Nokia is working hard to complete MeeGo, the operating systeem that should run on future flagships of the Finnish brand. According to the the chief of the team that develops the interface, MeeGo is a revolution.
Smartphones are now in the stadium that cars were in hundred years ago. The steering wheel, the most important 'interface' of a car, was not yet invented back then, Manufacturers were looking for the best system, and were trying different options, says chief UI design at Nokia, Marko Ahtisaari iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7 are designated as attempts to find the 'steering wheel' for smartphones by Ahtisaari.

With MeeGo, that is been co-developed with Intel and AMD, Nokia wants to take the next step in smartphone development. Big words for a man that works for a company most people believe is back on its competitors, but Ahtisaari thinks he can make them true.
Marriagetherapist Ahtisaari: "You’ll see couples in coffee shops who’ve been together 10-15 years both sat with their heads down, operating their devices. We need to give people their head up again. The ability to keep social interaction with the people that they’re physically with. That means a better ability to use the devices single-handed and them requiring less of our attention for peripheral interactions. Notifications, for example, could be much improved so they require much less from us" MeeGo should help doing this, despite the lack of actual examples how it will be done.
