Only a year ago, Nokia announced a new mobile phone operating system, and finally contemporary. But now rumors say: This is nothing. The system, known as Meego is set. Nokia has given up any hope? This is announced in any case. According to a report of Wednesday, the Finnish mobile phone company is not much hope of success with its own new operating system.
The information comes from informed sources, according to Reuters. Accordingly, two people would have said from the environment of the industry, Nokia has stopped the development of a new mobile phone with the operating system Meego. Such a move would be a major event in the Group's strategy.
Almost exactly a year ago Nokia had announced her plans in conjunction with the chip-maker Intel at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The plan: The Linux projects the two companies, Moblin and Maemo, should be interwoven with the title Meego to a new, cross-platform software. The goal of the collaboration is to create a universal operating system that runs on mobile phones as well on netbooks, tablets, and even on TV's and cars.
If you look at the design, the roadmap for the development of Meego, is also managed. Ready Meego versions for all target platforms are available, two more updates planned for this year. A significant impact has not been. So passed Nokia's annual developer conference without a Meego announcement, which many observers had expected.
If you look today, the beginning of February, according to the Meego website, you will find there exactly one series mobile phone on which the software can be installed: Nokia's N900. Analysts had expected Nokia could show an unfinished Meego device later this week at an event in London or a few days later in Barcelona.
At the same time increase but also reports that Nokia will phone with Android operating system, or even imagine with Microsoft's Windows Mobile 7th Whether the latter would be a smart move is controversial. Finally, Microsoft's mobile phone system started not very successful. Symbian will not have expected much more, one thing the rumors swirling through the network effect: In Nokia's for many years maintained operating system called Symbian is no one great hope.
Android Nokias do, however, at least the system operator is also, writes the Financial Times in its Monday edition. Naturally, after all, Nokia's system is still, especially in the non-smart phones, a loyal following. And also Nokia with Symbian is one of the few counterpoints to the smartphone supremacy of Android and iPhone.
Then Nokia CEO Stephen Elop will unveil his strategy, which he wants to stay Nokia's decline. Whether in his scenario, there is still room for Meego, or whether the Ex-Microsoft Manager Windows Mobile 7 or even Android are represented, is a question that the far-reaching effects on the cell phone industry will have.
Because, at least for now the Finns are still the largest mobile phone company in the world. In order to remain so, will the new chief executive Stephen Elop on Friday to present a new strategy for the Group. "Our platform is burning," Elop had had critically announced with reference to the success of rival Apple.
With the dramatic image of an oil rig on fire, he called in his staff for the jump from high altitude in cold water - for radical changes in the Group.
