Nokia aims to sell 35 million GPS enabled mobile devices this year
World’s largest mobile phone maker Nokia has said that they are aiming to sell as many as 35 Million GPS enabled mobile devices this year.
Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said in a statement: “We expect to ship about 35 million GPS-enabled Nokia devices in 2008, which is equal to the entire GPS device market in 2007.”
GPS on mobile devices is increasingly becoming more popular as more and more applications are available which uses the technology to provide innovating services.
Kallasvuo added: “When we look at it with the eyes we have now, when regarding pedestrian navigation, map services, digital maps, we are even more excited about the opportunities than when making the decision.”
Nokia is well prepared to achieve this aim as they recently acquired US based navigation firm Navteq. The deal is currently being reviewed by regulatory bodies.
