Nokia and Google - The partnership is confirmed

mobilephoneheartloveml8 Nokia and Google - The partnership is confirmed

This shouldn’t be a big deal, we have seen Live Search from Windows Live, which is obviously owned by Microsoft, so now we wonder why did Nokia change from Microsoft to Google?

We had seen the change in the N800 Internet Tablet, but the change was yet to come to Nokias, many Samsung’s incorporated Google Search and made publicity with it, and as Google owns 75% of the search engine market share, Nokia thought that this would be a good marketing move, not bad Nokia…

"Providing choices for our consumers is an important driver in Nokia’s Internet service strategy," said Ilkka Raiskinen, vice-president, software and services at Nokia. "This integration allows our consumers the ability to use the innovative search technologies, which have made Google almost synonymous with Internet search.

"Adding Google to Nokia Search provides mobile users with fast, relevant and comprehensive search experience that will be familiar to the people who use Google to search the web from their desktop," said Google’s VP of Engineering and Products for Mobile Vic Gundotra. "Google search combined with the high quality applications on Nokia devices help make information available to Nokia device users wherever they are and provide an excellent overall experience."

S60 touch UI more videos…no protos

Written by Meraj Chhaya on February 12, 2008 – 8:07 pm

I was expecting more than just another someone playing around with the system, but I guess we only saw a a S60 representative with a tablet PC which had an emulator or a S60 touch UI Operating System.

The S60 representative showed the basic touch and feeback, nothing new, in fact it’s less than what we saw at the other video long ago. The scrolling was the worst part, I prefer the scrolling that the N800 had, where you "push" the page up or down.

I suspect this is a very early stage of the system, or atleast I hope so. Check the videos:

The videos were posted by the new Voice of S60, Saara Bergstörm.
