take a moment and think about this:
the n8 and the iphone have the same screen size. the n8 has a total of 230.400 pixels and the iphone has 614.400! you heard me right, not double but almost 3 times more!
I have nothing else to say.
goodnight and good luck.

Screenplay
Todays mobile devices do more than ever before, video calls, web browsing, managing music, tracking locations. Users expect richer epxeriences & this calls for enhanced graphics & user interfaces. It's upto the the OS to enable more complex UIs to be built easily & to be flexible. This is what screenplay is all about.
Heres a simple example. A user checks a date in his calendar to confirm the time. While he's doin this he receives a video call, looking at this graphically, each piece of visual information is being drawn to it's own surface. The Primary Surface contains calendar information aswell as the usual phone status information.
A Secondary Surface contains the incoming call dialogue & the third Surface contains the embedded video chosen to represent the caller which can be hardware accelerated to improve perfotmance. having taken the call, the user needs to update his calendar where once this would of meant switching to the calendar application, the user can now interact with his calendar without losing the call.
As each piece of information is drawn to it's own surface, the UI designer has more flexiblity & control over the look & function of the UI. If needed each Surface can have it's own level of transparency. So the calendar view layer can be brought to the forefront of the call allowing the user to make changes & still talk. Typical UI will be transformed by this technology, user homescreens can now be customized to show unique features appealing to hte indivudual.
Features such as real time news feeds, sport highlights, LBS applications which use openVG to draw maps, each seperate application is drawn to it's own dedicated graphic surface, & video again can be hardware accelerated if required leaving the graphics competition engine to blend the surfaces together in a unified dynamic visual experience by writing to different surfaces & enhancing video performance through hardware acceleration screenplay is preparing the devices of today for the visual interaction of tomorrow.

The new iPhone 4 is impressive kit, but because of the better connectivity, and better media, and most of all, because of the cheaper price, I'm going to get the N8.
Apple has created a great device, and Nokia does have it work cut out for them in a number of areas, considering UI appearance, and Ovi store app selection, but these things will improve with this exciting new mobile spuring things on.
btw, N8 is 10 times faster than iPhone 4 at 3D:

Mark, 08 Jun 2010Sweet. On an early 2007 phone correct? Yup. The editor was similar on the N95 but a tad slower. I wondered if the video editing would run on the CPU or GPU on the N8 but looking at how fast it seems to process the clips, I'm happy either way.
I always referred to my N95 as an extra PC I carry around but not without a little puzzled looks from my mates but if your smartphone can basically do everything your PC does, why not?

Mark, 08 Jun 2010great, looks like Nokia has its own Imovie... :)
This is great. The new movie editor is something I wanted to see for myself. I have used this feature to edit movies before on my N95 but the editor on the N8 is really fast.
If you want to see some of the movies I edited entirely on my N95, check this out:

drV, 08 Jun 2010iPhone 4 with iOS4 is way way ahead of N8.... I guess competition is over before the start... ... morePlease do us the honor of comparing them and explain to us how the competition is over before it was started. We have had many discussion on the matter in this forum and certainly do not think so. I you don't then your comment and you are invalid mate.
