A weird rumor got out and spread around the web. According to it Nokia is going to dump Symbian OS and move forward with Maemo. It was said that Nokia will run Maemo on future tablets and smartphones which is very strange considering that Nokia has invested heavily in the purchase of Symbian and the Symbian Foundation is working on lots of Symbian OS versions, some definitely more interesting than others.

While Nokia hasn’t officially commented on the matter, Peter Schneider, the guy Nokia hired to do all that marketing for Maemo has send a clear Tweet: “No, Nokia is not replacing Symbian with Maemo. Symbian and Maemo will continue to coexist.”

So what’s the real deal? We’ll just have to wait and see what the near future brings us!
