Nokia creates Technophile's playground

Singapore - Nokia Nseries is launching Digital Playzone, an event featuring competitors locked in a glass enclosure using Nokia technology to highlight the convergence of mobility and entertainment.

Competitors or "Technoholics" will pit themselves against each other delivering tasks which include entertaining the audience while leveraging on their knowledge of technology. Winners are decided by the audience viewing the competition outside the enclosure or votes via the website.

"Nokia Nseries is proud to host the Digital Playzone because it highlights how consumers today can have a complete electronics entertainment experience, independent of time and space in a dramatized and entertaining setting," Ruhne Fiala, Nokia's multimedia marketing director, APAC said in a statement.

Competitors in each country will have their own local playzone, with a chance for each player in the running to win prizes. Held in November in Singapore, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and Indonesia, the showcase allows the players to sample the latest in consumer technology.
