Mobile location-based services revenues will reach 622 million in Europe by 2010 says Berg Insight

The new report that was published today gives a the complete picture of the European Mobile LBS market.

Revenues from mobile location-based services (LBS) in the European market will grow by 34 percent annually to reach ? 622 million in 2010, according to a new report from the research firm Berg Insight. Johan Fagerberg, senior analyst at Berg Insight, said that the market is picking up speed through successful launches of mobile personal navigation services and location based billing plans in several European countries. "Nokia's recent acquisition of Gate5 is an evident example of the importance mobile industry players attach to navigation", said Johan. "We expect GPS-enabled handsets with preinstalled navigation software to become available from the leading brands on the European market very soon." Berg Insight forecasts that navigation will account for 48 percent of mobile LBS revenues in 2010.

Nokia N95 inkl. GPS & Smart2go



Die kürzlich bekannt gegebene Übernahme der deutschen Softwareschmiede Gate5 durch Nokia zeigt erste Ergebnisse: Das Navigationsprogramm Smart2go von Gate5 ist auf dem neuen Handy N95 ebenso bereits ab Werk enthalten wie ein GPS-Empfänger. Überhaupt dürfte das Gerät wohl das neue Flaggschiff von Nokia sein: 5-Megapixel-Kamera mit Zeiss-Optik, Video-Wiedergabe und Aufnahme bei QVGA-Qualität, HSDPA oder WLAN sind hier nur ein paar Appetithäppchen.
