Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) has teamed up with Nokia Corp. (NOK) to
provide mapping services for its new Kindle Fire, Reuters news
agency reported Thursday on its website, citing two unnamed
sources.
Amazon will also add location capabilities to the new Kindle
Fire, which needs either a GPS chip or a process known as WiFi
triangulation, the report quoted the sources as saying.
The Internet retailer is set to release at least one new version
of the Kindle Fire next Thursday, according to the report.
A Nokia spokesman declined comment, while an Amazon spokeswoman
didn't respond to requests for comment, the report said.
