Nokia recently announced that they will be running Windows Phone 7 as the mobile OS of choice on their smartphones, much to the annoyance of Intel, whose MeeGo mobile OS is being dropped by Nokia. Intel’s CEO Paul Otellini says that Microsoft made “incredible offers [of] money” for Nokia to make the shift.
“I wouldn’t have made the decision he made, I would probably have gone to Android if I were him,” he said. “MeeGo would have been the best strategy but he concluded he couldn’t afford it.”
“We will find another partner,” he added about MeeGo. “The carriers still want a third ecosystem and the carriers want an open ecosystem, and that’s the thing that drives our motivation.”
