Nokia’s head of devices Kai Öistämö just stood up and said we should expect to see no less than 10 GPS-enabled devices appear over the coming year. Looks like the Nok is ready to start making use of that little mapping company it’s buying.

We couldn’t get any kind of detail on what sort of devices to expect, but we can be pretty sure a touchscreen model will be one of them. We should also expect GPS to hit more mid-range handsets before very long.

US localisation shopping mashup service Slifter was also worthy of a mention, indicating the possibility of both it coming to Europe and also potentially being another potential Nokia target. Yes, the Nok is still busy buying up Internet companies – it’s just bought Avvenu to bolster it’s rapidly growing OVI service.

The future’s looking rather rosy for the Nok.
