Nokia?


Not long back nokia announced that its its ditching its most successful software(for dumb phones atleast)-namely symbian..
But now as it is seen nokia is just not giving up easily on symbian.
first the announcement of windows 7 on nokia phones this year and then the release of N9! N9 runs meego and its another platform the company designed with intel which is based on linux platform. Hell its pure linux platform more so than say android..but since meego doesnt have an eco system they decided to end meego too...and this is their last device with that os.
it goes to prove that nokia is trying to showcase its design prowess and its brilliant hardware with N9..and now its just coming that nokia is releasing X7 this fall.
And believe it or not nokia is putting symbian anna to it! so we have nokia on one hand now and 3 platforms.
1)symbian(mostly dead)
2)meego(very promising and powerful but seeing its end in few months)
3)symbian anna(new symbian but guess its the same ol symbian with a bit of nic nacks here and there..)
4)windows 7 phone(newest one coming soon in future)
But it remains to be seen when they would release windows 7 phones.They seem very promising and probably could pose serious threat for ios or android..
Time will tell though....
