Well, that's all. Symbian and MeeGo fate, confirmed the new partners of Nokia and Microsoft on Friday morning and the phone is Windows
The highly anticipated new came just days after word leaked an internal memo from CEO of Nokia, Stephen Elop, who compared the precarious position on top of Nokia wireless world of a man standing in a "flat engraving "multiple explosions in the greatest success out of control smart Apple iPhone and Google Android OS to erupt around him. The only way to survive, "said Elop disclosed in the notes, jumping on the" ice water "below.
Freezing water, as it turns out to be the Microsoft Windows platform nascent phone. (A kind of back-handed compliment, but hey-so.)
The details of the new "comprehensive strategic partnership" is very preliminary, Nokia, said an official blog on Friday, but make no mistake, we are not just a symbolic handshake and photo OPP here.
Alongside the agreement is a major overhaul of management, with Nokia ready to divide into two main businesses. The first "Smart Devices" the task of cranking a "winning Windows Phone portfolio and handling platforms and Symbian MeeGo soon-to-be-progressive. (Wait, MeeGo already endangered? Stay We will return in a moment.)
The second company, called "Mobile Devices", will focus on Nokia (yet solid) Series 40 handsets at low cost sharing, with Nokia trying to connect the 'next billion' would-be mobile users.
So what does this mean in terms of gadgets?
