Last week, we heard Nokia's plans of introducing Android powered smartphone, codenamed as Normandy, and the source stated the project is "Full Stream Ahead".
Today we have reports from a Chinese webpage, reporting that the Finnish company is still ahead with the plans of Asha smartphones, but the Android project seems to thinner. They had been working on several number of Android smartphone prototypes in it's internals, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 running seven-inches tablet. The team and the project was reportedly led by Peter Skillman, who was the former Vice President of Nokia's MeeGo Ux and Services and Design.
Accordingly, Nokia will not be able to sell Nokia branded devices for the next two years, as a part of it's acquisition to the Redmond company. And now, the company has suspended it's plans with the reported Android smartphones and tablets program. As we read on, the source have also stated that the company suspended their Android plans without any direct words from Microsoft. Nevertheless, these works were done from a separate division, that isn't coming under the Microsoft deal.
What news makes an entry today, is that the company is focusing on new technology, like the wireless power transmission, low power electromagnetic energy generation, flexible displays, graphene sensors and the latest trend of wearable technology, probably a smartglass, which is in the Finnish company's production line, that is to make it's way to the public by 2015. Either way, we keep our hopes flame high for Nokia, to hit back strong in the emerging markets.
