Espoo, Finland - Nokia announced today the porting of their Maemo OS to their mainstream hardware. Soon owners of Nokia touchscreen phones will have a choice of two platforms: Symbian or Maemo. The initial release of Maemo 5 (Fremantle) is planned to include support for the N97 and 5800 XpressMusic, with more to follow.

I'm not seeing it on that link.

Did I miss something?

Maybe the date?

I searched the news releases and that article did not appear. Perhaps an April fools joke?

It was 10:30PM March 31, 2009 here.

Yes but remember everywere in the world is not the USA timzone. What day is it in Espoo?....April 1?

Another point to consider is that April's Fool is not celebrated worldwide either. For instance, in Spain the equivalent day is "Innocent's Day" on December 28. No idea how traditional is to celebrate April's Fool in Espoo, Finland.

I realize that...but playing an April fools day joke on me when it's still March for me seems kind of like giving me a prize for a race I haven't run yet (even if I will win it later).

Maybe it's an April Fools joke in 2009, but it might become reality in 2010. :)
