Despite the unquestionable success of the S60 platform, Nokia apparently isn’t ready to settle with just one OS for all of its devices as word is that they’re preparing a new mobile OS in collaboration with Intel. Called oFono, this new Linux-based mobile platform is for GSM phones ruling out any speculation that it’s for a Nokia netbook. Details about it are pretty scarce at the moment, but it seems like a big project. Could there be some truth to Nokia E97 Envelop concept with this as its OS? Well, that’s what we’re to find out in the coming months. For what its worth, this should be a more worthy alternative to the more modern mobile platforms of today such as the Android, mobile OS X of the iPhone and the soon-to be-released Windows Mobile 6.5. Stay tuned folks because this might be the start of something big.
