What's In A Name? That Which We Call Qt, By Any Other Name Would Code As
Well...

| Renaming a company can be a torturous process. Developing the new brand, 
| getting the word out, and answering questions can be long and grueling, and 
| at least some customers are bound to be upset, and possibly quite vocal about 
| it. Not everyone is willing to brave these waters, though Nokia obviously is, 
| as it announced today the renaming of its corporate Qt division, Qt Software.

Nokia to cull Symbian from smartphones?

,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia smartphones may soon be shipped running the phone giant's Linux-based
| Maemo operating system instead of Symbian, it has been claimed.
|
| Maemo â also known as the Internet Tablet OS â has been around since 2005 and
| was originally designed for Nokiaâs family of handheld internet gadgets.
|
| Now a report by the Financial Times Deutschland has hinted that Nokia is
| preparing to drop Symbian from its smartphones, in favour of Maemo. The
| paperâs source is unclear.

Nokia RX-51 Tablet Captured in the Wild

,----[ Quote ]
| The N900, as we are calling it now, can be termed an upgrade over the N97.
| The device features a full QWERTY keyboard and a huge 3.5-inch touch screen
| capable of WVGA resolution (800x480). It is expected to run the upcoming
| Maeomo5 OS, the latest version of the Linux based smartphone OS that Nokia
| uses for its lineup of tablet devices. That, we believe, would be the major
| difference between this one and the N97 which runs on the more "mass market"
| Series 60 Fifth Edition OS.

Nokia turning to Android for new phone?

| device is claimed by the Guardian to be later in development and likely to be

Nokia to release a netbook?

,----[ Quote ]
| All this begs the question of which OS platform would Nokia choose? The N810
| runs on a Linux variant known as Maemo, which includes a Nokia-developed
| Gnome application framework dubbed Hildon.
|
| Hildon in turn has been adopted by Ubuntu for their Intel-endorsed Mobile
| Internet Device Edition, while the Intel-founded Moblin project is built
| around the ÂGnome Mobile platform. This already gives Nokia some entrà into
| the world of Linux and Atom-powered devices.
