Another, somewhat related scrap of info is coming from Eldar Murtazin - he blogged about Nokia's big Linux/Maemo plans a while ago, and UnwiredView translated the most important infos (Google Translator really just butchered the Russian blog post into incoherent gibberish):

  • Nokia is committing very serious resources to the development of it’s own new Linux platform (originating from Maemo but significantly rewritten and much more advanced). It will be launching the new type of mobile devices/computers/communicators based on it later this year.
  • These Linux based devices will start the new Nokia high end product line, which will take place of the current N-Series. Nokia S60/Symbian devices will be moving from the top of the line to the mid tier/mass market segment of Nokia inventory.
  • The new Linux platform and devices most likely will be unveiled in late summer/early fall at a big launch event in Germany.
And that "big launch event in Germany" was also revealed today: Nokia World 2009, September 2-3, Stuttgart.

Interesting stuff, but still quite a while away...
