Post launch of the flagship N97 handset during the Nokia World Conference, Ukko Lappalainen, vice president at Nokia's markets unit has said that the Finnish company is not interested in the Android platform. "I don't see anything in Android which would make it better than Linux Maemo," he quipped.
Nokia uses the Linux Maemo OS on its Internet tablets and Symbian Series 60 on its phones. In the future though, Lappalainen expects a gradual shift towards Linux, and it might as well end up as a serious alternative to the operating systems in the company's high-end devices.
The comments come at a time when Nokia has just completed the acquisition of Symbian. Nokia has also expressed plans to make Symbian an open source operating system.
Do you think Nokia should try out Android as well, especially since competitors Sony Ericsson and Motorola are reportedly eager to go Android?
