Nokia to use Linux in More Mobile Phones

Nokia is considering using Linux software on some of its handsets.
According to vice president Ukko Lappalainen the software would be viable for use on its top-of-the-range devices, which currently use Symbian software on its mobile phones and Linux maemo with its internet-tablets including the N810.
Lappalainen told Reuters: "In the longer perspective, Linux will become a serious alternative for our high-end phones".
However, Lappalainen revealed that Nokia would develop its own Linux software rather than opting for Android - Google's Linux-based platform.
"I don't see anything in Android which would make it better than Linux maemo."
