Nokia and Intel announced today that its joint-venture software, seen as crucial to the Nokia enhances its leadership position in this market, started solidly.
In February, the two companies announced the plan to create Meego, which would merge the software platform Maemo, Nokia, the Moblin, Intel’s, which is also based on open source software Linux.
Nokia expects Meego’s help in the battle against Apple‘s iPhone, and Android, Google‘s leadership in the mobile phone market.
Nokia still holds 40 percent of the smartphone market in volume terms – with its Symbian software – but lost the lead among the more expensive models for new rivals.
In the middle of last year, Apple surpassed the Finnish company as a manufacturer of mobile phones with higher total profit, while selling just one iPhone for every 13 phones that Nokia sells.
Symbian, Nokia, has not attracted strong support from software developers – which is crucial for the sale of more expensive phones, after Apple and Google started to change the way consumers use their smartphones.
The failure to launch smart phones that provide more generous margins hurts profits and stock price of Nokia in recent years.
Last year, when Nokia and Intel announced their cooperation agreement, also mentioned the possibility of collaborating in the creation of hardware.
