Nokia N9 Successor Leaked

 A few months back Nokia said that they will be leaving their MeeGo team and Nokia will no longer be developing the linux based mobile OS. So soon after that the Meego team went out and made a company of their own and is now called JollaMobile. Nokia gave them some of the Meego related patents as a housewarming gift. Then the head of JollaMobile said that they will be releasing 1 meego phone by the end of this year and hopes to release two devices next year. Their goal is not to sell the most amount but to gain some love from the consumers. Now there is a leak of an N9 successor which is codenamed Lauta and was supposed to be the immediate successor to the N9. This device was supposed to be launched right after the N9 was launched. This launch was cancelled because of the Feb 11 announcement where Nokia a strategy change. So there was not much point of bringing this phone up. In an email Elop said that "only 3 meego phones in the 3 years was a huge lie. The design of the N9 successor is pretty much same as the N9 but has a physical keyboard. All of the specs are similar to the N9. To see more images of the N9 successor click here. This is truly a wasted talent as this device might have been pretty popular with the physical keyboard. I hope that some time in the future Meego and Nokia will reunite once more and nothing beats Nokia hardware not even Apple or Samsung. It is still unsure who will be manufacturing future Meego devices yet. But this phone is not wasted whatsoever because somehow this design will be used in future Lumia devices since the original Lumia 800 took the body of the N9.

Jolla Receives A Gift From Nokia, MeeGo Patents

Last Week we heard that Meego has stopped development and most of the employees left the company. Then a few days later the group of employees which left Nokia formed a company by the name of Jolla Mobile. Then today Nokia sent a heartwarming gift to Jolla Mobile which is MeeGo patents. To now there is not much information about which patents were transferred. Jolla founder, Jussi Hurmola, said the two companies have a “good and open relationship.” The company described the project by saying, “Nokia will offer training, funding, and help identify business opportunities and partnerships for those interested in starting a new business or a company on their own, which can fuel new growth for impacted communities.” Hurmola said that  they might launch their first device by the end of 2012.

MeeGo Is Back

A few days back Meego at Nokia have left the company for good, which puts the development of the platform to the end. Then, earlier today The Verge discovered a Twitter post as well as a Linkedin company listing (the latter has since been deleted) indicating that a group of ex-Nokia employees has formed Jolla Mobile. Which is a startup that aims to save the MeeGo expertise that Nokia developed in producing the N9. According to The Verge, the Linkedin company page listed  Marc Dillon as Jolla's CEO. He is a 11 year Nokia veteran and the lead engineer of Maemo/MeeGo development. 


The Tweet (which is still visible) said:
"New ‪#MeeGo‬ smartphones will be created together with our industrial and investor partners and with support of the MeeGo community."

The Linkedin site was quoted as saying:

"Nokia created something wonderful – the world’s best smartphone product. It deserves to be continued, and we will do that together with all the bright and gifted people contributing to the MeeGo success story.
Together with international investors and partners, Jolla Ltd. will design, develop and sell new MeeGo based smartphones. The Jolla team consists of a substantial number of MeeGo’s core engineers and directors, and is aggressively hiring the top MeeGo talent to contribute to the next generation smartphone production."


This story if true will be pretty interesting as to how it plays up with the currently growing market. In addition they also need to protect themselves from the ongoing patent wars which might strike any company anytime. We are hoping that MeeGo will continue to develop and make more brilliant phones like the N9.
