Nokia denies android smartphone

The rumour of Nokia developing a smartphone based on Google’s Android platform has been flattened by Nokia’s denial of any such progress. The rumour was originated from the announcement of a strategic partnership between Nokia and Intel. The inside sources had reported that Nokia is expected to release an Android-based smartphone in September this year. The Nokia World conference would have been a great place for the launch in association with Intel.

But, on July 6, Nokia flatly denied any such progress being made at their research and development lab. The Finnish company has chosen to stick to the good old Symbian OS for Nokia’s Smartphone platform. Nokia’s spokesperson was quoted as saying “everyone knows that Symbian is our preferred platform for advanced mobile devices.” The spokesperson blasted the rumour and said that there was no truth at all in the news that the Guardian had published a week ago.
 
The dominance of Symbian OS is not a surprise as Nokia bought out the software partners of the mobile-OS making company. Later, while Nokia assumed full control of the platform, surprisingly the platform was made free for all.

The industry experts believe that even if Nokia have denied any such movement right now, it will be impossible for them to ignore the rapidly developing Android platform. Ignoring the open-source platform can be a crazy mistake from the Finnish company. And with the alliance with Intel in place now, the development of Android- based devices looks imminent.
