Yesterday’s announcement by Nokia which it’s switching to Windows Phone 7 as the primary smartphone platform has already had, as well as will goon to have, great repercussions for copiousness of parties on top of a Finnish association and the new best blossom Microsoft. One of the greatest effects of which deal was which Nokia now no longer considers MeeGo — the open-source OS it was co-developing with Intel — an object of priority, classifying it as a “guidance project.” No prizes for guessing Intel’s nowhere near happy about which, but would you have also guessed Nokia kept Chipzilla in the dark about the new direction until a day it voiced it to a world? Such is the word from TechCrunch’s well placed sources, who also say that Nokia dedicated usually the three-man outmost group to a growth of UI customizations for MeeGo. Not just the hugest investment in a universe, we’d say, as well as when you consider Nokia and Microsoft already have notion devices drawn up, you’ve got to think plans to abandon MeeGo as the sincere flagship strategy were materializing in Espoo the prolonged time before this event. It would substantially have been good to discuss it Intel, yet, just to be grand. Hit a source couple for some-more item, including acknowledgment which Nokia’s N9-00, its initial planned MeeGo device, was canned — apparently due to complaints from operators about the hinge.
