Maemo team exec says Nseries will be Maemo-powered by 2012, Nokia denies
Nokia had a N900 meetup in London and some executive from the marketing team blurted out that Nokia will drop Symbian from Nseries devices by 2012, which was later debunked by the Finnish company as “completely premature”.
“While it is our policy not to disclose details of our product roadmap, we’d like to explicitly communicate that we remain firmly committed to Symbian as our smartphone platform of choice. Any speculation on what our 2012 roadmap, including operating systems and product branding, are completely premature.
As we have stated earlier, Nokia has multiple platforms to serve different purposes and address different markets. Symbian is more successful than ever in bringing smartphones to the masses. Maemo is our software of choice for devices based on technology that you’d typically find inside a desktop computer. It delivers a different user experience and enables us to widen the market we can address.”
Although the official statement was expected, Maemo-powered Nseries devices make perfect sense. Nokia says Maemo software is made for devices that we’d associate with a computer and Nseries phones are, in fact, marketed like one (N97 was marketed as a computer in your pocket).
Nseries is the top-of-the-line range for Nokia and dedicating the best is the only way to go if Nokia wants to give a decent fight to iPhone and the likes.
