Few days after Sony Ericsson announced a collaboration with Google, Nokia and Baidu.com, the leading Chinese language Internet search provider (partly owned by Google), and Nokia today announced that they are collaborating to make mobile search easier and more convenient in Chinese-speaking markets.
As a result of this collaboration between Baidu and Nokia, users of the Nokia Mobile Search Application on the high-end Nokia N70, Nokia N90 and other select Symbian OS S60 Nokia devices, will be able to access Baidu wireless search services via a search icon on the screen.
Four of Baidu’s most popular services, including Web Search, News Search, Image Search and Baidu Post Bar, a popular Baidu online community invented by Baidu, are provided in the application.
Finally, a free download of this pilot application will be available from today for select Nokia devices in mainland China from www.nokia.com/mobilesearch.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
