Nokia MeeGo history

Interpreter's introduction:This article was published in English back in 2012. At that time, there were still fresh memories of Nokia's change in strategy, refusal to develop its own operating systems. And the move to Windows Phone had just happened and had a lot of promise. Now everything that happened in February 2011 is seen as a historic milestone in the smartphone and mobile OS market, which changed it once and for all. I had my eyes on this material for a long time and cherished the hope of translating it. Nobody did the translation, and so I finally mastered this business. I don’t know about you, but I’m sad that Maemo, MeeGo and even Windows Phone (which can be without it) have sunk into oblivion. Without that old Nokia, the market became boring and monotonous. But now what's done is done. I did not edit the text based on modern realities, all the described state of affairs is presented as of autumn 2012.





I will use {italicize in curly braces} my remarks further in the text .






On February 11, 2011 Nokia published a new strategy and entered into a cooperation agreement with Microsoft. The Windows Phone operating system has been selected as the new platform for Nokia smartphones. MeeGo has become an open source mobile operating system project that will be used in the long term for market research for devices, next-generation platforms and user experience.





The strategic partnership with Microsoft has practically sealed the fate of Nokia and the MeeGo OS, which has been developed jointly with Intel since early 2010. The new strategy included ditching MeeGo and releasing only one device over a two-year term.
