Each day Microsoft’s search engine, Bing becomes more and more popular. It refers to all the features of this software, and Bing Maps is not an exception. Nokia couldn’t ignore this fact and the company’s last announcement shows its cooperation with Microsoft is not one-way. A number of people think Microsoft has done Nokia a favor by launching its OS on the manufacturer’s smartphones, but in fact it’s not so. Stephen Elop announced Nokia branding will appear on all Bing Maps properties in the near future, and this statement proves Nokia doesn’t play a secondary role in this game.
So all handsets featuring Bing Maps will have Nokia branding on the maps themselves. This will be spread on all manufacturers and all devices, thus say BlackBerry, which announced its products will use Bing Maps, will have the Finnish manufacturer’s logo.
In an interview with Pocket-lint Stephen Elop said, “You’ll start seeing the word ‘Nokia’ on a map that you get from Microsoft properties over a period of time. Even if you are on a BlackBerry device, who recently said they were going to start using Bing Maps. In the time ahead, what you will see is, across all the Microsoft properties including Bing maps, more and more work will be done by Nokia.”
Well, this is a bit surprising for those who are unaware of what company Nokia is and what kind of CEO Stephen Elop is. So enough of spreading such fake stories as Microsoft is going to buy Nokia or Nokia is dying! This phone maker is not a simple company, but a system, which works very well. There are some falls, but which company doesn’t face them?
