They should now atleast introduce multi-tasking in Asha series phones. Swipe ui without multi-tasking is not a good idea.

What was the last good idea that came out of Nokia???

... we are talking about phones that cost under 150 euros, likely below 100e. LTE, CZ (let alone PV) will never happen.

The rumor does indeed mention that the UI is as smooth as on N9.

Re: Nokia Asha line going towards Swipe UI?

yeah.. but it still is dumb S40 nokia os

edit: though it is a step forward for S40

Re: Nokia Asha line going towards Swipe UI?

^^Series 40 easily multitasks with java apps 6 to 7 apps are easily handelled even on 3110c 5130 etc though i dont yet have tried to tweak the ashas yet:( but it can run multiple java apps:)

Re: Nokia Asha line going towards Swipe UI?

Let me be the first to say it, but people are going to be in for a shock when they see what Nokia has planned for the Asha line in future.

Let me tell you one thing, it won't be S40 and it won't be WP....

pics or it did not happen :p

it would be cool to see that Nokia are not "all in" for WP.

after all, Swipe UI belongs to them and they should not let it die. Be that with S40, meego, meltemi, S^3, whatever.

swipe ui must survive. i wish they would incorporate it in future Symbian devices..

sigh

Indeed. Swipe UI is just so much more superior to anything out there; it is one of the two main reasons I am still using my n9!

Pushing MeeGo as a featurephone os is probably the most cost effective way to bridge the gap between WP8 and the current S40 line, at least until they can push WP8 further down.
Other alternatives could be using Android, Firefox OS or WP7. But all those also have disadvantages. Android is "the enemy", Firefox OS has performance problems, and WP7 would create confusion with the WP8 line.
They need to get a competitive 100 euro smart-featurephone in the market, with hardware roughly similar to a Lumia 610 (maybe a slightly smaller screen). MeeGo Harmattan could work reasonably well on those specs.

I very much doubt Nokia will be developing a totally new OS, simply too expensive.

EDIT: or it could be based on the OS developed by smarterphone
