Nokia dismisses Android, eyes Linux for its high-end phones
Unwired View — ... those from the Nseries and Eseries.

Obsessable News Feed — Nokia voiced its support for Linux as a platform for high-end smartphones, indicating its willingness to move to an open source platform. Though its latest models are still running the Symbian platform, there seems to be an industry-wide move away from Symbian in general, with Motorola recently changing its focus towards Android.

Nokia currently uses Linux for its internet tablets and Symbian for its phones, but now appears to be willing to start transitioning to a Linux base for some future smartphones. There's no indication that ...
