Nokia's marketing campaign for the upcoming Nokia N8 is starting to kick off. Released today is a (potentially) viral video showcasing a hamster-powered charging accessory for the N8. The charger in question was the result of Peter Ash's GCSE coursework. Originally it was powered by Elvis the hamster, but we suspect, five years on from the original construction, that Elvis might have left the building.
Read on in the full article.
I'm not sure what's more shocking. Casual exploitation of hamsters or the fact the coursework only got a 'C' grade...
This Hamster will need to be set on by Nokia to get its workers going as they are taking such along time to get the N8 released,it looks as they need Charging up ,as April - September or October seems along time for Nokia to produce there first or supposed to be its First Top Smartphone,just watch September an we are going to get loads of phones released to dampen the sales on the N8,another thing Nokia have to stop happening, is its mobiles being leaked out to early so the others know what type of mobile to produce to dampen the sales of the leaked Nokia phone

Well, if it's intended to be a viral, it's pretty crap because I can't view it.
Got a message saying "it's a private video" both here and on the Nokia blog.
Whassup?
The video now seems to be working again. Not in our control when it is hosted on You Tube. Maybe it was released earlier than intended?
BTW. check out the new Ovi Maps with pinch-to-zoom etc. for the N8, damn that looks good....and FAST!
(video is in german)
