Nokia will focus on the development of Maemo platform-based mobile Internet devices (MIDs) for the high-end mobile computing segment in addition to Symbian-based devices for the mass market, according to Jonas Geust, vice president, Nokia N-series players.
Since Nokia has also developed netbooks utilizing Microsoft's Windows 7 platform, Nokia has enough platform diversity in its products and there is no need for Nokia to adopt any more operating systems, Geust stressed.
Nokia has rolled out its Maemo-based N900 mobile computing device supporting 3G technology and will aim to launch more Maemo-based devices in the future, Geust added.
There will be four to five operating systems competing in the global handset OS market in the future, said Geust, adding that Symbian S60 is certain to take a slice of the market, and Maemo-based products will continue to expand in share. There is also room for Windows Mobile and Android products, Geust said.
