Nokia To Grow Software & Services Side

Nokia in the last few year or so has made no secret it wants to become more of an internet company rather than just a handset manufacturer and with this press release it seems finally the clogs are in action.
Nokia aims to expand their Services and Software divisions to give more attention in delivering er... more Service and Software to the consumer.
This year we plan to hire more people into the Services & Software unit than the number of affected employees, so we expect that many employees will be able to transition to new jobs within Nokia," said Niklas Savander, Executive Vice President, Services & Software. "We have made great progress with the initial offering this year and I see great potential going forward as we bring context aware Internet services to people's pockets. These changes will strengthen our offerings and enable us to accelerate the delivery of new Internet experiences to market.
So there you go, Nokia isn't just a handset manufacturer any more, it is becoming an internet company. Let's see what they can bring out - hopefully start with a UI facelift for the S60?
