So Is Nokia going with Maemo as its next generation smart phone platform? This is the question that is floating around on the web and there were many speculation around it saying that this might happen as Nokia is facing tough competition from RIM and Apple. The answer to the question is no, as the Finnish giant has assured that Symbian is something to which they are committed and why not it is one of the leading smart phone OSs in the world and now Nokia own it fully and it also has big plans for the recently formed Symbian Foundation going ahead. Maemo, according to Nokia is for its Internet tablets and Nokia Rover will be the newest tablet on the block. Unlike the previous tablets from Nokia, Rover also has voice communication functionality, which has made people think about Symbian's future with respect to Nokia smart phones. Nokia has also said that though they are committed to Symbian and S60, they also keep on exploring other opportunities with respect to mobile platform technology and the possibilities are endless. So in near future, you might see Maemo on Nokia tablets but Symbian and S60 are here to stay. It will take very long time for Maemo to build the user base that Symbian boasts of and till then Symbian is here to stay.
