Nokia's Here, a platform that provides mapping and location-aware services, could be expanding to iOS and Android.
Nokia has posted job listings on LinkedIn seeking software engineers with specialties in Android and iOS. The job postings say that the employees will "design and build advanced location-based services applications for the Android and iOS platforms."
Nokia Here has been available on Windows Phone since the company made a deal with Microsoft to use that operating system exclusively on its high-end devices. Now that Nokia has sold off its Devices business to Microsoft, however, its software side can do whatever it wants, and that might mean producing programs for iOS and Android.
It's not clear from the job listings exactly what Nokia has in store for its iOS and Android apps, but rumors have been swirling for months that the company was thinking of bringing Here to other operating systems. The job listings seem to prove it.
CNET has contacted Nokia for comment. We will update this story when we have more information.
