SILVER SPRING, MD – Nokia will be pre-loading content from Discovery Communications on its newest mobile devices, the two companies announced.
The Nokia N92 mobile device and Nokia 700 Internet Tablet will contain a “best of Discovery” montage clip featuring landscapes, animals, sunrises, and city scenes.
Discovery has already deployed content for mobile devices with 21 carriers in 11 countries, launched direct-to-consumer WAP portals in the United Kingdom and Asia as well as a broadband portal in the U.K., and rolled out video on demand with 20 carriers in 10 countries.
“Cooperating with Nokia, which is widely recognized as one of the most innovative companies in the world, allows Discovery to bring its high quality content to consumers wherever they are, whenever they want it,” said Discovery’s Donald A. Baer, Senior Executive Vice President for Strategy & Development. “The worldwide appeal, utility and flexibility of Discovery’s content make it a great fit for on-the-go applications.”
“Discovery Communications is an ideal partner in cooperation to show the world the very best of what both companies have to offer: engaging and knowledge-based information on sophisticated and innovative devices,” said Ilkka Raiskinen, Nokia’s Senior Vice President, Multimedia Experiences. “This collaboration allows Nokia to continue its leadership in mobile communications as we find better and smarter ways to connect people to our partners’ information and entertainment services.”
