Nokia to abandon mobile business and sell it’s assets to Huawei or Microsoft in 2013?!
It first seemed that Nokia’s Lumia 920 was the company saver, but now Forbes predicts that Nokia is abandoning it’s mobile business and selling it’s assets to either Huawei or Microsoft. The prediction was written by Forbes contributor Tristan Louis, founder of Keepskor. He also states that 2013 will see great deal of movement in the mobile industry, and Nokia’s departure from the mobile handset market will be among the year’s most notable events.
Nokia abandons the mobile business: The biggest shocker (and what I suspect will be my most controversial prediction), though, will be the the departure of Nokia from the phone business as the company sells its mobile operation and infrastructure divisions to Huawei in order to focus on software and services. With the company’s bet on Windows 8 having failed in the marketplace, it will see Microsoft and Huawei competing for the mobile device division and will eventually sell its smartphone group to Microsoft and the rest of its telecom interests to Huawei.

Samsung reportedly launching Tizen-based phones on NTT DoCoMo in 2013!
NTT DoCoMo is partnering with Samsung to develop phones running the open-source Tizen operating system, according to report from from Japan’s Daily Yomiuri. First Tizen-based smartphone would be launched next year. According to the Yomiuri, other mobile phone carriers are also getting behind developing Tizen because they “fear” Apple’s and Google’s hegemony. Tizen operating system was first introduced back in September 2011, and came about when Nokia’s MeeGo OS was dumbed. Tizen’s main developers are Samsung and Intel, a major US semiconductor manufacturer. Also the development of apps for the new OS would be much more simpler.
