Hearing rumors of a potential Nokia purchase by software giant, Microsoft, is both surprising and expected. Several weeks back when the two companies made a joint announcement detailing future Nokia devices transition to Windows Phone 7, the writing was (for us) on the wall. How long would the two companies exist as separate entities with so much heavy collaboration? If infamous mobile leaker, Eldar Murtazin, is correct in his latest blog post, we didn’t have to wait very long at all.
According to Murtazin, Nokia is desperate not just for Microsoft to revamp their mobile phones, but to take full control of the company by way of take over/purchase. Such a marriage would unit the world’s largest software maker and hardware manufacturer into one super company. The resulting company would instantly have the benefits of both massive software and hardware muscle, though their combined effectiveness would obviously need to be proven.
The meetings between the two companies supposedly goes down this week. It’s unlikely either party will acknowledge such a deal if true. With that said, keep close to GS for the latest on this developing story.
