Speaking at the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) he said: "Mobility will be at the core of how the Internet evolves, where people can have access to people, content and information from almost any part of the globe. In emerging markets, we see that more people are accessing the Internet for the first time via their mobile device rather than on a PC and we aim to be at the forefront of making that happen."
 
"Single purpose devices are becoming less attractive," he continues. "And the converged devices taking their place are increasingly powerful and easy to use." Reaching 90m units in 2006 and expected to reach 250m units in 2008, the market for converged devices is said to be the fastest growing segment of consumer electronics. In this market, Nokia says that it is the world's largest manufacturer, selling close to 40m converged devices in 2006.
 
"Nokia brings the added value of mobility and connectivity to convergence - enabling people to take their content and Internet services with them," says Kallasvuo. He also shared his excitement regarding Nokia's co-operation with Sprint Nextel in bringing WiMaX and open Internet-based services and mobile devices to the pockets of US consumers in 2008.
 
Kallasvuo highlighted Nokia's market strength and consumer base. "More than 850m people have a Nokia mobile phone in their hands. No other consumer electronics company in the world has ever had such a customer base." In 2006, Nokia was the world's largest camera manufacturer with approximately 140m cameras sold as well as close to 70m music-enabled devices, making Nokia the world's largest manufacturer of music devices as well, he adds.
