(InfoWorld) - Nokia will give away mapping software to its customers as well as users of Window Mobile devices. Phones based on Linux and older Nokia and MicrosoftÂ devices will be supported in the future, the Finnish mobile phone maker said Thursday. Mobile users can download the Smart2go maps that cover 150 countries and include 15 million points of interest, such as restaurants and accommodation. Users can store the map data on a memory card in the handset. The data can be downloaded over the air or via a connection to a PC. Users of phones with GPS (global positioning service) or with an external GPS module can subscribe to a turn-by-turn navigation service. Subscriptions come in a variety of packages so customers can pay for a week's worth of navigation services for use while on holiday. Prices vary based on the user's location but as an example, a one-week subscription for navigation services in Germany costs â¬6.49 ($8.43), one month is â¬7.99 and one year is â¬59.99. Nokia is trying to compete with the personal navigation device market but hopes to gain an edge in offering a different pricing model. While standalone navigation device makers typically charge users for the hardware and the maps up front, Nokia is giving the maps away and charging for the navigation services as users need it. In January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas,Â Nokia announcedÂ that it would start giving away maps to Nokia customers and offering a paid navigation service. Thursday's announcement includes compatibility with non-Nokia devices, details the pricing and sets the date -- Saturday -- when the free maps will become available. Nokia has begun focusing heavily on the location market. The Smart2go application comes from Gate5, the mapping and routing company thatÂ Nokia boughtÂ last year. In addition, Nokia last yearÂ acquired the exclusive rightsÂ to license and sublicense 700 GPS patents owned by Trimble Navigation. At the time, Nokia said that essentially every company offering a mobile navigation service would have to license the patents. Nokia introduced another free offering on Thursday, this one only for certain Nokia phones. Users of 16 Nokia devices, which include the N95, N93, N71, N62 and N60, can download a free application that lets them search for content on their handsets. Users can search for information in calendar entries, SMS messages and multimedia files. Â

Trolltech, a provider of software development platforms and frameworks, hopes to open up mobile application development to Web developers with support for WebKit.Trolltech plans to announce on Monday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that it has integrated QT, its development platform, with WebKit, the Web browser technology used by Apple, Nokia, Google, Motorola and others. The integration should make it easier for developers to build products that integrate online components into mobile phone applications.Trolltech, a Norwegian company that&#160;Nokia recently announced plans to buy, has integrated the tools so that developers can build the bulk of an application using HTML and the rest using C ++. By using HTML to create most of the application, handset makers can save development costs because C ++ engineers are typically harder to find and more expensive to use, said Benoit Schillings, CTO of Trolltech. However, they can still create some features using C ++, which offers more functionality and performance.A handset maker could decide to use HTML to create features that it might want to tweak to appeal to different audiences. For example, a handset maker may want to enlarge visual items on a page in a phone designed for older people, and they can adapt and customize those features quicker using HTML than C ++, Schillings said.Even though the applications may be primarily built using HTML, they don&#39;t have to be browser-based or require an Internet connection, he said. However, he envisions interesting ways to combine offline and online applications.For example, Trolltech has demonstrated an address book application that phone users can access without going online. The application collects information from a user&#39;s Facebook friends, adding photos or other new content from friends&#39; Facebook pages into their address book entry.The Qt WebKit integration will be available as a module in Qt 4.4, which is expected to come out in the second quarter.Trolltech also planned to release Qtopia Phone Edition version 4.3 in Barcelona, adding support for new features including touch-screens. The new Qtopia Synch Agent syncs data between Qtopia and Microsoft Outlook.&#160;
