Nokia's Meltemi OS for budget handsets gets the chop

It looks like factory workers and executives are not the only ones to get the hatchet by Nokia these days. The Finnish company has reportedly abandoned work on its Meltemi OS for budget smartphones.

Apparently, Nokia's leadership have decided to focus the company's efforts on further developing the Series 40 platform, and bring more low-priced touchscreen devices like the trio of Asha handsets which got unveiled last week. More affordable Windows Phone devices like the Nokia Lumia 610 are also in the pipeline.
