It's official. Dismissed as a silly rumour by many, Nokia and Micorsoft have just announced a very comprehensive partnership
in which Windows Phone 7 will become Nokia's prime smartphone platform. It goes a lot deeper than that, though.
Update: Qt will not be available for Windows Phone 7. Qt will remain the development platform for MeeGo and Symbian.
Update II: During its Capital Market Day event, Elop confirmed Nokia will not make a comprehensive MeeGo product line. It will be a platform to learn from, but it won't become a competitive platform.
Update III: Android was not an option because it would be difficult to differentiate there.
Update IV: There will be 'substantial reductions in employment' in Finland and around the world. Also, before I forget, thanks Engadget
for the live-blogging where I get this stuff from!
