Former employee of Nokia: Nokia is not with Microsoft
Although the public uproar is about to pass the Nokia and Microsoft to launch Windows Phone 7 using the Nokia phone, but Nokia has recently just been laid off Watts Martin is completely disagree with this claim, in the blog as discussed in Nokia as Apple, want to To take control of their operating systems and programming environment, with Microsoft to make sense.
First of all reports of criticism of Martin are directly or indirectly, from the same news, then the attitude that Apple, like Nokia, are to control the entire ecosystem.
According to Martin's argument, although the two existing mobile platform Nokia ─ Symbian and MeeGo are open source, but Nokia are the two most important platform for developers, the two platforms used by Qt API, it is by the Nokia s developed by Trolltech, the company also increased from map and navigation services provider owned by Navteq, Nokia Search tool from the M & MetaCarta, Nokia applications even if not as good as Apple's closed system, but Nokia will come through acquisitions or developing their own obtain the necessary software components.
However, Nokia and Apple in some of the strategies are very similar. Martin pointed out, Nokia announced in October this year, single bell mobile application development framework Qt, which is like Apple is using the Carbon API, to allow developers to build support through the API MacOS applications, Nokia requires developers to Qt as a basis to to build support for Symbian or MeeGo applications.
Martin analysis, cooperation with Microsoft, Nokia seems to no good, because Nokia will not give up Qt, and Symbian have real multitasking capability, more applications, while still get more business support; some speculation that Nokia and Microsoft cooperation may be expedient to wait MeeGo really mature, but he could not think of why not to Symbian with Nokia Qt products as a transitional period, and to select the Microsoft platform.
