Nokia is one of these companies of which you don't expect to move into another field but the cellphone business. But Nokia looks beyond it's horizon and expands into the Web world.

Not so long ago, the company has bought Widsets, a site that offers mobile rss widgets that work perfectly on mobile phones. And they've taken things even further with the acquisition of media sharing portal Twango.
