Never say Never

I wouldn't discount or underestimate Nokia's effect on the advancement mobile device technology. They are generally 3-5 years ahead of their competition and first to market with new concept reference designs.

The N800/N810 Debian Linux-based Internet Tablet Maemo GTK+ touch UI is demonstrative of just how 'open' Nokia can be.

Nokia, pending approval, will be positioned in [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMo_Foundation]LiMo[/url] due to their recently announced Trolltech/Qt acquisition (Qt/Embedded and KDE are significant by products of Qt Toolkit).

Nokia are also in the position to launch bold initiatives, which 'could' include GPL open sourcing Qt, a move away from their dual-licensing LGPL.

So, positioning the word Android in the title with Nokia is really meaningless.
