The rumors that Google might be building its own Android phone have been ☞ revived once again. I don’t think that would be a really big surprise. At the end of the day, just imagine for a second that the Android market will not take off even if there are ☞ quite a few devices available and ☞ new devices are announced every day. Google launching his own phone would probably be the last chance as that will most probably guarantee a lot of buzz and would attract a lot of users.
But let’s pause for a moment and think what would happen if one of the current market leaders would try to build an Android phone. Can you imagine Nokia launching an Android phone called Nandroid97, or RIM launching an Android phone called AndroBerry or even Apple launching an iNdroid?
Before jumping up and screaming that’s totally stupid (which I agree that’s probably 1000% correct) lets just imagine that due to the losses registered for the first time in the last decade and due to their platform ☞ not seeming to catch up with the competitors’, Nokia would decide to finally ditch ☞ Symbian and build a phone on the ☞ Android platform.
Nokia probably still has a lot of Java developers from their J2ME era. While not similar, these guys could start developing on Android almost right away and leave the company focusing mainly on innovating on the devices. Plus Nokia will not have to invest even more time and money into their own market place (Ovi Store) and could innovate their “cloud” offering (and why not push it as the common Android cloud).
So, what are the odds of seeing an Android phone made by Nokia (Nandroid97)?
