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.
