Yahoo announces a partnership agreement with Nokia in Monday

Beijing time May 21 Evening News, according to foreign media reports, today Yahoo sent a letter inviting reporters to participate in the Monday news conference in New York, but did not disclose specific content.　　The announcement will announce a partnership agreement between Yahoo and Nokia, sources said. The invitation was rather vague and wrote: "Welcome to this press conference, Yahoo CEO Bartz Carol Bartz will make an exciting statement about providing global consumers with a rich online and mobile experience, and bring a new era of close connection between the cost of maintenance." "It will be announced that handset maker Nokia will integrate Yahoo email, search and other applications and services into a range of products that the company produces," the source said.　　Although Yahoo and Nokia had previously negotiated the production of a Yahoo theme phone, sources said the announcement would not include this. The project, dubbed the "Nike Project" (Nike), a non-sneakers brand, has been around two companies for years, but has not been successful.　　In the meantime, Google and Apple are catching up from behind, becoming the focus of the smartphone market. Although Yahoo has launched a number of mobile initiatives, and with a number of operators and telecommunications equipment manufacturers to reach a partnership, but many failed.　　Analysts point out that, in the absence of an autonomous mobile phone or mobile operating system, Yahoo is difficult to foothold in the smartphone sector.　　Nokia is the world's largest handset manufacturer, but its products are mostly not smart mobile phones, Nokia also faced with the pace of innovation in the industry to maintain competitiveness in the changing market challenges.　　Yahoo also bought 90 million of dollars this week for associated content, an emerging web-material company.　　Industry insiders point out that while the Nokia-Yahoo deal will attract a lot of attention, the real decision on the future of the partnership is concrete enforcement capabilities, especially if two companies are in a slump.　　A source said: "Nokia recently launched some of the unpopular mobile phones, and Yahoo released some unpopular mobile services, perhaps two companies to work together to create some valuable things." Yahoo declined to comment, and Nokia has yet to respond to a request for comment. (Zeng Mu)
