Nokia vows to make way for Maemo and Symbian

Nokia went public about its OS distribution strategies at the annual Capital Markets Day event yesterday. Apparently Nokia has finally become certain about the fact that the Maemo OS is the next best thing in the mobile world and that the S40 UI is something that not many people will prefer in the coming days now. So their strategy apparently is to cut down on the devices that have S40 as an OS and focus more upon Smartphones.
Maemo

Nokia plans to increase the market share of handsets utilizing both Symbian and Maemo even when the touch Symbian OS S60 5th edition has some work still left to be done on it. Now of course it’s about time that Nokia fully abolished the use of S40, but the current little steps taken by the company are commendable to say the least.

Some other points to be noted in the report by Nokia are; the total mobile sales that Nokia expects for the next year should at least be 10 percent higher than the current year. If nothing else the company would at least like not to go below that current market share of 38%. The point is of extreme significance as according to reliable sources, Nokia will be decreasing the average sales price of its handsets.
