Discovery Communications and Nokia announced a global collaboration that will deliver to consumers Discovery’s high quality, knowledge-based content pre-loaded onto Nokia’s mobile devices.
In the first phase the consumers will have access to a Discovery-produced “Best of Discovery” montage clip on the Nokia N92 mobile device and Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. The Discovery-branded clip will include inspiring and engaging video of nature shots such as landscapes, animals and sunrises as well as city scenes.
