Nokia just bought Novarra, who according to the press release is a privately owned company of over 100 people based out of Chicago. This blurb is also attached:

Novarra, the Internet Mobility company, provides high performance mobile internet browsers and platforms for operators, handset manufacturers and internet brands to create new services and revenue streams for smartphones, features phones and mobile broadband devices. The solutions deliver a high quality mobile user experience for services including full rich web browsing, search, widgets, apps, video and advertising. Global, commercial deployments over eight years have proven consumer satisfaction, uptake and increased data service revenues. http://www.novarra.com/

I’d love to go to Novarra.com, read about everything they do, contact some of their public relations people, but I can’t since their website is down.

I’m guessing the company is so good at making mobile web browsers and mobile web services that making sure their desktop site works is irrelevant.

Their work speaks for itself.

    Microsoft had bought Groove Office – so what?
    They just killed it, not to look stupid with their own MS Orifice.
    I hate how MS Orifice behaves – stinks of 80s, not wysiwig page composing. No drag-n-drop in picture placement; deleting a part of text of caret returns may screw your styles and placement seriously – it behaves like a bomb in hands of monkey.
    Every corpo citizen got pwned (got used to wryness) and they do not see that The King Is Naked.

    I just tried their app/web server, what ever you wish to call it on my 9700 Blackberry and was not to happy, BB already has a Facebook app, Twitter app soon, search engine. I just fine that it is another app that is not different but the same, maybe its time to re-invent a new wheel, not just another colour for the wheel

    The Novarra website is working fine.

    Their website is up now.

    Perhaps they had to modify something because of the buyout.
