Nokia might be taking its own slogan literally after it emerged that the manfuacturer and Facebook – the two biggest players in their fields – are apparently in discussions to build the social networking site into Nokia handsets.
According to The Guardian, quoting the paidContent website, Nokia is looking at ways of putting a mobile version of the increasingly ubiquitous networking site on certain handsets.
Part of the deal will apparently see Nokia buy a stake in the company – a spokesman is quoted as saying that “a partnership is in the works”.
2007 has seen Nokia push hard on securing deals with non-mobile brands like Universal Music and promote its Ovi suite of mobile internet services, offered direct from its handsets.
Facebook does already offer a mobile version that offers limited functionality, but it’s expected that this deal will end up seeing a full version of Facebook accessed from a handset.
Great news if you’re a Facebook fanatic, but well, not, if you’re not.
