Nokia's unified OS to ship in two years    [ 26-06-2008 12:09 ]

Author: Irina Turina     Translation by: Administrator     

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past day, you'll know that Nokia bought Symbian in its entirety, and handed it over to the non-profit Symbian Foundation. Now, as for when we'll see a device running on the unified open-source Operating System, well, at a press conference, held in London, England, Kai Öistämö, Nokia’s head of devices, stated that the likely time in which a device running the OS will be available, will be sometime in 2010, at the very earliest. As the new OS will be backwards compatible with S60 3rd Edition, developers can continue to create applications for it, as they'll run on the new OS.

Motorola, to little fanfare, have released their A1600 and A1800 handsets. Much like the A1200, they both run on Linux, sport GPS, and are equipped with a touchscreen. Both handsets are virtually identical, with the only difference being that the A1800 can connect to two networks at any one time, both GSM and CMDA networks.

The tech specs of the A1600/800 are as follows:

• Connectivity: Quad-band GSM, with GPRS and EDGE support
  
• Screen: 2.4” touchscreen, QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) resolution, showing up to 262 thousand colours
  
• Camera: three megapixels, with continuous autofocus – a first for a cameraphone
  
• Memory: MicroSD card slot
  
• Extras: GPS, Bluetooth, with A2DP support, card scanner, FM Radio, microUSB port
  
• Dimensions: 98.9 x 53.5 x 19.6mm
  
• Weight: 128 grams
