In today's open source roundup: The Nokia X2 phone combines Android with Microsoft's online services. Plus: Three defunct Linux distros, and Linux dominates supercomputers.
I wish I could say I was impressed with the Nokia X2, but I'm not for the simple reason that it seems to be the worst of both worlds. You have Android of course, but it has been modified to try to make the phone into a hybrid that resembles Windows Phone and promotes Microsoft's online services.
How many people would really want to buy this thing? If you want Microsoft's services then the logical thing to do is to simply buy a Windows phone. And if you prefer Android then wouldn't you go for an Android phone that hasn't been tweaked to look like Windows Phone?
