In its latest attempt to gain ground in the mobile internet wars, Nokia has acquired US browser firm Novarra. It will acquire 100% of the privately-held Chicago-based firm, one of the first companies to develop a handset browser.Novarra’s mobile browser and services platform will be used by Nokia to deliver enhanced internet experiences on Nokia mobile devices.Novarra would be deployed on Nokia’s mid-range Series 40 platform, not its top-end Series 60 OS. Novarra has a long history as a browser developer, supplying one of the first ever to the Palm PDA. Nokia said a new service using the Novarra platform would be available later this year. Research firm Gartner predicts that 85% of handsets shipped by 2011 will contain some kind of web browser. Source: Telecomasia
