Digital Compass Using Game Launched for Nokia N97 - Also Points Out Platform Fragmentation Problem

This is a somewhat odd “first”. Nokia’s N97 was their flagship smartphone during the first few months of 2009. Unfortunately, it was not released until later that year by which time the excitement and interest had worn off. Later in 2009 Nokia decided that the Symbian S60 platform used in the N97 had outlived its usefulness. The Linux based Maemo platform was named its successor. And, just recently Maemo itself was retired in favor of a hybrid of Maemo and Intel’s Moblin.
