Cafe in the Sky



The Nokia Internet Cafe in the Sky is in Las Vegas, and Nokia held the first ever press briefing 180 feet in the sky overlooking Las Vegas. They had a crane lift a platform full of reporters 180 feet in the air at the Las Vegas CTIA Wireless Show. While up in the sky, the reporters were given the opportunity to test out the new N810 Internet Tablet. It is similar to an IPhone and offers long range wireless internet called WiMAX. The technology makes it possible for the consumer to access the Internet in far off, unexpected places including the Nokia Internet Cafe in the Sky.

This is such an innovative way to grab their publics' attention. It is the first time this type of stunt has happened. Having the reporters in such an original location, the sky, will really demonstrate how useful the product is. I wonder if the reporters got to keep the Internet Tablet?
