True. Social software/services is quite difficult to get right (just look at the “Web 2.0″ sites that have already come and gone) though, so perhaps Nokia has decided to try it out in several fronts to get at least one or two right. As Tommi Vilkamo noted on his blog (comments section), probably the best strategy for Nokia would be to not follow “walled gardens” approach, but at the same time see if it can itself put out the most compelling offering. For many users, simplicity and seamless integration in the end are the things that matter (Apple anyone?).

I would agree that the gate5 acquisition followed by smart2go for free and the AGPS rollout is solid. In social software however they seem to be moving in parallel on a few fronts — I hope it’s not too many things to manage a successful future service.

One should bear in mind that its not necessarily the Twango as it is now that Nokia wants. They bought a company, its assets and human capital as well, i.e. they may want to use it for something that may look something quite different.

Anyway, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

What they have done so far with maps2go is great though. I hope they will do something as cool with the other acquisitions.

For us… many carriers make it difficult to find the real web beyond their walled garden of services and site partnerships.
