Nokia plan to launch linux based phone. So far, nokia is a big fun of their just acquired symbian S40 and S60 platform.
Actually, nokia already use maemo (linux based) for their internet tablet (Left picture). Maemo platform is completely open source.
Why they are not going to use android anyway which is gaining a lot popularity? One of nokia people said that they didn't find any positive side of android than maemo.
Update: A closer look-see at Reuters' report (ignoring the misleading headline) indicates that Nokia has not specifically committed to rolling out Linux on phones -- rather, it has simply said that it intends to expand its use of Linux across its product portfolio. We figure that handsets are bound to get swept into the mix at some point, but technically, we could just be looking at other kinds of devices. Always room for another Internet Tablet or three, we suppose.
