Nokia is finally coming towards Android phones

Nokia is on their way towards Android, Nokia will be developing a mobile phone that runs on Google’s Android software platform. The new device will be a touchscreen device and Nokia will unveil it at the Nokia World conference in September, in short Nokia is trying its luck in the smartphone market.

Nokia, are the makers of the almost 10 mobile phones everyday, as we already noted that Nokia is losing market for phones that can access the internet, send emails and download third-party applications, to products such as the Apple iPhone and BlackBerry Storm.

It is also quite true that Android software platform, has been gaining ground with over half a dozen handsets expected to be available by the end of the year. Analysts at HSBC believe that Nokia had 47% of the global smartphone market in 2007; that was down to 35% last summer and 31% at the end of the year.

Opting to use Android, an “open source” platform that any software developer can access, is a reversal of the Nokia’s previous strategy in mobile phone software.

According to the Guardian,  the response to the opening of Symbian has been relatively muted. By contrast, users of the iPhone have already downloaded over a billion applications in just nine months and Android has attracted a host of developers offering their “widgets”, or applications, to consumers through the Android Marketplace.

Gadget fans have already hacked one of Nokia’s existing devices, the N810 internet tablet, in order to run it on the Android system, but the new device will fully integrate the Android platform.
