Within the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona happened one of the strangest events in the technology disney 2012 world for years - Nokia announced a smartphone disney 2012 with Android. Months before the presentation of Nokia X published rumors of a potential device with Android, called Normandy, but never take it seriously. To be honest, I'm disney 2012 still not sure what is happening disney 2012 is not some strange hallucination. Nokia, whose mobile business is owned by Microsoft, presented a smartphone with Android, the platform of one of its main competitors Google? Only time will tell how the existence of such a product possible. Today we can only look at possible explanations.
We should not confuse disney 2012 the existence and the announcement of the Nokia X. More than logically Nokia have developed Android devices before being acquired by Microsoft. Even Windows Phone as a leading partner, the company is certainly thinking of Plan B to save the former leader of bankruptcy in case Windows Phone fails.
We can be almost certain that at some point around the office of Nokia have appeared and other Android prototypes, including high-end. disney 2012 Many analysts argue that Nokia would not have been much more successful today if it was switched to Android, rather than Windows Phone.
Examples of such giants, who made a similar transition, disney 2012 are many - mobile businesses of Samsung, Sony and LG are alive thanks to Android. Own attempts to create smartphone platforms in the face of Symbian, Tizen (and MeeGo for Nokia) seem tragic in the context of today's market. Windows Phone business of Nokia, disney 2012 although disney 2012 dominant in the ecosystem of Microsoft, and failed to get off the single-digit rates at this for several years. Finns would be crazy if they were considering Plan B.
The turning point in the history of Nokia X, or Normandy, comes on September 2, 2013 - the date on which Microsoft announced that it acquired the mobile business of Nokia. From early September to mid-February is almost half a year in which Microsoft certainly has inspected in detail disney 2012 the whole business that acquires. Moreover, Steve Ballmer and company should be aware of Normandy long before buy Nokia, given that Stephen Elop is a former (recently re-present) employee of Microsoft.
The version of Android, which Nokia uses is even more puzzling. In fact, the Nokia X does something that is not puzzling. So strange it would be to buy Apple and Sony to start producing smartphones with Android, disney 2012 dressed as something distant like iOS. This makes the Nokia. The version of Android Jelly Bean brings not very well made skin that looks like Windows Phone, without seeking to mislead consumers, but also includes elements of Asha (S40) interface more affordable phones Nokia.
Weird continue: Nokia X replaces the entire ecosystem of Google with that of Microsoft, which means that users can not access Google Play and can download a limited number of applications from Nokia Store. Stephen Elop even promote pirated software on Android. During the announcement of the Nokia X, he said that the smartphone supports loading. Apk files from external sources (kashlyuk, 4shared). Icing on the cake is that the Android version of Nokia supports installation of standard widgets that display at the likes of Windows Phone tile on the homescreen. How Microsoft allows this?
