The Nokia N9 is not popular nowadays, as we don’t know much about it — Nokia keeps everything in secret. Though the smartphone has the FCC approval, we have no idea what kind of device it will be. The latest rumors refer to the new technology to be used in the Nokia N9.
There are some points that require more attention. First of all, it refers to the OS it will run, and if some people say it will be based on Windows Phone because, according to earlier statements, all upcoming Nokia high-end devices will run WP7.1 and higher versions, other group of people says it has been announced before Nokia’s cooperation with Microsoft, plus it is an N-series handset and must continue its traditions. So it will most likely run Nokia’s native platforms like Symbian, Maemo or MeeGo. This question has no answer yet.
The second feature we want to discuss is its screen size. Some sources mention it will be packed with a 3.8-inch touchscreen, and the others are sure it will sport a 4.3-inch super AMOLED touchscreen.
The third question refers to the processor, and if we take into account the fact that Nokia is in good relationships with Intel, probably the chip provider will not be Qualcomm. Finally, all geeks wonder if it will be a camera-focused handset or Nokia will pack it with weaker hardware. All these questions aside, we have another rumor related to a new touchless gestures technology.
This technology has not been seen in any other devices, perhaps only in films. This is not news for geeks who are interested in Nokia, as back in December Marko Ahtisaari spoke about the new technology that allows the users to give commands to the device without tapping on the screen. Moreover, there was a MeeGo teaser introducing faster contact with the device. It uses Neonode’s zForce optical touchscreen and the patent was applied in far 2008, so Nokia is dealing with it for years. Though the zForce technology still requires touching the screen, it is amazing since it lets the users get their hands away from the display.
Well, there is not so much to tell about this technology, but we hope in the nearest future Nokia will unveil some details related to the Nokia N9 and this new gesture-based technology.
