A New Beginning…
Welcome to the Future Watch blog, our little window into the future of connected, mobile gaming.
We realize you may have a lot of questions about the next generation of the N-Gage experience. Many of those questions pop up regularly in our discussion boards, and we also expect to see them in our comments section too. We welcome your questions and appreciate your interest in our future direction.
We’ve tried to answer the most common of these questions in our Next Generation section, so be sure to check out the FAQ there. But we also hope you also understand that as a large, publicly-traded company, Nokia has to follow a formal process on how we release information. So there’s no way for us to answer every question that will come up. Hey, we like working here too!
So that’s why Future Watch is a place for us to talk about not just the future of the N-Gage platform, but also interesting things going on in the world of mobile gaming, from the perspective of those of us working in the N-Gage Arena.
You’ll see familiar names posting here — ikona, redrum, congested — as well as new faces, other people from within and without Nokia who are working their hardest to bring the next generation of mobile gaming your way.
But just as important as our authors and are our posts are you, all of whom we hope will become regular readers. A blog is a two-way street, a place for community discussion, and your input and your insight will only increase the value of this avenue.
So in a way, this is your blog. Right now it’s an open slate, but with your feedback and interaction, it will become the resource you want it to be.
So what do you want to see? What should be talk about here? Let’s make this first thread about the Future Watch blog itself — what kind of posts do you want to see here, from who?
Have fun!

I am very excited for the new N-gages which I can play in the new year.
December 20th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
Wow Redrum… now theres a name from the past! Guess I need to spend more time on the N-Gage forums huh… by the way… I still have my classic pink N-Gage.
On another note, I’m happy to see that N-Gage fans as well as Nokia fans in general will now have a way to stay informed on the enhancements of the N-Gage platform. This is much more personal and informational then just a press release.

Can you disclose the “real” identify of the authors? What are you roles in the N-Gage platform?
December 21st, 2006 at 11:17 am
Good question Anthony, right now we have a couple of authors who have been moderators for a long time on the n-gage boards and they are writing under their n-gage usernames. My name’s Karl Long and I’m a more recent addition to the team and my role is really focused on the web and social media aspects of the next generation N-Gage site. This is early days for the blog and we are actively recruiting other members of the N-Gage team to contribute, everyone from game producers to marketers to management. I’m glad there is already a lot of interest and interaction on the blog because it will make it a lot easier to get people involved. So as they say, stay tuned
