Nokia going with MeeGo over Symbian
Nokia has selected the Linux-based MeeGo mobile operating system over its Symbian OS for all upcoming high-end smartphones, effectively admitting that Symbian was not in a position to ever truly rival the iPhone or Android devices.
CNET says the N8 will be the last N-series smartphone to use Symbian.
“Going forward, N-series devices will be based on MeeGo,” said a spokesman.
Symbian will still be installed on low and mid-end phones from the world’s largest phone maker, however.
Nokia has spent many millions on developing the Symbian OS, only to see their smartphone market share deteriorate thanks to Apple and Android.
MeeGo was created earlier this year, a merged effort by Nokia and Intel, mixing their Maemo and Moblin operating systems.
