Nokia’s Crowdsourced Design Competition Shows Fans Really Do Want Android [Nokia]

When Nokia started crowdsourcing ideas for a new potential phone, I a great deal doubt they expected one of many key criteria named by partakers could be an \” open source operating system with unlimited multitasking.\” Like…Android? Their fans want Android?

Ok, fair enough, Symbian is open-source and might do a small amount of multitasking. But say \” an open source platform in a position to multitasking\” to anyone on the earth, and they\’ll give some thought to Android. And rightly so-Nokia-adopting-Android rumors have circulated prior to now, mostly because of an amazing desire from their users for a platform that\’s slightly bit more up-to-date than Symbian.

Nokia may\’ve quashed those rumors identical to they discarded Symbian for their high-end series of phones, but can MeeGo really save the day? I\’d start observing Android, if I were their new CEO. This crafty designer has the appropriate idea.

But back to the design competition. There are three design sketches that you should vote for, with the winning design being changed into a 3D render by Nokia\’s team of artists. Whether or not it will become a precise phone, that\’s for Nokia to choose. Somehow, I will\’t quite see it happening however. [Nokia Conversations via EuroDroid]
