Google gains 40% search overnight!

With 4 out 10 phones beeing sold by Nokia, its pure math that Google will gain 40% more search on the mobile platform as they enter a collaboration on mobile search.

Nokia and Google today announced that Google’s popular search engine will be integrated with the Nokia Search application.  The integration will begin in select markets with the Nokia N96, Nokia N78, Nokia 6210 Navigator and Nokia 6220 classic. Google search will be extended to additional Nokia handset models in the future. Ultimately, Nokia will make Google search available to its customers in over 100 countries around the world, serving mobile owners speaking more than 40 languages.

Nokia Search, now with Google, offers fast and easy access to web information from the handset.  In addition, Nokia Search also makes it possible for users to search content on their device and use local search engines for a complete search experience.   Nokia Search is available on many devices and provides direct access with one click from the active standby screen, saving users time and steps in their searching.  Once users have found the information they are seeking, Nokia Search enables users to act on that information by engaging device assets such as maps, messaging or the browser with just one click.

The collaboration announced today builds on previous cooperation between Nokia and Google. Google search has previously been available on Nokia Internet tablets, and last year the Nokia N95 8GB became the first mobile device to fully support YouTube, the video-sharing platform owned by Google.

Nokia Search is available on more than 40 Nokia devices in over 40 languages and in more than 100 countries. For the latest list of compatible Nokia devices, please visit www.mobilesearch.nokia.com
