Please can you translate this into plain English?

- Why is Nokia ramping down Nokia Sports Tracker beta?
The question here refers to the spin-off from Nokia as Sports Tracker was part of Nokia Research project.
Then from the rests of the words you have mentioned, there are two key words: vertical service and horizontal offerings.
In short, 'vertical service' by Sports Tracker Beta means all the research works in a cycle that can be run from top to bottom, and in this case there is an ending phase.
'Horizontal offerings' is yet another kind of service, and the most significant difference is most likely this service is a continuous service with refined business strategies from time to time.
Hope my answer is understandable.

@Mass - The import was a separate step in the pre-registration process for me at least.

Great! Nokia Sports Tracker was the only thing keeping me from moving from Nokia to HTC/Android.
I guess I'll move to HTC shortly then.
