According to a leading Business newspaper from Germany, we get to hear that Nokia could be set to ditch Symbian as its main smartphone OS in favour of Maemo Linux.
The newspaper quotes that a source “close to Nokia” as saying, “Symbian is much too cumbersome to keep up with modern operating systems. We have to react.”
The article says Nokia wants to keep up with the leaner, meaner operating systems boasted by the iPhone, BlackBerry phones and Android-based phones - and is willing to dump the aging, relatively awkward Symbian platform in order to do so - despite having just completed its €264m acquisition of Symbian four months ago.
We know that the Linux-based Maemo platform used by Nokia’s Internet tablets was going to be introduced in several smartphones in the near future but does that mean it would leave back Symbian?
Nokia has so far stated that it would not want to comment on speculations. Rest, need to wait and see!
