Microsoft Ending its Short-Lived Tenure as Android Phone Maker

[Kang]

Microsoft imetangaza Nokia X zitahamia Windows Phone na hivyo kuwa mwisho wa kutumia operating system ya Android ya mpinzani wao Google.

Among the details in Microsoft's big layoff news was the fact that the company plans to pull back on Nokia's brief foray into Android-based phones.

"We plan to shift select Nokia X product designs to become Lumia products running Windows," CEO Satya Nadella wrote in his memo announcing the job cuts. Despite the use of the word select, Microsoft clarified it doesn't plan to make future Android-based Nokia X phones.

One of the big questions surrounding Microsoft's Nokia acquisition was whether they would continue making devices running Android.

Announced only this past February, the idea behind Nokia X was to pair the open source Android core with Microsoft and Nokia services and, in doing so, reach lower prices than Microsoft had been able to hit with Windows Phones.

Microsoft appeared as recently as late last month to be committed to the product line, introducing the Nokia X2.

Finally, they actually surpassed my expectation. I didn't expect them to make a successor to the original Nokia X. It was just a matter of time anyways.

linux, meego, tizen, sailfish, maemo, ubuntu, firefox, android(aosp), na mengineyo. zipo os kibao za kutumia ila sikuwa namaanisha software bali namaanisha hardware msft kutotengeneza s40 na featurephone ina maana kutakuwa hakuna simu za tochi wala simu zozote za nokia chini ya laki 2, zile asha na simu nyengine za java zote hazitatengenezwa ina maana unabaki na wachina tu. even hao wachina watakuwa hawana mtu wa kumcopy tegemea pia bidhaa zao kushuka viwango.
