World's Largest Smartphone manufacturer Nokia Oyj has announced that its flagship line, N-series, will use Linux MeeGo operating system. Nokia N8 will be the last N-series handset to have Symbian OS according to the source.
I personally think this is a wise decision keeping in mind that already been bitten by iPhone in the market share, the fast growing Android based mobile handsets are posing threat to the dominance of Nokia in many markets. Although Symbian is still way ahead of Android and iPhone (according to Gartner research, for fiscal 2008-09 50 Android and 250 iPhone were sold for every 1000 Symbian based phones), this move by Nokia could be considered a wise decision because Linux being an Open Source attracts developer community from world over. This increases the support and usability of the handset by leaps and bounds.
