Espoo, Finland - Nokia announced today the porting of their Maemo OS to their mainstream hardware. Soon owners of Nokia touchscreen phones will have a choice of two platforms: Symbian or Maemo. The initial release of Maemo 5 (Fremantle) is planned to include support for the N97 and 5800 XpressMusic, with more to follow.
"As consumer demand increases for new multimedia experiences, Nokia is taking the leadership position to create new devices that meet this demand and maximize the experience for the user." said Philipp Schloter, General Manager, Nokia.
Another point to consider is that April's Fool is not celebrated worldwide either. For instance, in Spain the equivalent day is "Innocent's Day" on December 28. No idea how traditional is to celebrate April's Fool in Espoo, Finland.
Yes but remember everywere in the world is not the USA timzone. What day is it in Espoo?....April 1?
I realize that...but playing an April fools day joke on me when it's still March for me seems kind of like giving me a prize for a race I haven't run yet (even if I will win it later).
