Nokia announced its new strategic partnership with Microsoft.
Nokia is going to use Windows 7 as its primary development platform for its smartphones. No timelines has been announced when the new Nokia windows phone will be available. The first Windows 7 phones has been available in the US from Nov 2010. This is still a new platform which was not very well received in the US as yet.
Meanwhile this development has not going too well with MeeGo fans. MeeGo is the development platform run mainly by Nokia and Intel. Nokia's intent to use MeeGo phone for "learning" puts the program in doubt. Nokia was the front runner in the development of this platform. For a platform to be successful the entire ecosystem around the platform has to be developed. For learning purposes it is not sure how the ecosystem will be developed.
Intel isnt happy with this decision of its partner Nokia, however maintains to its stand to ship a mobile with intel chipset running MeeGo late this year. Intel is planning to get into the mobile space with its chipsets with the launch of MeeGo.
How do you like this decision of Nokia to go with WP7 as the primary platform for smartphones. Hit the comments.
