Nokia Signs with CNN and Sony for Mobile Video

Reuters is reporting that Nokia just signed video deals with seven companies, including CNN and Sony Pictures, to stream video content to their cell phones.

“Consumer desire to watch Internet videos on mobile devices is growing all the time and we want to help users discover and access the best content in the simplest way possible,” Harri Mannisto, director at Nokia’s multimedia unit, said on Tuesday in the report.

While Nokia is #4 in cell phone sales in the U.S., it retains the number one position for global handset sales.
