Bangalore: Nokia said on Friday it will acquire mobile analytics services firm Motally. The buyout of U.S.-based Motally, a small privately-held company, would help in boosting Nokia's mobile software offerings to developers and publishers.
Without disclosing the financial details, the Finnish cell phone maker in a statement said that the deal is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2010.
In recent months, Nokia has been snapping up some small companies and the latest was the buyout in April of a firm specializing in geographic intelligence solutions, MetaCarta.
The service offering of the company would be adapted for Qt, Symbian, Meego and Java developers, among others.
Motally employs a team of eight people. Nokia's Vice President (Media) Marco Argenti said the buyout underpins the company's focus on delivering in-application and mobile web browsing analytics to Ovi's global eco-system of developers and publishers.
