Nokia is trying to attract developers to their new cell phones and is nice enough to host a "workshop" in SF during CTIA .  "Nokia helps third-party developers connect to rich domains like the enterprise in many ways - providing the leading mobile end-to-end development platforms, a full portfolio of devices that support JavaTM, MIDP 2.0, Symbian OS (which drives the powerful Series 60 and Series 80 Platforms), secure communications and centralized device management."  ... which is all nice.  The problem is that when you try to register for their workshop they mention:  "If you have not previously completed an NDA, you will be directed to a page where you can either accept or reject the term ...

(InfoWorld) - Nokia plans to fold all its mobile phone development efforts into a single new business unit, reflecting the growing importanceÂ of its business of multimedia and Internet-enabled devices. The new Device unit, as it will be called, will produce all of Nokia's mobile devices, including more traditional mobile phones, as well as Internet-enabled devices like the N series. The products were previously produced by three separate divisions, for mobile phones, multimedia, and enterprise solutions. As part of the reorganization Nokia will also create two other new divisions, called Software & Services, and Markets, to replace its existing structure. The divisions will all be launched on Jan. 1, 2008, the company announced Wednesday. "When we introduced the [current] structure in early 2004, the market was still very voice centric at the time," said Nokia spokeswoman Arja Suominen. "The other areas were small but have grown much since then. So it makes sense to bring all these together in one unit." Nokia said the changes will help to make its product development and manufacturing operations more effective and reduce the time it takes to bring new products to market. "This isn't a cost-cutting exercise," Suominen said. "We seek greater efficiency." The move comes as Nokia faces new low-cost challengers from Asia, as well as markets with high levels of phone penetration in developed countries. The current enterprise solutions unit will be split up, with business phones such as the E90 Communicator and the E61 smart phone to be merged into the device unit, and enterprise systems such as e-mail and security to be rolled into the services & software unit. The services & software unit will also be in charge of all software products, including games, and Internet services, including navigation and music, that consumers can purchase separately. Operating system software, such as the Series 60 OS, will be part of the device unit. The device and services & software units will have their own research and development (R&D) teams. The Nokia Research Center will continue to pursue long-term research at the corporate level. The third new unit, markets, comprises manufacturing, distribution, sales and marketing. The changes will also be reflected in Nokia's financial reporting. Beginning next year it will publish financial figures for two segments: devices & services andÂ Nokia Siemens Networks. Nokia joined forces with Germany's Siemens last year to form the joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks. The new device unit will be headed by Kai ÃistÃ¤mÃ¶, who is currently in charge of Nokia's mobile phones business group. Niklas Savander, currently in charge of technology platforms, will head the services & software unit. The markets unit will be the responsibility of Anssi Vanjoki, who is currently heading the multimedia business group.

(InfoWorld) - Idea Cellular, a large mobile services company in India, has introduced a push e-mail service, called Easy Mail, for users of its GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) service. Easy Mail is a clientless service with which any individual or enterprise subscriber can access e-mail via MMS (multimedia messaging service) on their handsets, the company said Tuesday. Critical Path, a messaging software and services vendor in San Francisco, provided the new service's technology. India has been adding about 6 million mobile subscribers each month. But because of a decline in phone-call tariffs, the average revenue per user (ARPU) has been falling for service providers. Service providers are looking at services other than telephony, such as e-mail and music downloads, to boost revenue. E-mail on mobile phones is one of a number of value-added services Idea Cellular plans to offer, in an effort to give customers more options and raise ARPU, said Pradeep Shrivastava, chief marketing officer of Idea Cellular on Tuesday. Hutchison Essar, a mobile service provider in India, announced this month the availability of BlackBerry handsets from Research in Motion (RIM) in Waterloo, Ontario, and related push e-mail services. Another large Indian mobile services provider, Bharti Airtel of Delhi, has been offering BlackBerry handsets and push e-mail services for the last couple of years. Idea Cellular decided to go in for a software approach to push e-mail, as it has adopted a strategy that does not depend on the type of handset a user has, Shrivastava said. Any user with a GPRS handset can use the Easy Mail service, which is the not the case with the RIM technology, he added. With a customer base of over 12 million, Idea Cellular has operations in a number of states in India. Idea Cellular has been offering push e-mail services to corporate customers, using technology that required its service to be integrated with the corporate e-mail system, Shrivastava said. The new Easy Mail technology does not, however, require corporate e-mail system integration, and Idea Cellular can offer push e-mail service to any GPRS user, he added. E-mail on mobile phones is, however, still a nascent market in India, and Idea Cellular does not immediately expect large demand from its current user base. Only about one-third of its users currently have GPRS handsets, and not a lot of these users see e-mail service as a priority, Shrivastava said.
