News that Nokia develops low-end mobile phone system Meltemi

If you think that Nokia is focusing on the Microsoft WP7 platform, it is wrong. Today, there is news that Nokia is secretly developing a Linux operating system project code-named "Meltemi". The person in charge of this project is the Nokia mobile phone business executive vice president. President Mary McDowell.

Internal sources revealed that although Nokia has given up the development of high-end mobile operating systems, the company has shifted its business focus to low-end mobile systems. It is clear that Meltemi is their new direction.

Some analysts have speculated that although Nokia and Microsoft alliance, but Nokia will not and can not rely on their revival hopes on the WP platform. The value of the current mobile phone industry is shifting from hardware to software. The low-end mobile phone market is particularly important for Nokia, which is completely passive in mid- to high-end mobile phones.

Previously there were media reports that emerging-market consumers wanted low-end feature phones to have some features of smart phones, and Nokia did not do enough in this area. The Meltemi system is not able to solve these problems, we can only wait and see.
