently the iPhone does not support either technology. The Tube will also be able to upload photos. While the handset maker did not disclose any details about the timing of the launch of the device, reports claim the company plans to launch it before the 3G iPhone drops, which could be as soon as 60 days from now. Forum Nokia's VP Tom Libretto poked fun at the recent news that Apple had shipped between 5 million and 6 million iPhones to date: "We've done that volume since we've had dinner on Friday," Libretto said.
