The Inquirer meldt dat mobieltjesgigant Nokia de Internet Explorer op haar computers inruilt voor Mozilla Firefox. Het bedrijf beschikt over 55.000 desktop-PC's waar het IE-logo verruilt wordt voor het icoon van de vuurvos.
Eén van onze lezers laat ons weten dat in de Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/02/23 ... es_firefox) staat dat Nokia ontkent dat ze overgaan op Firefox. "Het is een misverstand, zegt een woordvoerder van Nokia. "Er is geen afspraak met FireFox, noch zijn er plannen om deze overstap in de toekomst te maken".
" Nokia has denied reports that it is to migrate 55,000 desktops from Internet Explorer to the Firefox browser.
Last year, the Finnish handset-maker invested money in the Mozilla Foundation, maker of Firefox, to fund the development of a phone-based browser. The friendly relationship between the two organisations lent some credence to the rumours of a switch.

A spokeswoman told us: "It is just a misunderstanding. We have no deal with Firefox and there is no transition in progress." Further, she said, the company has no plans to make any such change in the future.
The denial comes just a week after the phone maker announced a deal with Microsoft to sell phones with the company's Windows Media 10 music player installed. Nokia and Microsoft have historically been rivals, with each trying to grab a share of the other's market. "
