Nokia’s New Direction
Nokia is adding to its interesting mobile content biz plays. They have seen the future of handsets, and they know that they are a player but a more and more marginalized one. The real attention goes to Apple, Google and other Internet masters.
But Nokia is able to bankroll a second career as a mobile content player. They have bought Navteq and Symbian. The latest move is buying mobile messaging company, Oz. They are also on the lookout for new investments like their latest in Zvents. This new career of theirs is very bold. It will be great to watch how it goes. If anyone can do it, it is Nokia. After all, they made most of the phones that these new mobile services will need to run on.
