ESPOO, Finland-Nokia Corp.’s Mobile Search platform will incorporate Microsoft Corp.’s Live Search capabilities to streamline mobile information searches onseries smart phones-now “multimedia computers,” in Nokia’s parlance-and select S60 platform devices in various markets, the Finnish handset vendor announced.
Mobile Search resides on Nokia devices’ menu, allowing users to get results quicker than if they had to use the phone’s Web browser to first locate an Internet service provider’s page to launch a search. Microsoft’s Windows Live Search is designed to facilitate information searches across various platforms and allow users to create preferences for the pages they often visit, personalizing their search habits.
The announcement did not specify the markets in which Live Search would be available.
