Using Twango, customers will be able to upload and share photos, videos, music, and more.
The Finnish mobile phone giant Nokia recently purchased the media-sharing site Twango as part of its new strategy aimed at bringing file-sharing to its mobile phone users.
Beginning sometime by the first half of next year, Nokia plans to have the P2P technology behind Twango incorporated in all of its Nokia handsets, according to Kari Tuutti, communications manager at Nokia Multimedia.
“Social networking and media sharing are important parts of Nokia’s future,” he said, and “there could easily be further acquisitions.”
Twango, which which first went online in October 2006, providers subscribers with a monthly bandwidth of up to 250MB that can be used to upload photos, videos, music, and other personal media. Non-suscribers are able to browse the content for free.
Nokia will now be able to offer people an easy way to share content through their desktop and mobile devices.
“The Twango acquisition is a concrete step towards our consumer Internet services vision of providing seamless access to information, entertainment, and social networks – at any time, anywhere, from any connected device, in any way that you choose. We have the most complete suite of connected multimedia experiences including music, navigation, games, and – with the Twango acquisition – photos, videos, and a variety of document types,” said Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Multimedia, Nokia.
“When you combine a Nokia N-series multimedia computer that is always on, always connected, and always with you together with a rich media sharing destination like Twango, people will have exciting new ways to create and enjoy rich media experiences in real time.”
With the announcement that uTorrent mUI BETA for mobile phones is expected to be released sometime near midnight(GMT-8) tonight, this news from Nokia adds an extra bit of excitement for file-sharing fans with mobile phones.
Though slightly different in terms of content and usage, it still points to an exciting trend of increased media availability and selection while on the go.

The filesharing era will never come to an end. I cant believe its on phones now too! Its great to see filesharing increasing rapidly even after its massive decrease in active nettworks and clients like EDonkey 2000 iMesh WinMX and BearShare. Way to go people keep up the sharing and show the MPAA and RIAA what people can do!
