integrated services and data on any device," said Lee Williams, Senior
Vice President in Nokia's Devices software organization. "Nokia's
software strategy is based on cross-platform development environments,
enabling the creation of rich applications across the Nokia device
range. Nokia aims to support market leading and content rich internet
