Nokia user's dream may come true for a combination of Nokia hardware and Android software, Apparently, former Asia Pacific CEO of Nokia, Thomas Zilliacus, has started up another company with several other former Nokia employees and is calling the company Newkia. The important thing to remember about Newkia, though, is that they're committing to building phones that run Android, not Microsoft software. Zilliacus claims to have already tried to raise funding to buy out Nokia since before Microsoft stepped in and purchased the company, but couldn't compete with MS's offers. The silver lining there is that there are some investors who believe a combination of Nokia and Android has the potential to be successful, and so Zilliacus doesn't think securing funding for the new company will be much of a hassle. If all goes according to plan, he wants to have the company totally operational by 2014, which potentially would allow “Newkia” to have a phone out for the holidays next year.
