Yahoo to power Nokia's mail, chat services
Tuesday, 25 May 2010, 08:06 IST
Bangalore: As the latest change to Nokia's Ovi Internet services, the mobile
mail and chat services of Nokia will be powered by Yahoo from later this year.
Adding to it, Yahoo's maps and navigation services on PCs will be provided by
Nokia.
Nokia now owns Navteq, a mapping services company. Using Nokia's Navteq mapping
services, Yahoo will be able to improve its map offerings.
According to Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO of Nokia, the partnership with Yahoo
will help Nokia to extend its market in the U.S., where, despite being the
biggest seller of phones in the planet, it has only a tiny market share.
A variety of Ovi-branded Web services, with 9 million customers around the
world, were started by Nokia a few years ago. Though it has attracted some mail
users, it stopped its social networking application and photo-sharing service,
According to both the companies, though some of the services will be available
in the latter half of 2010, global availability is expected only in 2011.
