Nokia Air: The Cloud That Never Was

Before they teamed up with Microsoft to offer Lumia handsets with the Windows Phone OS, Nokia were putting all of their eggs in the Symbian basket. 






Symbian is Nokia’s old operating system, which unfortunately became outdated with the advent of iOS and Android, forcing Nokia to mostly drop it from their repertoire. Last week, a video about Nokia Air appeared – which isn’t what is, but what could have been. 






Nokia Air is – or was – Nokia’s vision of the future, a service which lets users ‘experience everywhere‘ by connecting devices to the cloud.This phone is constantly connected to the ever-present cloud, which stores all the updates and apps that you could ever wish to download.Nokia Air may well have been imagined long before Apple got their hands on the iCloud, though.






The iCloud, as we all know, is what ties all of Apple’s products together; just like Nokia Air, you can access data and software from the cloud on your iPhone without having to download a thing. It also means that the content you access with your iPhone is the same as the content you can access on your iPad or your Mac, and it’s all thanks to the iCloud
