New Series 60 Shows Nokia Loosening Up A Bit
While most of the focus in the wireless world today is on Nokia's new phone launches, it's also noteworthy that they came out with a revamped version of their Series 60 operating system that shows Nokia is learning to be a bit more flexible these days. It now supports multiple resolutions and gives carriers more options in customizing what they offer - an ongoing issue in the battle concerning who owns the customer. With the recent loss of market share, today's clam shell announcements, and this new version of Series 60, it appears Nokia is finally realizing that they no longer have the final say on what the mobile phone using public will do with their phones.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
