 Nokia is guiding its developer on how to develop an evolution app rather then a revolution app with the design that they required for Symbian to compete. Look like the design is to ready for Symbian Belle from the first two but could likely be found in Anna. So will developers follow it or not? The design is quite nice though then the usual one that Nokia 3rd party app currently using

Nokia N9 Will Still Be Support, No Worries; Symbian Belle Featuring Harmattan Swipe From MEEGO

Yes the Nokia N9 , Nokia flagship for MEEGO will still be supported. They won't just release and forget about it, there will be several software update for both the N9 and the N950 for developers. But again those two are the only two MEEGO smartphone from Nokia and the rest is all the way Windows Phone 7

In other news, Symbian Belle, Pr 3.0 after Symbian Anna will feature a Harmattan like swipe. So does that mean Nokia just take what it want from MEEGO that is useful for them and plant it in Symbian but then goes to Windows Phone 7?

Apple Gain Patent, A Threat To Everything With Touchscreen

Hottest topic of the day, Apple won patent for multitouch. Multitouch is what every smartphone with touchscreen have, regardless if your Ios, Android, Blackberry, Symbian, MEEGO and also even a smartphone or a tablet. With this patent, which I think shoud not have been bought as it applies to all touchscreen device which uses multitouch to interact with the whole phone, pinch to zoom, double tap to zoom, anything, the patent says that if you use all of the above then you'll have to obtain it from Apple. Remember touchscreen have been using multitouch, so should all those non Apple device should pay to Apple? No, because the patent is too general as this means Apple is in control right now

Nokia N9, Fastest Camera Image Capture

Yes, Nokia claims that its new Nokia N9 is the fastest camera image capture with total latency of over 2 seconds, faster then the SGS II and the Iphone. Even beating out the camera Canon Powershot. Does fast image capture also capture the best image quality? Well the N9 is using the Caral Zeiss, the same found in the Nokia flagship the N8 with a 12 megapixel

Deal For Symbian Close

Finally Nokia and Accenture close deal on Symbian. This means Symbian will be left to Accenture for development and support. This will keep symbian alive until 2016 as Elop mention before. After that, its all Windows Phone

During Nokia Communication, Stephen Elop believe that its windows phone 7 is on the right track and Elop said, "I have increased confidence that we will launch our first device based on the Windows platform later this year and we will ship our product in volume in 2012." Also 10 more symbian deviced will be release later this year, looks like Nokia is still going strong


Update: The launch date for Nokia Windows Phone 7 is October 26, why? Nokia has announce the date for Nokia World Conference where usually here Nokia launch its new sets of phone, maybe a mix of symbian and windows phone?, the place will be in London.


Also here is some windows logo that Nokia confirmed will be use by their Windows phone 7
