Nokia is getting pretty serious about offering services to the consumer, but are they actually considering competing with Google? Taptu CEO Steve Ives, former VP of Business Development of Qualcomm Europe, went to Nokia House in Finland on September 11th to talk about their product:
Taptu is a new search engine, focused on providing the best mobile-friendly results. Since the company was founded in 2005, we’ve been looking for ways to make our own mobile life more interesting, colourful and user-friendly. We crawl the web and create handy little summaries, giving you a snapshot of the results without having to visit the site.
The service is in stealth right now, give them your email and you will be notified when you can try their product. I wish him the best of luck, especially considering the fact that he is advertising his search engine with a Sony Ericsson W880i.
