Nokia has posted the official video of its recent Nokia Games Summit conference on YouTube, with some highlights of the show and its attendees.

It's embedded at the bottom of this story, but here's ten things we think you'll learn from it:

1. Tero Ojanpera looks comfortable in a trendy black jumper. This is probably an asset when dealing with the music industry.

2. "The catalogue needs to be wide: casual, hardcore, feminine aspects..." Mark Ollila showcases his new man credentials.

3. "This IS a personal computer now," says Scott Foe. Who has since been sacked for veering off the "multimedia computer" party line.

4. For some reason, the footage of the EA Mobile presentation is taken from the very beginning (i.e. before they ripped into N-Gage). Fancy that.

5. Dave Stewart wears shades indoors. He's thus a proper rock star (see also: Bono). Whether this is an asset when dealing with Tero Ojanpera is unconfirmed.

6. Dave is also a Nokia Change Agent. Quite.

7. They let scruffy rambling journalists onto the stage at these things nowadays, but then play techno riffs over them on the montage video. This is a sensible policy.

8. The footage of 300 attendees screaming for their lives (nearly) on a storm-lashed castle-top has also gone missing. For those of us who've been playing the anecdote for all it's worth since, this could cause a loss of plausibility.

9. The mobile operators are suppressing super-distribution! Let's have a revolution and occupy their base antennas till they relent! *makes placard*

10. The camera pan around seven minutes almost catches Pocket Gamer boss Chris James leaping up onto the table and flinging his pants at Cindy Gomez. Almost.

Enough silliness: here's the video:
