The company's first phone to use Maemo Linux is being touted as a mobile computer, thanks in large part to the OS and its ability to Mozilla-based browser with Flash support as well as the capability to run many apps at the same time. There is also 32GB of storage... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/nokia.n900.with.maemo.linux.now.in.the.us/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/most.nokia.phones.to.use.maemo.by.2012/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/nokian900-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia will abandon Symbian for all its Nseries services by 2012, the company said at a launch event for the N900. The Maemo-based smartphone is the only one of its type in Nokia's lineup so far, but the company plans to gradually phase out Symbian S60 on all its Nseries devices over time. It should eventually end in relatively mainstream devices and not just high-end flagships like the N900, whi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/most.nokia.phones.to.use.maemo.by.2012/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/old.rumor.of.nokia.buying.palm.resurfaces/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/palmpre-adsm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm stock climbed over 8 percent on Friday after speculation that it would be bought out by Finland-based Nokia. Trading was about 15 times heavier than usual in the morning and remained heavy until the end of the day. The spike mirrored a similar increase from late September.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/old.rumor.of.nokia.buying.palm.resurfaces/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/10/nokias.first.maemo.phone.now.ready/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/nokian900-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia on Tuesday said it has started shipping the N900, its new flagship. The crossover between its Internet tablets and media smartphones is the company's first phone to use Maemo Linux instead of Symbian and is better-suited to modern computing: it has both a full Mozilla-based browser with Flash but basic multi-touch and multitasking that can support many simultaneous apps open. Helping this ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/10/nokias.first.maemo.phone.now.ready/ Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/09/nokia.ports.qt.to.maemo.5.outs.some.maemo.6.info/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/maemo6intro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia on Friday revealed early details of Maemo 6, its next-generation smartphone platform. The OS will be the first to natively support multi-touch and capacitive touchscreens and should finally put the Linux-based OS on par with modern platforms like iPhone or webOS. Until now, the software has depended on single-touch resistive (pressure-dependent) screens incapable of gestures or other more ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/09/nokia.ports.qt.to.maemo.5.outs.some.maemo.6.info/ Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/09/device.sports.an.impressive.ui.and.features.list/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/n900sml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Along with Nokia's Booklet 3G, Electronista at CTIA also had a chance to fondle the upcoming N900 smartphone. Despite criticisms of the predecessor, the N97, the N900 represents a fresh attempt for the company to edge ahead against its competitors in the smartphone arena.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/09/device.sports.an.impressive.ui.and.features.list/ Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/07/android.2nd.place.in.share.in.3.years/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/htcmagic-reviewsm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Google's Android will be the second-largest smartphone platform in as little as three years, according to Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney estimated on Wednesday. While it trails today, the mobile OS is predicted to climb to 14.5 percent of the market, or about 76 million phones sold per year, by the end of 2012. As a consequence, it would whittle Symbian's market share down to 39 percent (203 millio... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/07/android.2nd.place.in.share.in.3.years/ Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/11/nokia.says.no.customize.story.untrue/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/nokian900-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia this morning reversed its seeming stance on excluding carrier customization from Maemo-based smartphones like the N900. Despite an executive claiming Nokia would at least partly follow the Android and iPhone models of giving less control to carriers over software in the OS, the company now says the argument is "simply incorrect" and that there are "many customization points" for carriers to... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/11/nokia.says.no.customize.story.untrue/ Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/09/nokia.maemo.phones.wont.carry.custom.apps/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/nokian900-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia will mirror Apple's approach to carrier software with all of its Maemo Linux-based smartphones, the company said on Wednesday. Rather than agree to include carrier-specific apps and modify the look of the OS to appease carriers, as it does with most of its Symbian phones, Nokia told Reuters it will insist that devices like the N900 come only with their default apps and interface. The choic... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/09/nokia.maemo.phones.wont.carry.custom.apps/ Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/28/nokia.world.spoilers/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0908/nokiatouchintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Ahead of next week's Nokia World show, German site NokiaPort is claiming to have some news about the future of the world's largest handset-maker's future products. This includes a debut of two new series of devices, including the Cseries and Xseries, both of which the company trademarked earlier this summer. The first Xseries model will apparently be an updated version of the 5530 XpressMusic hand... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/28/nokia.world.spoilers/ Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:15:00 GMT
