It looks like Nokia is keeping an eye on other operating systems and it won’t bind its Symbian OS to all its future products. A new Nokia MID is going to arrive in late 2009, possibly before Christmas and it will run on Linux. It’s going to offer you a 4.2-inch touchscreen and a “hidden slide-out keyboard”.

Another device called the Nautilus will also come with a touchscreen on board and a slide-out keyboard. A sensor will extend an withdraw the keyboard and it will also have an ultra-thin keypad. The device might not be sold until 2010 but by the end of the year we should have more information about it.

Nokia might reveal its new Linux software later this year at a Nokia event in Germany. Hopefully by that time we’ll have photos of the new Internet tablet and the Nautilus to show you. Until then all we can do is wonder what will Nokia come up with next in order to keep its impressive marketshare in the mobile business.
