Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) corporation, Nokia Technologies, has began hiring software experts and
sales partners to test its new products, as it sets to return to the mobile
phone and consumer tech arena, ITRealms learnt.
The company, ITRealms
gathered, may have heralded the ‘rebirth of Nokia’ with the launch of an
Android tablet N1, and also launched an Android app called Z Launcher, which
organises content on smartphones.
In the meantime, ITRealms reports
that Nokia’s technologies division has advertised on LinkedIn for dozens of
jobs in California, many in product development, including Android engineers
specialising in the operating software its mobile devices will use.
Although, the Chief Executive Officer
Nokia, Rajeev Suri, was not explicit on the preparations, however, disclosed
that the corporation aimed to re-enter the mobile phone business.
He also stressed that it will not
fall back on ‘traditional’ methods noting that, some staff at the 600-strong
technologies division are working on designs for new consumer products,
including phones, as well as in digital video and health.
One ace Nokia holds, ITRealms
gathered, is ownership of one of the mobile industry's biggest troves of
intellectual property, including patents it retained after selling its handset
business. With this the telecom giant intends to claw its way back to relevance
in the fast-changing, competitive mobile business where Apple has been scooping
up nearly 90% of industry profits.
