Nokia May be Planning an Android Smartphone
Finnish firm looking or "Principal Software Engineer, Embedded Linux Middleware".
Despite Nokia's close relationship with Microsoft due to the former's support for Windows Phone 8 and arlier versions of the OS, the Finnish firm could be planning an Android-powered smartphone.
The company recently posted a job advertisement on LinkedIn seeking a Linux expert to work within a "start-up environment." The ad makes mention of "exciting new products" and "mobile phone technology".
The posting, which was for unknown reasons made inactive and inaccessible on Friday, was entitled "Principal Software Engineer, Embedded Linux Middleware."
Should the advert be referring to another project other than an Android device, one possibility is that Nokia is working on its own Maps app -- or other general applications -- for Google's platform.

Sales of the 920 have not been as projected. Windows 8 touch devices overall have not met sales expectations plus are getting destroyed by Android and iOS devices. The $1.5 billion dollar buzz MS has been trying to create for windows 8 ( mostly on smartphones and tablets ) have not translated well in sales and market share as anticipated. This would undoubtedly force Nokia to search for alternatives to windows and the only other viable option is Android ( hence the article and its rumour )
As far as I can tell, lots of people have been getting Lumia 920s and there have been estimates that are very high, in some countries, it has already outsold the iPhone 5 even though it hasn't been out as long
I am and have been a Nokia user since I was young. I've honestly only had a Sony Ericsson once, everything else has been a Nokia. This news really excites me!
Nokia quality phone with Android 4.x and beyond sounds exciting.
Sorry man that is never going to happen. Nokia will, fortunately, never use crappy android. It is obvious that they are simply creating a "Here" maps solution for android and nothing else as porting an operating system would take many teams of individuals and not just one... It would be a terrible mistake for Nokia to go to android as it is rubish compared to wp. Try a Nokia Lumia 920 and you will never again want to touch android
Title should read
"Nokia pulls it head out of buttocks"
Nokia may at some point hedge their bets and do Android but I see no indication this is happening now. Despite hater assertions above it is indeed selling. We're not talking iphone5 or galaxy sales but they are certainly moving enough units to stick with the game plan.
This is a pretty silly and assuming article.
