Nama Hotel - Yahoo and Nokia formed a team to improve the mobile Internet service offerings in order to catch up and regain lost share due to take rival Apple and Google. At the beginning of the second half of 2010, Yahoo will handle email on your Nokia Ovi exclusively. In return Nokia will provide maps and navigation for Yahoo.
Hotel di Hong Kong - In a press conference at New York, the company underlines the importance of expanding services in fast growing markets, where users use their phones into the main device for accessing the web.

"Location, map and navigation will get a lot of exchange of ideas so they can achieve more attention in the United States and users in the North American market," Kallasvuo said. "This is one step to take a stronger position in the United States."
The role of mobile services and software have become more important since Apple and Google entered the mobile market, forcing traditional handsets such as Nokia and Samsung are rushing to make new creations.
Nokia has spent more than U.S. $ 10 billion (Rp93, 35 trillion) to build new business with the Internet service programs ranging from music to download email, but it only won the hearts of some users.
Not much different, Yahoo lost market share from Google, where Android operating system used by many vendors to HTC phones from Motorola.
