Week in Review: Nokia World and the invisible keyboard
This week in IT, Nokia World was held in London, HP spent over a billion on a security firm and an invisible keyboard was created.


Nokia World
This week saw Nokia World take place in foggy London Town, with the company saying it expects to sell 50 million of its new Symbian smartphones. The event started just after the firm's mobile solutions leader resigned and then later in the week, stories began circulating that the chairman would be gone in 2012.
One of the firm's closest rivals HTC was looking to crash Nokia's party as it unveiled some new smartphones, while Motorola acquired Aloqa for some location-based fun.
Acquisition mission
Following the monolithic billion-dollar Intel/McAfee deal, HP bought security company ArcSight for $1.5 billion. As for Intel and McAfee, their first product will be launched in 2011.
And speaking of Intel, IT PRO's own Jennifer Scott has been at the company's developer forum, where Dell revealed it has a 10-inch tablet coming in 2011 and we got a sneak peak at some of Intel's own R&D efforts.
