Although the outer dimensions remain unchanged, Nokia's CES booth isconsiderably larger in usable square footage this year compared to lastbecause some of its private meeting space has been jettisoned to alocation elsewhere in the convention. They've used the extra spacewell, too; in addition to several areas where passers-by can handle thelatest phones, there's a long, wrapping counter for demoing what Nokiacalls its "experiences" -- things like the Music Store, for example.Check out all the pretty colors in the gallery! Nokia's CES 2008 booth tour
Nokia is showcasing the industry's widestarray of wireless devices and is dedicating more exhibit space than everbefore to hands-on demonstrations of Nokia-branded and third-party wirelessapplications, services and mobile experiences. This increased emphasis is adirect result of the growing importance of software and services in thewireless industry, and reflects Nokia's evolution from a pure manufacturer ofwireless hardware into a true Internet company. Another area of emphasiswithin the Nokia exhibit is the environment, and how Nokia has been leadingthe way in developing and utilizing environmentally responsible businesspractices. Nokia's exhibit at CES 2008 is located in the upper level of theLas Vegas Convention Center's south hall, booth #30313.
