White Nokia N9 announced

Editor: Andrew Flegg

During the Nokia World keynote (where Kevin Shields showed how not to address a British audience during the reveal of the Windows Phone range), a brief slide showed the N9 in black, cyan, magenta and... white. Nokia Conversations confirmed what was also visible on the show floor - a glossy white 64GB N9 is being released: Nokia is happy to announce a new addition to the Nokia N9 family with the arrival of the white version of the highly acclaimed device. Current Nokia N9 users will also be pleased to hear that they will soon be getting a software update for their phone.

White devices are all the rave at the moment. So why was the Nokia N9 not available in white from the start? Frank Zillikens, who heads up the product marketing for Nokia N9, explains: “The manufacturing process for beautiful white products is quite complex and we wanted to make sure we deliver the best possible quality for our consumers.”

Your editor got to play with one of them, and it does look very attractive; although even with the glossy finish, I'd be worried about dirty greasy fingers leaving marks.


More info about Tizen, the MeeGo successor

Florent Viard writes to the meego-dev mailing list with some information about the Tizen Project, ranging from development to the merge with MeeGo to governance. When the Tizen project was announced, it was more a "political" decision about a view for a future system than the announcement of an already existing new technical platform. Ever since then, the Linux Foundation, Intel and Samsung are working on how they could create it based on MeeGo and Limo. It looks like they are still not sure of the architecture and this is certainly why they haven't disclosed any technical info yet. The sources from which the information was gathered are unofficial, so accuracy is not guarenteed. Still, with no official answers coming from the Linux Foundation some speculation is to be expected.
