Nokia-Android fanboy dream comes true? ======================================================================
To all the people who wished, begged, or pleaded for Nokia to make Android phones, listen up, because it looks like your dreams may actually come true. On the day that Microsoft bought out Nokia's phone business<http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/09/03/editorial-microsoft-buys-nokia-what-it-means-and-doesnt-mean-for-android/>, the Finnish company's former Asia-Pacific CEO Thomas Zilliacus founded Newkia in hopes of producing the Android phones that Nokia wouldn't commit to, and he plans to hire Nokia employees who were interested in developing for Android<http://asia.cnet.com/singapore-based-newkia-wants-to-bring-nokia-back-62222296.htm>. [image: Zilliacus]<http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/nexusae0_Zilliacus.jpg> *Thomas Zilliacus* Zilliacus wanted to buy Nokia's phone business a year ago in hopes of steering the company towards Android, but he wasn't able to raise enough money to do so. Forming Newkia, apparently, was his next best option. The Singapore-based company already has a few ex-Nokia staff on its payroll, and Zilliacus plans to keep the R&D team still located in Finland. Newkia hopes to launch its first phone within a year. The company plans to target an Asian market, but it hasn't ruled out the possibility of releasing a handset in the US. It remains to be seen if the company can come up with a device that can match the quality of the Nokia Lumia 1020<http://www.nokia.com/us-en/phones/phone/lumia1020/>, but one can surely hope. *Via: **CNET*<http://asia.cnet.com/singapore-based-newkia-wants-to-bring-nokia-back-62222296.htm> -- Sent from Linux Mint 13 Maya with Cinnamon Desktop Environment -- ========== INDOSAT SUPER 3G plus http://www.indosat.com/Personal/Internet/INDOSAT_SUPER_3G_plus --------------------- ID-Android on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u81L8Qpy5A -------------------- Web Hosting, Zimbra Mail Server, VPS gratis Raspberry Pi : http://www.hostune.com -------------------- Aturan Umum ID-Android: http://goo.gl/MpVq8 Join Forum ID-ANDROID: http://forum.android.or.id ========== --- Anda menerima pesan ini karena Anda berlangganan grup "[id-android] Indonesian Android Community " dari Grup Google.
