WOW! Nokia is really heating up the valley these days. Nokia’s push to not only be a player in mobile but in web as well is not all rhetoric, they are acting on their words. I’ll give full disclosure here, I’m a Nokia snob, have used a nokia device since 1997 as my primary phone, even when I was at Disney and Danger, I just couldn’t stop using a S60. Perhaps the threat of Android/Access/Palm and Moto steering towards Linux mobile platforms is was inevitable that Nokia would jump in the race, after all don’t they dominate 40% of the handset market. I’ve been following Trolltech since a UI project I worked on with TMOUS back in 2005. Good for Nokia for acquiring a local valley company, and they are getting a well experienced team and toolset to develop on the Linux platform, this should definitely help Nokia hit the ground running in a plan to supplement the s60 roadmap and beyond.
