GLOBAL – The other day Charlie wrote asking about whether Nokia was still in the phone business. He looked at a bunch of stuff, but selling advertising wasn’t on there. But it should have been.

ESPOO, Finland – Nokia has many ways in which it works with customers on products (here is a great overview). The folks at Nokia Beta Labs are constantly finding software and services that are being developed and many in internal testing with employees (though our Alpha Labs team, of course). When they find something interesting, they put them in the Beta Labs for the public to use, rate, comment on, and help improve. And, beta products that do well end up graduating and going off into the world.
