Nokia stops working on Meltemi mobile OS

In late September last year, I wrote that Nokia is developing its own mobile OS for low-cost mobile phones. This OS for Nokia, according to plan, would have the same meaning as the OS Bada for Samsung. Those. for business-grade phones, Windows Phone is used (in the case of Samsung, Android), and for budget handsets, Meltemi is used (Bada, in the case of Samsung). A year ago, it was announced that Meltemi is part of the company's main strategy, which will help to overcome the crisis.

Meltemi was planned to be used in conjunction with Qt and the corresponding libraries. The company's management believed that Meltemi would allow them to master markets where budgetary “tubes” are in great demand. It was planned to cover the market with a volume of about a billion potential buyers - these are third world countries and so-called developing countries.

Meltemi was based on Linux, and in the event of “publishing”, one could expect the system to grow in popularity. Apparently, in an effort to reduce costs and work only in one direction, Nokia closes all that is possible, even directions that are directly related to the company's current business.

It seems that the Finnish manufacturer is now the main strategy - is to cooperate with Microsoft. Nokia abandoned virtually all of its own mobile product development, leaving only Qt. So far, the leadership is not going to close this direction, but experts predict that Nokia will soon abandon Qt. Perhaps, it will give to the development of third-party companies, perhaps - just stop working in this direction.
