Nokia is the market leader in India in mobile phones and one of the most leading brands in the world. Recently, the Finnish company has launched a new mobile platform called Ovi which means door in Finnish. With the lauch of Ovi it is quite clear that Nokia is quite serious about content distribution on mobile platform and concentrating on Mobile value added services(VAS). Nokia is in the process of offer mobisodes (viewing television on mobile) soon and it has partnered with few content developers in this regard. Nokia already has a download store along with music, gaming, maps etc and with Ovi they are bringing all the scattered services under one umbrella. For example, you can download the Nokia PC suite free of cost.
The Ovi site is accessable from two addresses - http://ovi.nokia.com/services/ or http://www.ovi.com/services/. It offers maps, calender, music, pictures all at one place and you can share them too with whom you like. You can seamlessly integrate your internet enabled mobile phone and your PC (computer) using the Ovi suite.
Google recently announced in their official blog that they are going to scan all old newspapers by partnering with the publishers and will convert them to e-papers in their original format. They will be accessible online and will be searchable at http://news.google.com/archivesearch. Earlier, the only medium of information was newspapers before radio and television. So there are tons of info which are now out of our reach. Once these info are made accessible online, we can put our hands on valuable info and can check precisely what was the news on a particular day.

There are few others like Microsoft Live search, Ask etc. Cuil launched by few former Google employees intend to position it as an alternative to Google search engine. Amazingly, the very first day Cuil server crashed due to overwhelming response. There are many flaws starting from poor search results to under rated interface. Citicism has been piling by heaps and bounds. Though, Cuil had pointed only two major issues hindering the search engine as of now.
Cuil claims to have the largest index of websites with 120 billion pages - in the world. But it is no where near google. Cuil has to do a lot of catching. I know Cuil is new and a comparision with well Google may not be fair. However, market and business dynamics will not see what is fair, it will just see which is better. If Cuil can improve quickly, it will have a chance to stand or just fade away.
