Windows Phone 7 on Nokia: It’s official
A partnership agreement was signed between Microsoft and Nokia. The mobile phone manufacturer put on Phone Windows 7 as the main operating system on its future products.
Nokia also has a special agreement that allows it to customize WP7 while it is forbidden to other manufacturers when they install it on one of their models. It will participate in the development of the system.
Android does not allow Nokia to differentiate itself from other manufacturers, said the CEO, hence the choice of Windows. A custom WP7 will allows.
Faced with the slow development of MeeGo and with a Symbian system which does not support the touchscreen, the choice of an external OS was needed.
From 1 April 2011, Nokia will be divided into two structures: Smart Devices and Mobile Phones.
The first, Smart Devices, will use both WP7, Symbian and Meego on advanced mobile units.
The second will address emerging markets with the aim of providing to all mobile phones at low prices.

Nokia Booklet 3G
Nokia enters the netbook market, offering even the first model with a HDMI connector.
To do so, it is equipped with a new chipset for Intel, because architecture today is limited to a VGA connector, not practical to often connect and disconnect the computer to a larger video screen.
This model exploits the “Pine Trail” technology from Intel that provides HD video capabilities and combines the processor with the graphics card on a single chip. This gives the computer the “HD Ready” label.
Nokia is a company that supports Linux and ARM processor suitable for both mobile as SmartBooks. But it ruled that the technology was not mature enough and preferred to go into this segment with a more conventional Intel solution.
