Nokia acquires Scalado to enhance its Lumia line of Windows Phones

Nokia, to cope with the media department of excellence offered by the competition (not that one of the Finnish is very bad), has decided to buy Scalado , a company that for nearly 10 years working with Nokia, HTC and BlackBerry.

Lately Scalado, just with BlackBerry, has worked to bring new multimedia functions to the department, in particular for what regards photos and videos. We all know that RIM is not going very well lately, so it is possible that Scalado has decided to surf safer waters (probably more profitable!) And rely to a world famous brand Nokia to enhance its brand.

In all probability, we see the first results of this acquisition with the new Windows Phone 8 devices. I'm curious to see the result of the new features offered by the excellent quality of PureView Scalado together, also on the line next Nokia Lumia smartphones.

The smartphone has a very unusual curved designed, including a curved screen and since the wp7 currently cannot support that big sensor this device probably will be powered by WP8 Apollo. Also note that the capacitive buttons look like WP7 but the menu key now bears a Windows 8 logo.

From the leaked slides, we can see that this devices will have the following specs:

• 4.3″ Curved Glass touchscreen with HD display
• 41mp sensor, Carl Zeiss lens and PureView imaging technology
