Nokia Embeds Live Search Services into its Mobile Search Platform
Espoo, Finland - Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today announced that it has reached
an agreement with Microsoft to integrate Live Search capabilities into
its Mobile Search platform, thus enabling consumers access to Live
Search directly from their Nokia Nseries multimedia computers and other
compatible Nokia S60 devices. Live Search will provide advanced web
search results in 14 languages to enable on-the-go access to the
information and content consumers want most.
Microsoft will provide advanced search results for web search, as well
as quick and easy access to information such as stock quotes, movie
times, and common facts via Encarta Instant Answers*. The Mobile Search
experience from Nokia allows users to find search results more quickly
than by using the browser and finding the web page of an internet search
provider, since in many cases search will be accessible directly from
the menu screen.
"Adding the advanced searching capabilities of Microsoft's Live Search
to our Mobile Search platform provides our customers with unique and
powerful new ways to search the internet on their multimedia computers
and many other compatible Nokia mobile devices," commented Ralph Eric
Kunz, vice president, Multimedia Experiences. "The Mobile Search
platform is dedicated towards creating a user experience that is easy to
access and optimally integrated into other functions of the device. "
"We are pleased to provide advanced Live Search services to enhance the
search experience on Nokia's S60 handsets," said John DeVitis, product
unit manager of Live Search for mobile at Microsoft Corp. "Live Search
offers consumers unprecedented control and personalization giving them
easy access to searching the web plus targeted instant information from
their mobile devices."
The Mobile Search application is expected to be available in select
markets in the standard sales packs of the Nokia N80 Internet Edition,
Nokia N73, Nokia N93, Nokia N70, Nokia N71, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680, and
Nokia 6681, it is also offered as a free download for select Nokia S60
devices from www.nokia.com/mobilesearch.
*Availability of Encarta Instant Answers varies by market.
