Nokia completes Trolltech acquisition

Following the approval by the European Commission, Nokia today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Trolltech.

Nokia got both the technology (software assets) and the people, who will “play an important role in accelerating the implementation of Nokia’s software strategy.” The idea is to accelerate the cross-platform software strategy for mobile devices and desktop applications, and develop Internet services business.

As of today (June 17, 2008), Oslo Stock Exchange will delist Trolltech ASA.

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.
