Yesterday Nokia decided to clear the air about a rumor that started from a listing it posted on LinkedIn. The Finnish company’s job listing got our industry all worked up, because it called for a principle software engineer to lead the development of “embedded Linux device software and hardware drivers for our exciting new products.” Of course, when you hear Linux, you think Android. As a result, speculation began to spread like wildfire that the company was soon making a switch to the little green robot.
So the maker of the Lumia 920 decided to put an end to the rumors before they got out of hand. Company spokesman Doug Dawson confirmed that the job listing has nothing to do with the development of Android phones, but the company’s mobile solutions instead. “Our recently posted job is linked to our HERE Maps support for other platforms, including iOS and Android.” And there you have it folks. Welp, no Android powered Lumia handsets anytime soon.
