Technical Director Rich Green said that Nokia will still release a smartphone on MeeGo, which will be the successor of the N900, but will not have a QWERTY-keyboard, and will be made in the form of a touchscreen monoblock. His name is N950. He also said that despite recent events, Nokia has obligations to Intel, and can not yet completely abandon MeeGo. In general, the device will be a platform for development and will have a good filling.
- Our strategy regarding MeeGo changed last Friday. - Our new MeeGo-device will contain new technologies, reviews of which we want to receive from customers and developers. - MeeGo will support Qt applications, so applications can be easily ported from Symbian - We are still discussing what to do with the MeeGo source after the release of the device.
Applications written with the Qt toolkit will also be supported. The release date and cost has not yet been determined, but the announcement will take place this year.
