Nokia teams up with Six Apart for mobile blogging

nokia-n93i.jpgAnother interesting partnership from CES was Nokia and Six Apart, after the handset maker agreed to preload SA's Vox Mobile application on its new N93i handset, and other Nseries phones going forward.

As a hardened Vox user, this is good news, but it makes me wonder what Nokia's approach to moblogging is from now on. Does this mean its focus has shifted away from its own Lifeblog application? Or will Nokia sign similar deals with other blogging companies, to have a suite of applications sitting on its handsets when users get them out of the box?

I'm a big fan of Vox Mobile, and the demo I saw of it running on the N93i last week was slick and effective. It'll be interesting to see how other blogging firms and handset manufacturers roll out similar partnerships in the coming months - Sony Ericsson already tied up with Blogger last year, but hasn't shouted about it much since then.
